Reflow tests

[Jonathan Klein]

Hi All,

I've been trying to do some research on reflow timings, and I wanted to use the reflow bookmarklet that Browserscope provides:

http://www.browserscope.org/reflow/about

Currently all rules but one are commented out in the version referenced by the bookmarklet (http://www.browserscope.org/reflow/static/js/reflow_timer_ui.js?v=18.361501324852497481), so the bookmarklet isn't super useful.  I could obviously uncomment the rules, or simply use one of the other versions available on the web with the full ruleset, but I'm wondering if there is a reason why these rules were removed.  Was there evidence to suggest that they aren't valuable tests?  Are they broken in some way?  Let me know if you have more information about this, thanks!

Hey Jonathan,

The reflow bookmarklet mostly just hasn't been maintained or worked on for some time now, though I think it's likely just as useful for measuring reflow times today as it was then. The rules were just commented to make the bookmarklet simple and fast and because the full suite of tests doesn't produce a wildly different median than any one of them.

Feel free to tinker with it and please do report your findings!

Regards,

Lindsey
