CHROME TASKR HOW TO

We saw how to open the Chrome task manager and understand each process in this article. I have mentioned all the essential columns from the Chrome task manager that you would ever require to know the reason for improper working. Therefore, I won’t bore you with technical stuff. Developers often use such data to understand if a process is working correctly or not. There are many more columns available in Chrome task manager that shows usage statistics related to image cache, script cache, and more.

The process ID or PID in the Chrome task manager and Windows task manager should be the same for a particular activity. Any operating system or kernel defines different process IDs to various functions for structural flow. This column shows the process ID for each task. In contrast, a static page should not show any amount in the Network section once the loading is complete. Instead, it fluctuates continually as a webpage is using the network.Ī video tab should show a hike once in a while. This column shows how much internet is any page is using in realtime. The entry should disappear once you close a process. Similarly, a page start time indicates when you opened it first. A few extensions begin at the beginning of a session. This value changes each time you restart Chrome. Start timeĬhrome shows the exact time any process is started. Similarly, if you are jumping in between different pages, then Chrome would distribute the time accordingly. If you are continually using a single tab, it will allocate the time to that tab. If you have minimized Chrome, then there should not be any increase in the time. This column shows the amount of time any process is actively using your CPU. Usually, it should be zero for a static page. Otherwise, the column should show minimal CPU usage for inactive tabs and extensions. So, if a browser extension consists of a miner, then it should use more CPU. It shows the percentage of CPU a task is using. You can also use it to identify any rogue extension or malware existing in the Chrome browser. You can decide, depending on this statistic, whether you should close a particular activity or not. A video tab should use more than a tab only consisting of text. It is the memory any task is using to process. The Memory footprint column shows the RAM usage per activity. Similarly, the Guest mode does not show any name. The background processes do not have any profile since Chrome itself governs it. If there are two profiles in your Chrome, it will show the corresponding name in front of the task. Therefore, the Profile column should show your name. If you open a tab or installed an extension, the process belongs to you. This column shows you the user who is running the task. However, details for each subframe is not available. It is available for each page that loads a smaller window like ad banner, third-party plug-ins on a website, various accounts for audio channels, and more. There is also a minor category called subframe. The tabs would show you the page title, the extension process would share the name of the plug-in, and the background tasks contain their names like renderer, GPU process, and more. You can differentiate the tasks into three categories to better understand, i.e., open tabs, extensions, and background process. The inbuilt version names each process and has some more information available at our disposal. However, it does not contain details about each task. When you open the Chrome task manager, it will show you a window containing all active tabs, extensions, and processes.Ĭhrome also shows multiple processes in the Windows task manager. Now that you know how to access the task manager let’s see how we can use it in the best way possible. You can also use the keyboard shortcut “ Shift+Esc” to quickly open it.
