Profiler Questions (SOLVED)

I’m relatively new to the profiler. At 60 FPS, most of my frames are “red.” Is this something to be concerned about? Does anything look particularly slow here? I’m having a tiny bit of jittering, but I haven’t decided on its source yet. Does the 19ms at the top-left mean that my frames are taking around 19ms total? If so, that should mean I’m capable of achieving ~52 FPS, right?

Additionally, not sure why Engine.SoftwareVsync is on the list at 15 ms since I have vsync disabled.

If your actual CPU use is not high then probably nothing to worry about. The ms time is a little high.

Here’s web profiler from one of my big projects

Try to see what the web profiler shows with these settings.

The web profiler and its parts are explained here: Profiling in Defold

“The number on the left hand side shows the max time spent in a frame in the current sample data.”

Not sure here. Do you have frame cap at 0? The combinations and what those mean can be seen here:

But what can be said from looking at the selected frame is that most of the time the engine is spent “idle” waiting for the next frame. This is good. None of the scopes take any amount of time you currently need to worry about.
