Description

During our last team sync we discussed it'd help to identify slow dashboard pages if we would not only know which pages was loaded, but also when it did finish rendering.

We could try to:

  • find a generic way to derive it from the browser
  • find a generic way to measure it in react
  • offer an explicit methods which we hook into react callbacks

\cc @AlexTugarev @gtsiolis bc you had some ideas how to implement it

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the dashboard analytics instrumentation and the React page-rendering entry points, then evaluate the proposed browser, React, and explicit-callback approaches. Done means dashboard analytics records when each page finishes rendering, in addition to which page was loaded.
