/** | |
* As the simple HTML document is loading, the script measures the time it | |
* takes to reach the given 'readyStates' of the DOM and of the whole | |
* document. | |
* | |
* document.readyState documentation: | |
* - http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/dom.html#current-document-readiness | |
* - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/document.readyState | |
* | |
* window events documentation: | |
* - http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/#event-type-load | |
* | |
* @version December 2013 | |
* | |
* Example output: | |
* | |
* Changing the state to: interactive | |
* stateInteractive: 7.311ms | |
* stateDOMLoaded: 7.377ms | |
* Changing the state to: complete | |
* stateComplete: 96.937ms | |
* stateWindowLoad: 97.153ms | |
* | |
* Note that starting the timer is a blocking operation so the timers in | |
* this example aren't started at the same moment but rather one after | |
* each other which in turn lowers the precision of the measures. | |
