PerformanceMark

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers.

PerformanceMark is an interface for PerformanceEntry objects with an entryType of "mark".

Entries of this type are typically created by calling performance.mark() to add a named DOMHighResTimeStamp (the mark) to the browser's performance timeline. To create a performance mark that isn't added to the browser's performance timeline, use the constructor.
