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

node-gc-profiler

A cross-platform (tested on Linux, Windows, and OSX) profiler for the v8 garbage collector running inside Node.js. It will emit an event after every GC cycle providing you information about the duration and type of cycle.

npm install gc-profiler

Example:

var profiler = require('gc-profiler');
profiler.on('gc', function (info) {
  console.log(info);
});

The info object contains the following properties:

| Property | Type | Description | | -------- | ---- | ----------- | | date | Date | The approximate start time of the GC cycle. This uses the c++ time library internally, which only has one-second resolution. | | duration | number | The duration of the GC cycle in milliseconds. | | type | string | Either Scavenge or MarkSweepCompact depending on the type of GC cycle. | | forced | boolean | True for a forced cycle. | | flags | number | The raw GCCallbackFlags provided from v8. |

The profiler.GCCallbackFlags enumeration is provided to help decode the flags property.

profiler.GCCallbackFlags = {
  kNoGCCallbackFlags: 0,
  kGCCallbackFlagCompacted: 1 << 0, // this flag is never set in v8 versions >= 3.6.5
  kGCCallbackFlagConstructRetainedObjectInfos: 1 << 1,
  kGCCallbackFlagForced: 1 << 2
};
