Internet Explorer 11 Performance Dashboard - Open and Use

How to Open and Use Performance Dashboard in Internet Explorer 11

information   Information
The Performance dashboard in Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) is a tool that quickly gives you the time it takes a webpage to render changes that were made to the DOM (Paint Time), how many frames per second it's rendering (Frame Rate), how much memory it's using (Memory), and how much demand it's putting on your processor (CPU).

The dashboard is a great starting point for identifying the actions that cause slowness in your website. Then use the UI Responsiveness profiler to get finer details of the problems.

For more information, see: Improving UI responsiveness (Windows)


This tutorial will show you how to open and use the Performance dashboard in the modern and desktop Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) in Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows RT 8.1.

Note   Note
If you click/tap on a measurement in the dashboard, you get a running graph that shows ups and downs over time. When you're done, click/tap on the graph to return to the dashboard.

If you click/tap and hold on the 3 dots dots.jpg at the top of the dashboard or graph, you will be able to drag and drop to move it anywhere you like within the opened IE11 tab.
