How can I see a specific page's memory consumption of a browser ?

Question

Hi,

What way or which profiler tool I should use to see a specific web page's memory consumption?

Does it make a difference if it belongs to a TAB in an individual browser window?

Thanks

Answer 1

As far as I know, only Chrome supports this directly. Open a tab to about:memory and you can see the memory usage of each tab.

Answer 2

In chrome every tab is a separate process, so there you can just compare the memory consumption of an empty tab against the memory consumption of a tab loaded with the page in question.

For other browsers this does not work of course. IE9 will have tabs in seperate process too I think though.

Answer 3

Each browser is going to be different.

Google Chrome, for instance, has a Task Manager, SHIFT+ESC, that will itemize each tab, and each tab is actually a separate process in Windows Task Manager.
