MDN / console: time() static method

The console.time() static method starts a timer you can use to track how long an operation takes. You give each timer a unique name, and may have up to 10,000 timers running on a given page. When you call console/timeEnd() with the same name, the browser will output the time, in milliseconds, that elapsed since the timer was started.

See Timers in the [` {{APIRef(“Console API”)}} {{AvailableInWorkers}}
