Google Chrome Speed Tests



These speed tests were filmed at actual web page rendering times. If you're interested in the technical details, read on!

Equipment used:

— Computer: MacBook Pro laptop with Windows installed
— Monitor — 24" Asus: We had to replace the standard fluorescent backlight with very large tungsten fixtures to funnel in more light to capture the screen. In addition, we flipped the monitor 180 degrees to eliminate a shadow from the driver board and set the system preferences on the computer to rotate 180 degrees. No special software was used in this process.
— Camera: Phantom v640 High Speed Camera at 1920 x 1080, films up to 2700 fps
