Excellent Performance of chrome in Web Development

This article is a Web Developer's opinion on using chrome.

As a beginner in web development, I used Chrome for the first time and was attracted by its outstanding performance!

Before using chrome, I have been using Windows of the world, travel, 360, and other browsers. These browsers are characterized by powerful functions and simple operations. It's no better for normal computer users! However, these powerful and simple operations are redundant during development. During development, developers tend to pay more attention to the speed and compatibility of program loading, as well as convenient and clear Developer Tools. Chrome has both of these advantages, which undoubtedly brings us great convenience for developing web programs.

The following describes in detail the power of chrome.

1. First, there is a simple interface with nothing to do.We can observe the overall effect of our web pages from the biggest perspective! The unique trapezoid label design makes the interface more chic!

2. Chrome has excellent compatibility. It is compatible with HTML5 and css3.For example (Data source: http://www.findmebyip.com/litmus)

3. Incredible update speed. Currently, Chrome is updated every six weeks. This makes chrome always maintain its advanced nature and keep up with the pace of the times!

4. Excellent Developer Tools-this is also the most critical(In my friend's words: I don't know how to develop it without the Chrome browser, haha !)

(1) first, open the developer tool (there are two ways to open it: Right-click and select "review elements"; click chrome wrench> Tools> developer tools or Javascript console ).

(2) After opening the developer tool, we will find that all the tools we need are clearly integrated into a window, and we can easily switch between them. In addition, this window can be dragged based on our needs. Make our development process smoother!

You can also click the button in the lower left corner. The developer tool is displayed as an independent window. Click the button again to restore the previous status.

Let's take a look at the frequently used Developer Tools for other browsers:

IE8 is not fully functional and detailed (personal opinion );

The Firefox window is too messy and inconvenient to operate.

(3) display/hide the Console

Click the show console button to open the console, which is the same as the console function on the top. The difference is that the local display can be dragged, and the other is full filling display. From this aspect, we can also see that Chrome fully considers the different needs of developers (different effects after clicking ).

Partial display

Show all filling

In the console, you can not only view error information, print debugging information (console. Log (), write some test scripts, but also use it as a javascript API viewer.

For example, if you want to view the properties of the screen, you can enter "screen" in the console and press enter to output the relevant properties of the screen.

(4) when talking about the console, you have to talk about network. I personally think that the function is very powerful. When you enable the web page for any operations, the network will dynamically display the interaction information of related operations. The "network" tab is useful for analyzing the network conditions of website requests, viewing the request headers and Response Headers of a request, and viewing Ajax requests. Of course, it is updated from time to time. Network window, for example, is it very powerful!

Network window

Click each specific option on the left and you will see the specific information corresponding to each option (for example). Here we will not detail how to use it. You can understand it in the development process.

In addition, there are several other options for the developer tool. Next we will introduce the remaining options to share the strength of chrome.

(5) elements (element)

In the element window, we first see the elements of the web page. This is similar to the developer tools of other browsers. However, when you click on each element, you can discover the advantages of chrome. When you click an element, you will find several more tag items at the bottom.

The last blue background is the tag of your current vertex. The first one is the parent tag, which is then upgraded in sequence. In this way, we can easily find the top layer of the tag. You no longer have to worry about finding a parent tag in a dense tag.

If the page running effect is not satisfactory, right-click or left-click the place to be modified to directly modify the page and view the effect. If it is correct, you can copy the modified content to your program. This improves our development efficiency. Of course there are other options right-click and I will not go into details here. (Right-click the menu, for example)

The layout style of the webpage is also displayed on the right side of the elements window, as shown in figure ). You can also edit it. This clear structure and convenient operations further improve our development efficiency.

(6) let's take a look at the resources options. Here you can see all the elements used on your webpage, including JS files, CSS files, image files, cookies, sessions, and datbase. (Resources window, for example ). Note that both CSS and JS can be modified and take effect immediately.

(7) profiles options. It mainly optimizes the performance, including viewing the CPU execution time and memory usage. You can click the circular button in the lower right corner to start and click the eye button to view the performance.

(8) then the audits option. This is used to analyze pages, optimize pages, and increase page loading speeds.

First, it is like this:

Click the run button to perform webpage analysis.

After analyzing the files used to load webpages and unused files, you can adjust the program based on the results to speed up webpage loading.

(9) At last, I would like to mention the search box in the upper right corner, which provides great convenience for us to find the required elements (it was developed by Google, you should not question its search performance !)

5. Powerful chrome translation functions cannot be ignored,It can help Chinese developers read APIs or articles in foreign languages! This greatly improves the speed of problem handling.

In the above content, I have introduced the advantages of chrome for development that I understand. Of course, it has more than these advantages. To sum up, Chrome is the most suitable browser for developers. Let's try it out!

The above is my personal opinion and may have some shortcomings. Thank you for your understanding!
