The performance at which Microsoft Edge renders webpages has always been a top priority for us. Recently, we have enabled Profile-Guided Optimizations (PGO) for Macs with M2, which has shown up to 20% improvements in key browser benchmarks. PGO is a compiler optimization technique that uses profiling to improve program runtime performance. We're also excited to announce that our Speedometer score is now over 500 on Macs with M2 (our tests were run on a Mac Mini with M2).


- Speedometer 2.1 determines the responsiveness of a browser, so it's a good benchmark to use for overall website performance.
- MotionMark 1.2 is a graphical browser test suite that measures the rendering performance of complex webpages that have lots of graphics & animations, such as Excel Online.
- And JetStream measures how quickly browsers can start & run code. It's a good measure for how responsive the browser is on code-intensive sites.
