Example showing usage of memory tab
Understanding memory allocation and changes over time within a web application can be tracked with the help of snapshots found in the Memory tab of the Chrome Developer Tools. They provide a means of capturing the heap’s (memory space’s) state at particular times while the program is running. This example shows how to capture screenshots of memory usage and analyze them further:
Step 1: Open the memory tab (in the developer console) by simply pressing Ctrl + Shift + i
Step 2: In select profiling type, choose the first option Heap snapshot
Step 3: Click on the Take Snapshot button (it will take some time to gather information)
Step 4: Now in the tab you will see a list of all memory-using applications associated with the web page and the browser, click on any of them to reveal more detailed information about each process.
Memory Tab in Google Chrome Browser
Developers may find out how much memory a web page uses by using the Memory tab in Google Chrome’s Developer Tools. It offers a thorough overview of memory-related information, including specifics on DOM nodes, event listeners, JavaScript memory usage, and more. This tool helps developers detect memory leaks, inefficient memory utilization, and wasteful resource usage, all of which improve the stability and speed of online applications.
