Basemark Web 3.0 is a comprehensive web browser performance benchmark that tests how well your mobile or desktop system can use web based applications. This benchmark includes various system and graphic tests that use the web recommendations and features. After running the benchmark you will see how your system performed compared to other systems and browsers in Basemark Powerboard. Basemark Web 3.0 measures real-world client-side performance to detect browser bottlenecks.
Versatile
Basemark Web 3.0 is a hardware- and platform-independent, supporting virtually all modern browsers, operating systems, and mobile or desktop systems.
Web 3.0 Features
-
Low-level JavaScript calculations (ECMAScript), designed to test the core of JavaScript
-
Graphically intense content, e.g. WebGL 2.0, that uses mainly GPU of the device
-
Tests built with popular JavaScript frameworks (e.g. jQuery, Angular, and Backbone), and Document Object Model (DOM), as well as popular CSS features
-
Basemark Web 3.0 will also contain a Conformance Suite, which doesn’t contribute to overall score, but tests the browser’s conformance.
”Basemark has a long history in creating industry-leading benchmarks for mobile devices, virtual reality systems and browsers. Basemark Web 3.0 is a major milestone in developing trustworthy benchmarks for modern browsers, including WebGL.

Corporate version
We offer a special version of Basemark Web 3.0 to corporate customers. They can select if they want to submit results to Power Board database and have more instruments to adjust other benchmarking parameters.
Feel free to contact us if you’re interested in purchasing corporate license and we’ll tell you more.
Community Mode
The Community Mode can be activated easily via specific URL, and after this Basemark Web 3.0 can be controlled only via URL calls. All results and details are written to the browser console in machine-readable mode, so this version is the most suitable for automated bots. All tests are run on screen the same way as in Free and Corporate Version.
https://web.basemark.com/?mode=community activates the the Community Mode and turns the UI to a simplified version. This URL also activates console logging which contains details about the current benchmark configuration, system and information for changing different configurations
https://web.basemark.com/?mode=free exits the Community Mode, activates the normal UI, and deactivates the console.
Terms of Use
Basemark® Web 3.0 is available in “Community Mode” for open-source projects. The Community Version can be used solely in non-commercial use to detect open-source project defects. Using the Community Version for any other purposes is strictly forbidden. Commercial use always requires a Corporate Version.
Conformance tests
Basemark Web 3.0 also contain a Conformance Suite, which doesn’t contribute to the overall score. It tests the browser’s conformance.
https://web.basemark.com/?conformance=1
turns Conformance Tests ON
https://web.basemark.com/?conformance=0
turns Conformance Tests OFF (default)
Suite selection
https://web.basemark.com/?suite=0
Selects All suites (default)
https://web.basemark.com/?suite=1
Selects Core Suite only
https://web.basemark.com/?suite=2
Selects Graphics Suite only
https://web.basemark.com/?suite=3
Selects Generic Suite only
Battery tests
https://web.basemark.com/?battery=1
turns battery test ON
Basemark Web 3.0 will loop all tests until device battery is exhausted or user/operating system terminates the browser. When the battery test mode is turned on, the console will have inside current configuration line
Battery: ON, Results URL: http://web.basemark.com/result/?<UID_generated_by_Basemark_Web_3.0>
NOTE: This URL needs to be saved, because that is only way to access Battery run results after battery is exhausted!
https://web.basemark.com/?battery=0
turns the battery test OFF (default)
Running the test
https://web.basemark.com/run/ – starts testing.
Parameters “battery”, “conformance”, and “suite” can be combined in one URL call using “&” as a separator.
For example, resetting Basemark Web 3.0 to defaults can be done via URL:
