What it tracks

  • Route navigation and total visit duration
  • Component lifecycle and render spans
  • Fetch timing and SSR/CSR origin
  • Transition phase spans
  • Composable setup spans (client and SSR)
  • Server phase spans for SSR handling
  • Vue / app / navigation errors attached to the active route trace
  • Navigation abort spans when a route is superseded before page:finish

What to watch for

  • Components with high re-render count and total render cost
  • Positive cross-trace delta (render regression)
  • Slow spans on the route critical path
  • Expensive SSR phases before response is returned

Quick workflow

  1. Open a trace and review Overview for hotspots.
  2. Use Flamegraph and Waterfall to inspect nesting and timing groups.
  3. In Cross-Trace Render Comparison, sort by delta and enable regressions only.
