Forum Load Time Indicator

[UKBusinessLive]

Ever wanted to see just how fast your board is loading?? Its a bit slow but your not sure how slow?? Just loaded a new hack - Is your board just as fast???

Well now you'll know with this simple little hack that sits queitly at the bottom of your footer. A timer starts when the page begins to parse and ends when it has completed loading all of the content. The result is the time in seconds of how fast (or slow) your forums are loading.

The Instructions are so simple too :D

ACP> Style Manager > Your Forum Style

1. Copy the code below into your forum's style headerinclude.

<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- Begin
/* This script and many more are available free online at
The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com
Created by: Abraham Joffe :: http://www.abrahamjoffe.com.au/ */

var startTime=new Date();

function currentTime(){
var a=Math.floor((new Date()-startTime)/100)/10;
if (a%1==0) a+=".0";
document.getElementById("endTime").innerHTML=a;
}

window.onload=function(){
clearTimeout(loopTime);
}

// End -->
</script>

and post this code into the Footer


<div align="center">
<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- Begin
document.write('This Page took <span id="endTime">0.0</span> seconds to load.');
var loopTime=setInterval("currentTime()",100);
// End -->
</script>
</div>



Thats it, short, and sweet enjoy :p

Please Click install if you use this ;)

The first piece if you use this, should go into the headerinclude. In the div for the footer if you added a class="smallfont" it looks a bit nicer. ;)

Nice job! (and agrees with Infopro)

Here's one more, there's more than one way to skin a cat:

Why remove the original coders credit? The code was free anyway.

Thanks Punchbowl :D

i was sent the code by one of my members without any mention of author or copyright attached to it, I will now add it to the main post.

Why is it that you say i removed the original credit to the author??? In my Snowflake mod i give the author all the credit. Had i known about this one i would of done the same.

Some people don't half jump to conclusions :rolleyes:

For some reason i don't think this quite works if you use the "View website thumbnail" mod, not sure why?? :confused:

*Uninstalled* - Timer continues to count up.

vbseo causes the index timer to continue on and on and on, you need to make it so when the page ends loading, it stops counting.

[wingrider]

Same experience here, and I'm not using vbSEO. It just keeps on counting.

Microtime is about the cleanest way of doing this.

Add this to very top of headerinclude ( i think ) above everything else ( must load first )


<?
$time = microtime();
$time = explode(' ', $time);
$time = $time[1] + $time[0];
$start = $time;

?>


In footer add:

<?
$time = microtime();
$time = explode(' ', $time);
$time = $time[1] + $time[0];
$finish = $time;
$totaltime = ($finish - $start);
printf ('Generated in %f seconds.', $totaltime);
?>

php doesn't load properly I think with templates :P

[porschinho]

This has nothing to do with the real load-time of a php based website!
Java script ist interpreted by the client computer, not by the server.
This loadtime indicates how fast your webbrowser displays the page, not how fast the server generates the content...

Freaking awesome, thank you!
This looks great.

Edit: nevermind. This fails to stop counting sometimes - uninstalled.

I'll update the code later ;)

Neither work properly. The first keeps going and the latter doesnt work at all.
