Performance Comparison of Text Based Game Prototypes Using GTmetrix

Abstract

Access to the internet and the advanced of technology allow people to experience in playing a game, not limited to their game console or through a PC, but also through their gadget like mobile-phones. Based on our initial study, a text-based game prototype has shown its potentiality as an alternative media to enhance youth literacy. The prototype has been developed in web-based platform that allow users to play this game through their mobile-phone. This paper describes an extend study to explore on how well the performance of text- based game prototype, when it was run online through a mobile device. For this purpose, a testing tool, named “GTmetrix” is used to review the performance of mobile device that run two different text-based game prototype platforms, which are Quest and Ink Platforms. For further comparison, this paper also included additional test scenario to see the performance of these two prototype platforms through a desktop device. These testing was conducted through different mobile network speeds (2G/3G/4G). Two different test approaches, PageSpeed and YSlow, were used to analyze the performance. Based on the results, it can be concluded that both prototype platforms are still compatible to be played through mobile devices, with Ink platform perform slightly better compare to the Quest platform in several test setting.

Specifications and Performance of The Website-Based Self-Assessment Nurul Application Using GTmetrix

“…SI has a value of 2.2s, which is classified as "Longer than recommended" (Muriyatmoko & Aziz Musthafa, 2022). LCP has a value of 2.3s, classified as "Longer than recommended" (Manuaba, 2021). TTI scored 2.1, which is classified as "Good -nothing to do here" (Zamora et al, 2023;Safira & Jati, 2023).…”

“…LCP is a performance metric that measures how long it takes for the largest "content element" (e.g., hero image, heading text, etc.) on your page to become visible within your visitor's viewport, with criteria "Good -nothing to do here" if LCP time is 1.2s or less, "OK, but consider improvement" if LCP time between 1.2s and 1.6s, "Longer than recommended" if LCP time between 1.6s and 2.4s, and "Much longer than recommended" if LCP time higher than 2.4s (Manuaba, 2021). TTI is a performance metric that measures a page's load responsiveness and helps identify situations where a page looks interactive but isn't, with criteria "Good -nothing to do here" if TTI time is 2.4s or less, "OK, but consider improvement" if TTI time between 2.4s and 3.2s, "Longer than recommended" if TTI time between 3.2s and 4.5s, and "Much longer than recommended" if TTI time higher than 4.5s (Zamora et al, 2023;Safira & Jati, 2023).…”

Evaluation of Labuhanbatu Regency Government Website based on Performance Variables

“…Previous research (Dawis & Setiawan, 2022) has implemented GTmetrix as a tool in website performance trials with detailed results and provides optimization recommendations for a website (Silalahi et al, 2021). GTmetrix also makes it very easy for users to do testing because it has a userfriendly graphical interface, performance testing can be done with different browsers, and GTmetrix is free (Manuaba, 2021). Likewise, what is done by comparing two websites, the results from GTmetrix provide accurate information about the performance level and loading time of the website (Suliman, 2020).…”

Studi Perbandingan Vue Component Library/Framework: Vuetify, Buefy, Bootstrapvue Menggunakan Gtmetrix

“…tampilan laporannya begitu detail sekaligus memberikan rekomendasi bagaimana cara untuk meningkatkan performa website yang di uji. selain itu GTmetrix juga dapat melakukan test menggunakan beberapa platform browser seperti Chrome/Firefox dan dapat disetel untuk beberapa perangkat dan kecepatan internet yang berbeda (2G/3G/4G) [4].…”

“…penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Manuaba. IBK dalam jurnalnya yang berjudul "Performance Comparison of Text Based Game Prototypes Using GTmetrix" membahas mengenai performa website game berbasis text [4]. Penelitian lain yang dilakukan oleh Susanto.…”
