Debug performance for web apps

The Flutter framework emits timeline events as it works to build frames, draw scenes, and track other activity such as garbage collections. These events are exposed in the Chrome DevTools performance panel for debugging.

You can also emit your own timeline events using the dart:developer Timeline and TimelineTask APIs for further performance analysis.
