Wtop από Chaitanya Kadu

Browsers by default provide us with powerful DevTools, which are very useful when it comes to analyzing or debugging the websites. There are dedicated panels such as Network, Performance, Memory, and Security, which provide with numerous metrics. But I consistently faced an inconvenience, I had to toggle between multiple panels to get a basic overview. The metrics are scattered and visualization becomes a bit tedious.

wtop surfaces key metrics about the currently active website with a single click, all in a minimal interface. It is built using Plasmo, and supports Chrome, Firefox and Edge browsers. Metrics are organized into five categories: network, memory, metadata, runtime and performance. Metrics are refreshed every 2 seconds.
