type property

NavigationTimingType get type

The type read-only property returns the type of navigation.

You can use this property to categorize your navigation timing data as each of these types will have different performance characteristics. Users going back and forth might experience a faster site than users performing navigation for the first time or submitting forms, etc.

For example, if your site provides new content frequently, you might want to refresh that content using Fetch or similar and avoid users having to hit reload for the entire page all the time. The "reload" type can help you find pages that are reloaded frequently.
