#  console: timeStamp() static method

**Non-standard:** This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards
track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for
every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations
and the behavior may change in the future.

**Note:** This feature is available in [ Web Workers ](/en-
US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API) .

The **` console.timeStamp() ` ** static method adds a single marker to the
browser's Performance tool ( [ Firefox ](https://profiler.firefox.com/docs/#/)
, [ Chrome ](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/evaluate-
performance/reference/) ). This lets you correlate a point in your code with
the other events recorded in the timeline, such as layout and paint events.

You can optionally supply an argument to label the timestamp, and this label
will then be shown alongside the marker.

##  Syntax

js

    
    
    timeStamp(label)
    

###  Parameters

` label ` Optional

    

Label for the timestamp.

###  Return value

None ( [ ` undefined ` ](/en-
US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/undefined) ).

##  Browser compatibility

BCD tables only load in the browser  with JavaScript enabled. Enable
JavaScript to view data.
