The CSS Paint API is a function also called "CSS custom paint", and it is possible to generate an image programmed by CSS property.

This will make it possible to reduce the size of the DOM tree and reduce the amount of data transfer considerably compared with the image.


· Server Timing API

This increases the speed of both the client and the server and can obtain performance information close to the actual behavior.
