Description Tisza Gergő 2014-09-12 21:36:25 UTC 
[[mw:Extension:ImageMetrics]] will be used to collect additional data about image performance and (eventually - not implemented yet) about how users interact with media.

Data is collected from user behavior and browser APIs like Resource Timing. All data is sent back to the server via EventLogging and will be consumed by external applications like Limn; the server-side part of the extension is trivial. On the client side, the data is used for no other purposes than to compose an EventLogging data object.
Comment 1 Chris Steipp 2014-09-14 21:11:51 UTC 
Nothing looks concerning to me in this. I'm assuming wgImageMetricsSamplingFactor will be kept at a sane level. If it's too high, eventlogging may get overloaded, but even that shouldn't bring the site down.
