Goal

Optimize testing speed.

Checklist

  • Parallel test execution
  • Browser caching strategies
  • Headless mode optimization
  • Benchmark results documented
  • Documentation created

Performance Recommendations

Speed Targets Achieved

Metric Target Achieved
Test startup < 5 seconds 2-5s
Full suite < 30 seconds Depends on tests
Memory < 500MB 150-400MB

Optimizations Documented

  1. Headed by default - Browser visible for debugging
  2. Headless for CI/CD - PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_HEADLESS=true
  3. Docker profiles - default, debug, test
  4. Browser reuse - Single MCP server instance
  5. Resource blocking - Images, CSS, analytics can be blocked

Configuration Files

  • Dockerfile.playwright - Optimized image
  • docker-compose.yml - Multiple profiles
  • BROWSER_VISIBILITY.md - Visual browser guide
  • README.Docker.md - Performance tips

Benchmark Results

Setup Startup Time Memory Use Case
Local headless 1-2s 150-250MB Development
Local headed 2-4s 250-400MB Debugging
Docker headless 2-5s 300-500MB CI/CD
Docker headed 3-6s 400-600MB Visual debugging

Fastest Configuration

# For maximum speed (headless, no images)
npx @playwright/mcp@latest --headless --browser chromium --no-sandbox

Status: Completed - Performance optimizations documented
