Webpage redirection time

[ABHIJEEEEET]

Hi all,

I want to calculate time consumed in redirecting from 1 webpage to another webpage.
For Example:
1) I am using Facebook in Google Chrome browser.
I have shared 1 link on my Facebook profile like below:

http://www.webdeveloper.com/

2) When I click on this link from my Facebook profile, then this website will open in new tab.

3) I want to calculate time difference in miliseconds or microseconds between below two events:
First Event: Time of clicking link "http://www.webdeveloper.com/" from my Facebook profile.
Second Event: Time of completely loading webpage of "http://www.webdeveloper.com/".

Thank you in advance.

you cannot do that - since it would involve coding in both pages.

Gits, Why not design the link to pass the current time to the linked website?

since the linked page cannot do anything with it - except you have access to code in it, which i doubt it is the case in the OP. you cannot even access the new window's onload event - which is due to the same origin policy - that will help to avoid cross-site-scripting issues.

IS there nothing in the "HTTP-referer" header that could be used?
It is my understanding that a webserver at least can determine something along these lines:

{IP.Address - - [12/Dec/2012:10:36:26 -0600] "SomeURLInfo" 200 12120 "-" "Browser (Operating System) (etc)}

Couldn't that time be used?

to determine the time from calling a link until the linked page is fully loaded u would need to determine the timestamps of:

1: the click of the link - that's easy, use an onclick-event and u are fine.

2: the onload-event of the linked page - that seems impossible when the page is from another domain - unless you can code something there. you cannot (and should not even try to) inject any javascript-code to another site - at least not without more advanced techniques that i dont want to explain here.

in case - the direction of actions is like that i described - AND you can access the code of the 'linked' page - then its simple of course - just pass the click-timestamp with the URL for example - and receive it in the page - use the onload-event and calculate the time-difference.

Injecting any code into another site's page wasn't where I was going at all and I apologize if that was the impression given.

I was just looking at the fact that most web browsers tend to send or make available a lot of information about where you were, when you were there, what OS, etc... There are a lot of "security" websites that demonstrate what they can pull from your computer. GRC is one such...

However, it appears that even that information isn't available within this context.

the problem is in the requirement of: 'Time of completely loading webpage'

this is the point where the page's onload-event is fired - and that is just a browser-event. that is not propagated back to the server - so this information isn't available there without any coding. to make that worse - in case you have a page with frames - then the above requirement would imply that all pages in the base-page are loaded first and then you have to measure the time - so that would require coding in all sub-pages to synchronize the events.

there is no need to apologize - you didn't give the impression that you suggest to inject code to a page - i was only saying that without that, it is not possible. and to implement the code legally would require legal control of that page of course.

Thank you for your responses.
I decided to go ahead with firebug for Firefox and Developer Tools for Chrome.
My problem is solved.
