Description
“Soft navigations” are JS-driven same-document navigations that are using the history API or the new Navigation API, triggered by a user gesture and modifies the DOM, modifying the previous content, as well as the URL displayed to the user.
w3c/performance-timeline#168 outlines the desire to be able to better report performance metrics on soft navigations. Heuristics for detecting soft navigations can measure their SPA’s performance metrics, and optimize them to benefit their users.
The feature relies on infrastructure for Task Attribution. It's currently defined in the same spec as this feature, but could be considered separately in the future (if more features use it). It also has some overlap with a TC39 proposal called AsyncContext.
Beyond that, the feature's usability relies on w3c/performance-timeline#192, which is currently a WIP.
