title: Headless automation of IE-browser, tracking site rendering times
body: <p>I'm need to monitor my sites render times for common tasks (Login, Search etc.). I need something automated that can mimic a users actions on I.E. and be able time how long a page takes to render.<br>
  Example automated execution:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>1) open headless IE browser</p>
    
    <p>2) go to <a href="http://google.com" rel="nofollow">http://google.com</a></p>
    
    <p>3) type "stackoverflow"</p>
    
    <p>4) press submit button</p>
    
    <p>5) start timer</p>
    
    <p>6) wait for results page to fully
    render </p>
    
    <p>7) stop timer</p>
    
    <p>8) Close IE</p>
    
    <p>9) record results</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I need this to run as a scheduled task while the server, without the user logged in. </p>
  
  <p>I have been searching for something to help me do so. Anyone have any experience with this type of thing or know of anything that can accomplish this?</p>
