Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

babel-plugin-console-perf

A babel plugin to simplifies the usage of profiling in JS functions. I got this idea when browsing documentation on various console methods, and discovered that there's a console.profile/profileEnd function that automatically starts and stops the JavaScript profiler for a particular region inside the function. I wanted to make this as seamless as possible.

Note: Alpha quality program. Use with caution, and never use this to production

Usage

  1. Install the plugin using npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-console-perf
  2. Add the plugin console-perf to your .babelrc
  3. Add a comment // profile in the function you want to profile
  4. Open the JS console in your browser, and navigate to the profiling tab. Note that on latest Chrome (Canary is what I generally use) the tool has been moved into the "more tools" section. This is not the Performance tab, by the way.
  5. Load the page which calls the function where you added comment.

That should record individual profiles for each of the runs in case the function gets called multiple times.

Here's a video of the usage in action: console-perf-demo

Will try to put up a GIF as and when I get a chance.

If there are return statements, it checks to see if there are statements/expressions there, and then re-assigns them to variables and returns the variable instead. This ensures that the statements/expressions are also profiled. For instance:


function getHash () {
  // profile
  const a = 42;

  return heavyCryptoFunction({ key: a });
}

gets converted to:


function getHash () {
  console.profile('getHash');
  const a = 42;

  const hash = heavyCryptoFunction({ key: a});
  console.profileEnd();
  return hash;
}

instead of:

function getHash () {
  console.profile('getHash');
  const a = 42;

  console.profileEnd();
  return heavyCryptoFunction({ key: a });
}

which misses out on profiling a potentially CPU-heavy function.
