Visual Breakdown

Without Marker.io

Fig 1: The sample website loads in 909 ms without Marker.io.

With Marker.io Installed

Fig 2: The sample website loads in 1.02 s with Marker.io. The Marker.io JavaScript (shim.js) loads after essential page elements.

With Marker.io and Session Replay Active

Fig 3: The sample website loads in 1.19 s with Marker.io and the session replay feature active. The session replay activates asynchronously after all other elements.


Key Takeaways

  • Minimal Impact: Adding Marker.io to your site increases load time slightly, from 909ms to 1.02s.

  • Efficient Loading: Marker.io's JavaScript file loads only after essential page elements, minimizing its impact on initial loading.

  • Asynchronous Features: The session replay feature is designed to activate asynchronously, further reducing any potential delay.

By following these practices, Marker.io ensures your site maintains optimal performance while benefiting from our tool.
