CPU browser test v1 (cpu-bench@1) and load check

Measures how many fixed work units per second this browser can run on one Worker and on all Workers. It is a browser test, not a game benchmark.

On phones and tablets heat, battery drain and OS throttling make results unreliable. The load check asks for explicit confirmation there.

Loading… (JavaScript required)

How to use

  1. Close other heavy apps, plug in a laptop, and keep this tab in front (a hidden tab cancels the test).
  2. Press start. Each of the single-worker and multi-worker modes runs a 0.5 s warm-up and a 1.5 s window, 5 times. The median of the 5 is the result; the spread (CV, min–max) is shown.
  3. Optionally save the result to a PC, and compare with your earlier runs. The “load check” button is separate: it keeps the CPU busy for 5 minutes by default (max 10) and checks results against known values.

Worked example

Example (illustrative values): single worker 280 units/s, 8 Workers 1,900 units/s, CV 1.2%. The sentence reads “This PC ran 280 units/s in CPU browser test v1 (Chrome 130, Windows, plugged in)”. One unit is one pass of an integer hash loop, a float matrix loop and an LZ-style compression loop.

Limits

  • Results are for this browser and OS at this moment (power plan, background load and thermals matter). They are not CPU rankings, game FPS, or a combined score.
  • Worker count is navigator.hardwareConcurrency, which browsers may under-report or round. Efficiency/performance cores are not distinguished.
  • The kernels are JavaScript typed-array code, so JIT and browser versions change the numbers. The method is version-locked as cpu-bench@1; any change becomes a different version.
  • The load check ends with “no computation mismatch was detected within the time” at best. It is not a stability certificate and does not replace a proper stress test.
  • Safety: heavy load heats the PC and drains laptop batteries. Stop with the stop button if it gets hot or the fan is loud. Nothing runs automatically or in a hidden tab.

Your inputs and results stay in this browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
