Measure action responsiveness independently of display refresh

Original applied analysis · Practical browser-game engineering · First published 23 October 2026

The practical problem

A high-refresh display is not a substitute for responsive event callbacks when the JavaScript main thread is blocked.

Implementation protocol

Measure pointer timestamps, callback duration and visible presentation in a browser trace. Compare idle performance with animation and third-party scripts enabled.

Worked scenario

A 100-millisecond long task can delay an action even when the screen refreshes every seven milliseconds. Remove the block before increasing decorative animation.

What could go wrong

Do not convert number of animation frames directly into milliseconds.

Acceptance criteria

Report measured distributions for the tested hardware.
