PerformanceMark

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since ⁨September 2017⁩.

PerformanceMark is an interface for PerformanceEntry objects with an entryType of "mark".

Entries of this type are typically created by calling performance.mark() to add a named DOMHighResTimeStamp (the mark) to the browser's performance timeline. To create a performance mark that isn't added to the browser's performance timeline, use the constructor.
