How can i get memory usage of browser when loading webpage

Hi,

Currently, i can only see CPU and Bandwidth below waterfall model. Is there way to get memory usage?

Thanks,
Vikram

No, at least not in the UI. Through the API you can get the private bytes delta from the start to the end of the test but I don't recommend looking there. Overall browser memory use will tell you nothing useful because browsers will tend to optimize for speed and cache a bunch of things internally in RAM until there is a reason to discard them (like memory pressure).

Thanks for the information @pmeenan.
