Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a benchmarking system for measuring performance of a client-side application, e.g., a web browser, in processing an application, e.g., rendering a web page of a social networking application. The benchmarking process is executed in multiple modes, e.g., a record mode and a replay mode. In the record mode, the benchmarking system warms up a proxy server by storing request-response pairs between a client device and an app server in a cache of the proxy server. In the replay mode, the benchmarking system replays the requests to obtain the responses from the cache of the proxy server and records various metrics that indicate a performance of the client-side application in processing the responses, e.g., rendering the web page.
