JavaScript: how to calculate page traffic use?

Question

Is it possible to calculate how much traffic my page uses? I know I can see it in Developer's Tools, but would it possible to get it in plain JavaScript?

I know I could read content-length header for AJAX requests, but this isn't something I'm looking for. I need to get all traffic that my page generates. Could put it into an iframe as well, it that helps.

Thanks.

This is done by the browser and I don't think it is possible to detect by the JavaScript. It would be out of scope. I guess? — Praveen Kumar Purushothaman, Mar 29 '16 at 10:18

Perhaps you should explain *why* you need this, then alternatives may be suggested. — Alex K., Mar 29 '16 at 10:20
I need this for my clients. They want to know, how much traffic are their HTML5 ads consume. — Aleksandr Makov, Mar 29 '16 at 11:16

What does Performance.memory have to do with the question of traffic use? It's about the JavaScript heap. – Stefan Reich Jul 30 '21 at 21:15
