Question

I use jQuery to POST data to a page, and to get data back. How would I calculate the time it took from POSTing to the page, and receiving the data?

I use jQuery.post(), and here is an code example:

$.post("test.php", function(data) {
   //do something with data
 });

Answer 1

var start = new Date().getTime();

$.post("test.php", function(data) {
   //do something with data

   var end = new Date().getTime();

   alert((end - start) + ' milliseconds passed');
});
