The firstInterimResponseStart
read-only property returns a timestamp
immediately after the browser receives the first byte of the interim 1xx response (for example, 100 Continue or 103 Early Hints) from the server.
There is no end property for firstInterimResponseStart
.
The firstInterimResponseStart
property can have the following values:
- A
DOMHighResTimeStamp
immediately after the browser receives the first interim bytes of the response from the server. -
0
if the resource was instantaneously retrieved from a cache. -
0
if the resource is a cross-origin request and no Timing-Allow-Origin
HTTP response header is used.
The firstInterimResponseStart
and requestStart
properties can be used to measure how long it takes to the browser to receive an interim response after the sending the request.
const request = entry.firstInterimResponseStart - entry.requestStart;
The following example uses a PerformanceObserver
to notify of new resource
performance entries as they are recorded in the browser's performance timeline. The buffered
option is used for accessing entries from before the observer creation.
const observer = new PerformanceObserver((list) => {
list.getEntries().forEach((entry) => {
const request = entry.firstInterimResponseStart - entry.requestStart;
if (request > 0) {
console.log(`${entry.name}: Interim response time: ${request}ms`);
}
});
});
observer.observe({ type: "resource", buffered: true });
The following example uses Performance.getEntriesByType()
, which only shows resource
performance entries present in the browser's performance timeline at the time you call the method.
const resources = performance.getEntriesByType("resource");
resources.forEach((entry) => {
const request = entry.firstInterimResponseStart - entry.requestStart;
if (request > 0) {
console.log(`${entry.name}: Interim response time: ${request}ms`);
}
});
If the value of the firstInterimResponseStart
property is 0
, the resource might be a cross-origin request. To allow seeing cross-origin timing information, the Timing-Allow-Origin
HTTP response header needs to be set.
For example, to allow https://developer.mozilla.org
to see timing resources, the cross-origin resource should send:
