• abstract = "Client-side Javascript execution environments (browsers) allow anonymous functions and event-based programming concepts such as callbacks. We investigate whether a mutate-and-test approach can be used to optimise web page load time in these environments. First, we characterise a web page load issue in a benchmark web page and derive performance metrics from page load event traces.We parse Javascript source code to an AST and make changes to method calls which appear in a web page load event trace.We present an operator based solely on code deletion and evaluate an existing community-contributed performance optimising code transform. By exploring Javascript code changes and exploiting combinations of non-destructive changes, we can optimise page load time by 41percent in our benchmark web page.",
