I’m developing a fairly large page with several external javascript files. In IE6, the page hangs for a few seconds just as it’s finished loading. I’m not (directly) asking for help debugging this problem, I’m only asking for help finding a tool to help debug this problem.
What I’m looking for is something similar to Chrome Developer Tools’s “Timeline” tab. Something that will tell me the run time of my various external scripts (or functions, event handlers, whatever level of granularity is available).
I’d much prefer something that is free, but if that isn’t available, I may be convinced to shell out some cash for a little extra quality.
Please keep in mind that I’m looking for tools that will work with Internet Explorer 6.
I think Dynatrace could be what you’re looking for.
It’s quite complex but integrates well with IE and gives you more data than you could ever use: Number of times functions get called, CPU usage per function, a step-by-step look at the DOM tree being built… It’s pretty intense.
Godspeed.
