Response time for curl commands

In our day today life when we are using CURL commands, It is worth that if we can measure the time it took to respond. In curl , we can write out the time taken for many of the cases.

You can read information about them from the man page of the CURL too.

For the simplicity i would post following here.

curl -w'%{time_total}' -X  GET "https://run.mocky.io/v3/7f8d8e53-b0a3-47bd-b2e6-fda5f449b0be"


you ll get a response like follows.

{"shammi":"jayasinghe"}1.496453 

you can see, it has taken about 1.49 seconds for overall response.


You can read about -w operation and about the flags from man curl page or from [1] which i learnt to use these
