A browser speed test is a computer benchmark that scores the performance of a web browser, by measuring the browser's efficiency in completing a predefined list of tasks. In general the testing software is available online, located on a website, where different algorithms are loaded and performed in the browser client. Typical test tasks are rendering and animation, DOM transformations, string operations, mathematical calculations, sorting algorithms, graphic performance tests and memory instructions. Browser speed tests have been used during browser wars to prove superiority of specific web browsers. The popular Acid3 test is no particular speed test but checks browser conformity to web standards (though it checks whether a general performance goal is met).

General tests
Peacekeeper
Peacekeeper is a platform-independent benchmark by Futuremark that tests rendering, mathematical and memory operations. It takes approx. 5 minutes for execution and tells the results of other browsers with different CPUs. Since July 2015, it is no longer maintained.
Speed-Battle
Test of JavaScript engine using simple algorithms. Displays results of other visitors (best, average, poorest) with same operating system and browser version. Additional statistics page with browser ranking.
Testdrive
Microsoft maintains a suite of performance-oriented tests, often designed to test and stress JavaScript and rendering performance. These tests are typically designed to highlight IE's performance, but are compatible with other major browsers.
Basemark Web 3.0
Online speed test by Basemark Basemark® Web 3.0 is a comprehensive web browser performance benchmark that tests how well your mobile or desktop system can use modern web-based applications. This benchmark includes various system and graphic tests that use the newest web standards and features. After running the benchmark you will see how your system performed compared to other systems and browsers in Basemark Power Board. Basemark Web 3.0 is a hardware- and platform-independent, supporting virtually all modern browsers, operating systems, and mobile or desktop systems.

3D tests
Wirple BMark
Performance test for HTML5 3D applications. Tests performance in both Canvas3D and WebGL.
Developer suites
Benchmark.js
A robust benchmarking library that works on nearly all JavaScript platforms, supports high-resolution timers, and returns statistically significant results.
Dromaeo
Mozilla test suite based on SunSpider tests. Takes several minutes for execution and displays very detailed information about every single test task.
ECMAScript Test 262
ECMA International is a standardization authority for JavaScript. test262 is a benchmark that composes enormous number of individual tests to test the conformance. The individual test in this suite is developed by member organizations of TC39, the technical committee tasked with standardization of the ECMAScript programming language. Currently test262 suite comprises 10,000+ tests and yet under more tests are scheduled to be included in future.
GUIMark 2
Tests vector, bitmap, and text rendering for both Adobe Flash and HTML5.
JetStream
A JavaScript test suite developed by Apple.
JSLitmus
Tests JavaScript speed.
Kraken
Another JavaScript test suite from Mozilla, released September 14, 2010.
Octane
Google's JavaScript test suite which replaces the V8 benchmark. According to Google, "Octane v.1 consists of 13 tests, 5 new ones and 8 from the original V8 Benchmark Suite." Octane v.2 supplanted v.1, consisting of "17 tests, four more than Octane v1."
As on April 12 2017, Google no longer maintained Octane.
SunSpider
SunSpider is a benchmark suite that aims to measure JavaScript performance on tasks relevant to the current and near future use of JavaScript in the real world, such as encryption and text manipulation. The suite further attempts to be balanced and statistically sound.
Version 0.9 was released by the WebKit team in December 2007. It was well received, and other browser developers also use it to compare the JavaScript performance of different browsers.
Version 0.9.1 was released in April 2010.
Version 1.0 was released in April 2013.
V8
JavaScript test suite by Google, used to optimize Google Chrome web browser. Does not test rendering performance. Superseded by Google's Octane benchmark.
