偵測初始可見度狀態

如要準確監控效能,就必須判斷網頁是否一開始在背景載入 (例如在新的背景分頁中開啟)。在背景載入的網頁通常會延遲轉譯,且指標時間較長 (例如 First Contentful Paint)。找出這些網頁後,即可將其從成效分析中篩除,避免資料失真。

最準確的評估方式是使用 VisibilityStateEntry API,無論指令碼實際執行的時間為何,這個 API 都能可靠地記錄瀏覽器效能時間軸上的瀏覽權限變更。

偵測初始顯示和背景時間

強制:請使用 performance.getEntriesByType('visibility-state') 存取確切的曝光度記錄。請勿只在執行時檢查 document.visibilityState,因為這容易發生競爭狀況。

/**
 * Accurately determines visibility state history using the Performance API.
 */
function getVisibilityInfo() {
  // Retrieve VisibilityStateEntry members:
  const entries = performance.getEntriesByType('visibility-state');
  
  if (entries.length > 0) {
    const firstEntry = entries[0];
    
    // If the first performance entry for visibility is 'hidden',
    // the page was loaded in the background.
    const initiallyBackgrounded = firstEntry.name === 'hidden';
    
    // Find the precise, high-resolution timestamp of when the page 
    // was first backgrounded.
    let timeBackgrounded = null;
    for (const entry of entries) {
      if (entry.name === 'hidden') {
        // entry.startTime is used because it provides the exact browser 
        // timestamp of the visibility change, which is required for precision
        timeBackgrounded = entry.startTime;
        break;
      }
    }

    return {
      initiallyBackgrounded,
      timeBackgrounded
    };
  }
}

備用策略

在不支援的環境中,您可以改為檢查 document.visibilityState 屬性或監聽 visibilitychange 事件。

強制:請務必瞭解,這種備用方法在判斷初始背景狀態時往往非常不準確。由於指令碼可以非同步載入及執行,因此網頁可能會在背景分頁中開啟,然後在指令碼完成下載和執行「之前」,由使用者移至前景。當指令碼最終執行時,document.visibilityState 會同步讀取為 'visible',而您會誤以為頁面是在前景載入,完全錯過其初始隱藏狀態。此外,備用時間戳記缺乏 Performance API 的內部精確度。如果精確度是首要考量,請勿使用備用廣告。

/**
 * Fallback implementation using document.visibilityState.
 * This approach is prone to race conditions if the script loads asynchronously.
 */
function getFallbackVisibilityInfo() {
  // Check the state exactly when this script executes.
  // This will fail to detect an initial background state if the user 
  // foregrounded the page before this script executed.
  let initiallyBackgrounded = document.visibilityState === 'hidden';
  
  // If it's hidden now, we approximate that it was hidden from load (time 0).
  let timeBackgrounded = initiallyBackgrounded ? 0 : null;

  // Listen for future visibility changes to capture if it is backgrounded later.
  document.addEventListener('visibilitychange', () => {
    if (document.visibilityState === 'hidden' && timeBackgrounded === null) {
      // performance.now() is used here as a fallback, but it only gives 
      // us the time the event listener fired, not the precise internal 
      // browser time the visibility actually changed.
      timeBackgrounded = performance.now();
    }
  });

  return {
    get initiallyBackgrounded() { return initiallyBackgrounded; },
    get timeBackgrounded() { return timeBackgrounded; }
  };
}

// Modern implementation using VisibilityStateEntry API.
function getVisibilityInfo() {
  // Code omitted here would be the same modern
  // implementation shown earlier in this guide
  // ...
}

// DO: Detect if the VisibilityStateEntry API is available
if ('VisibilityStateEntry' in window) {
  // DO: If VisibilityStateEntry is available, use it first:
  getVisibilityInfo();
} else {
  // DO: If VisibilityStateEntry is unavailable, fall back to `document.visibilityState`:
  getFallbackVisibilityInfo();
