phantomas

GitHub Logo

PhantomJS-based modular web performance metrics collector. And why phantomas? Well, because :)

NPM version Build Status Bitdeli Badge

Requirements

Installation

npm install --global phantomas

This will install the latest version of PhantomJS and add a symlink called phantomas (pointing to ./phantomas.js) to your system's PATH

Features

  • Modular approach - each metric is generated by a separate "module"
  • phantomas "core" acts as an events emitter that each module can hook into
  • in-depth metrics such as: number of events bound via jQuery, calls to window.write or complex CSS selectors
  • JSON and CSV as available output formats for easy integration with automated reporting / monitoring tools
  • easy integration with Continous Integration tools via TAP format and assertions handling
  • metrics can be emitted from JavaScript code of the page phantomas is run against (thanks to helper functions available in window.__phantomas)
  • utilities:
  • CSS analyzer via analyze-css
  • helper script to run phantomas multiple times

Let's make Web a bit faster!

Usage

Single run

phantomas --url https://github.com/macbre/phantomas --verbose

You can measure the performance of your site without requests to 3rd party domains (but allowing CDN that serves your static assets):

phantomas --url https://github.com/macbre/phantomas --verbose --no-externals --allow-domain .fastly.net

Parameters

  • --url URL of the page to generate metrics for (required)
  • --format=[json|csv|tap|plain] output format (plain is the default one)
  • --timeout=[seconds] timeout for phantomas run (defaults to 15 seconds)
  • --viewport=[width]x[height] phantomJS viewport dimensions (1280x1024 is the default)
  • --verbose writes debug messages to the console
  • --silent don't write anything to the console
  • --log=[log file] log to a given file
  • --modules=[moduleOne],[moduleTwo] run only selected modules
  • --skip-modules=[moduleOne],[moduleTwo] skip selected modules
  • --user-agent='Custom user agent' provide a custom user agent (will default to something similar to phantomas/0.6.0 (PhantomJS/1.9.0; linux 64bit))
  • --config=[JSON config file] uses JSON-formatted config file to set parameters
  • --cookie='bar=foo;domain=url' document.cookie formatted string for setting a single cookie
  • --no-externals block requests to 3rd party domains
  • --allow-domain=[domain],[domain] allow requests to given domain(s) - aka whitelist
  • --block-domain=[domain],[domain] disallow requests to given domain(s) - aka blacklist
  • --disable-js disable JavaScript on the page that will be loaded
  • --analyze-css emit in-depth CSS metrics experimental
  • --film-strip register film strip when page is loading (PNG files will be saved in ./filmstrip directory) experimental
  • --assert-[metric-name]=value assert that given metric should be less or equal the value
  • --screenshot=[file name] render fully loaded page to a given file

Multiple runs

This helper script requires NodeJS.

./run-multiple.js --url=https://github.com/macbre/phantomas  --runs=5

Parameters

  • --url URL of the page to generate metrics for (required)
  • --runs number of runs to perform (defaults to 3)
  • --modules=[moduleOne],[moduleTwo] run only selected modules
  • --skip-modules=[moduleOne],[moduleTwo] skip selected modules
