PerformanceTiming: navigationStart property

Deprecated: This feature is no longer recommended. Though some browsers might still support it, it may have already been removed from the relevant web standards, may be in the process of being dropped, or may only be kept for compatibility purposes. Avoid using it, and update existing code if possible; see the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to guide your decision. Be aware that this feature may cease to work at any time.

Warning: This interface of this property is deprecated in the Navigation Timing Level 2 specification. Please use the PerformanceNavigationTiming interface instead.

The legacy PerformanceTiming.navigationStart read-only property returns an unsigned long long representing the moment, in milliseconds since the UNIX epoch, right after the prompt for unload terminates on the previous document in the same browsing context. If there is no previous document, this value will be the same as PerformanceTiming.fetchStart.

Value

An unsigned long long.

Specifications

This feature is no longer on track to become a standard, as the Navigation Timing specification has marked it as deprecated. Use the PerformanceNavigationTiming interface instead.
