Page Loaded in Seconds Scripts

hcweb · February 25th, 2004, 02:41 PM

Hey everyone.
I'm looking to add a "This page loaded in x amount of time" script on a particular portion of my site. However, I'm unfamiliar with what is needed to display this, what component(s) are used, or even what the proper name is. Can someone point me in the right direction for some information?

Thanks!

nStartTime = Timer

'Do stuff on the page

nElapsedTime = Timer - nStartTime

Response.Write("Page generated in " & nElapsedTime*1000 & " milliseconds.")

A Timer? Hmmmm, isn't that one of those cool classes you modern ASP.NET guys have available out-of-the-box?

Us poor "classic ASP" souls have to resort to old components, unfortunately. For example, the one located here: http://www.alphasierrapapa.com/IisDe.../profiler2.zip

Cheers,

ASP.net? Is that one of those new fangled gadgets?

:o)

Thanks for the response guys. This will give me something to go with!

VBScript Timer() function returns you the current number of seconds since midnight. I use it all the time in my ASP scripts for really simple "this page loaded in ..." code.

In fact, the Snitz forums uses it too...

Code:

    function StopTimer(x)
        EndTime = Timer

        'Watch for the midnight wraparound...
        if EndTime < StopWatch(x) then
            EndTime = EndTime + (86400)
        end if

        StopTimer = EndTime - StopWatch(x)
    end function

Oooops. My bad. Thought you were referring to the Timer class in .NET.

Wasn't really aware of the Timer function, and didn't know it was so easy to use....

Oddly enough, I have yet to find an equivalent function in .NET because of the Timer class. Had to use regular timestamps and more complicated math.

Aren't there special Performance Counter classes that do all the hard work?
I can't recall their names (haven't really worked with them), but I believe there is something that already does this for you.

There may be, I'm not familiar with any in VBScript. I think that is really the limitation, VBScript doesn't have a whole lot of that type of advanced stuff from what I have found.
