Real-time performance diagnostics inside Chrome DevTools.
Track FPS, memory, 1% lows, stutters — all in a smooth, interactive overlay.

(Mock-up placeholder: drop in your real canvas overlay screenshot)
- 🎞️ Real-World FPS — not synthetic
- 📉 1% Lows — capture real dips in framerate
- 📋 Stutter Detection — % of frames < 20 FPS
- 🧠 Heap Memory Usage — via
performance.memory - 📊 Canvas Overlay UI
- Raw FPS (green), Smoothed (yellow), Heap (red)
- Label overlays for key metrics
- 🎛️ Interactive Controls
- Click + drag to move
- Double-click to pin
- Shift + F toggles visibility
- Slider adjusts smoothing lag
- 💾 Persistent Layout — remembers position across reloads
- 🧹 Chrome DevTools Panel — runs in its own tab
git clone https://github.com/yourname/fps-monitor-devtools.git
cd fps-monitor-devtools
npm install
npm run build
Then:
- Go to
chrome://extensions - Enable Developer Mode
- Click Load Unpacked
- Select the extension folder
Open DevTools → Performance HUD tab
Built around a modern modular architecture:
FPSMonitor.js— tracks and emits performance snapshotsSmoother.js— handles geometric smoothing with min/maxOverlayPlotRenderer.js— draws dynamic canvas overlaycontroller.js— connects UI, hotkeys, slider, dragging
All bundled via esbuild into a single minified file for blazing-fast DevTools use.
Compared to stats.js, this tool adds:
- 1% Lows
- Stutter rate %
- Memory metrics
- Adjustable smoothing
- Full DevTools integration
- Draggable, pinnable overlay with persistence
