Measure Page Rendering Time On Ie 6 Or Ff 3.x

I have a page constructed using Dojo and I need to measure how long the page takes to complete rendering on my browser (NOT time-to-first-byte, or time-to-last-byte). In other word

Solution 1:

For render times in Firefox try Google Page Speed.

EDIT: in Chrome try the new Google Speed Tracer (Chrome 4 and up), it's amazing

Solution 2:

Firebug's profiler & net tab can be helpful. Chrome has similar functionality in their developer tools.

For Internet Explorer you could use dynaTrace.

Solution 3:

I've found that "Page Speed" for Firefox is a great plugin, and dynaTrace is definitely the best if IE6 is required.

Solution 4:

YSlow will help you with Firebug and as previously mentioned dynaTrace is your best bet for IE.

Solution 5:

Can you just do a dojo.connect to a method like postCreate on one of your widgets and get a timestamp?

dojo.connect(dijit.byId("myCalendar"), "postCreate", function(){ console.log(new Date() - start); });

where 'start' is a global declared in a SCRIPT block in HEAD?
