The identifier read-only property of the PerformanceElementTiming interface returns the value of the elementtiming attribute on the element.
Value
A string.
Examples
Using identifier
In this example an <img> element is being observed by adding the elementtiming attribute. A PerformanceObserver is registered to get all performance entries of type "element" and the buffered flag is used to access data from before observer creation. The value of elementtiming is big-image. Calling entry.identifier therefore returns the string big-image.
<img
src="image.jpg"
alt="a nice image"
elementtiming="big-image"
id="myImage" />
const observer = new PerformanceObserver((list) => {
list.getEntries().forEach((entry) => {
if (entry.identifier === "big-image") {
console.log(entry.naturalWidth);
}
});
});
observer.observe({ type: "element", buffered: true });
