JetStream
A JavaScript and WebAssembly benchmark suite that measures how fast browsers start up and run advanced web apps.
JetStream measures JavaScript and WebAssembly startup and execution speed instead of simulated user interactions in web app frameworks, and it does not cover rendering or responsiveness.
WebXPRT 5
A browser benchmark that scores devices on everyday web tasks built with HTML5, JavaScript and WebAssembly.
WebXPRT 5 scores devices on everyday web tasks including AI workloads and publishes results from many devices, though one overall score hides which component limits performance.
MotionMark
A browser graphics benchmark that measures how well a browser animates complex scenes at a target frame rate.
MotionMark focuses on graphics and animation rendering at a target frame rate, with separate runs for phone, laptop and desktop sizes, rather than web app responsiveness.
Basemark Web 3.0
A free online benchmark that measures browser graphics and JavaScript performance, with WebGL and HTML5 tests.
Basemark Web 3.0 combines WebGL, Canvas, SVG, DOM and JavaScript tests in one run, needs other tabs closed and needs a desktop launcher for detailed results.
