Abstract

Cilj rada je analiza iskoristivosti Navigation Timing API biblioteke u svrhu mjerenja brzine internetske veze. U radu su detaljno analizirane mogućnosti koje pruža Navigation Timing API, te se pomoću istih pokuša prikazati opća slika brzine dohvata web stranice. Pošto primarna namjena Navigation Timing API-a je pružanje informacije o samom dohvatu stranice, a ne mjerenje brzine internetske veze, na nekoliko se načina pokušalo dobiti sustav za mjerenje brzine, uz najmanja odstupanja od stvarne brzine. Za svaki od tih načina su navedene prednosti i nedostaci. Na kraju je predstavljen prototip koji se sastoji od poslužiteljskog i aplikacijskog dijela te koristi informacije dobivene iz Navigation Timing API-a kako bi se korisniku prikazale njemu relevantne i razumljive informacije vezane uz dohvat internetske stranice.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this master’s thesis is to analyze the applicability of the Navigation Timing API for the usage of measuring the Internet connection speed. In this thesis, the functionalities were analyzed in detail, and with the results, it has been tried to show a general picture for different time markers of a page load. Because the main usage of the Navigation Timing API is to store the information about the user navigation, and not to measure the speed of the internet connection, several approached were implemented, to find the approach with the least amount of error. The pros and cons for each of the approaches were specified. Finally, a prototype is presented that consists of a server side application and an application part. It uses the Navigation Timing API with a combination of different techniques to show user friendly and user relevant information about these page load times.
