hyperfine

sharkdp/hyperfine · ★ 29.1K

hyperfine is a command-line benchmarking tool: it times shell commands over many runs and gives you solid statistics — mean, min, max and relative speed — instead of a single noisy number.

+7

lighthouse

GoogleChrome/lighthouse · ★ 30.9K

Lighthouse is an open-source web auditing tool from Google: it runs a page through automated checks, collects modern performance metrics and best-practice insights, and turns them into a scored report.

+6

tracy

wolfpld/tracy · ★ 17K

Tracy is a real-time, nanosecond-resolution frame and sampling profiler for games and other applications, built on remote telemetry so you can profile a running program from a separate viewer.

+4

py-spy

benfred/py-spy · ★ 15.6K

py-spy is a sampling profiler for Python programs: it shows what a running Python process is spending its time on, without restarting it or modifying any code.
