What do you call "done" and what do you call "start"? + +The answer is certainly not compilation time. Compilation time is one step. + +I think the answer should be different depending on the type of content loaded. + +For CSS, the answer should be "when the updated stylesheet was drawn on the screen" +For JavaScript, the answer should be "when the rebuilt code completed execution such that any changes are applied" +For images & assets, the answer should be "when the updated asset finished loading" + +The start time should be defined as "the timestamp the filesystem set as the write time". As in, the time the developer pressed save in their editor. |
