Abstract-WebChar is a tool for analyzing browsers holistically to discover properties of HTML and CSS that lead to poor performance and high energy consumption. It analyzes a large collection of Web pages to mine a model for their performance based on static attributes of the content. An evaluation on two platforms, a netbook and a smartphone, demonstrates that WebChar can yield actionable conclusions for both content developers and browser implementors.
WebChar, a tool for analyzing browsers to discover properties of HTML and CSS that affect performance and power consumption, takes snapshots of a large number of websites and mines the model to produce a ranked list of expensive features in HTML and CSS REF .
