In one example, a web page including multiple user-interactive elements that can be selected or navigated via user input is received. A frame rendering system is employed to automatically identify the user-interactive elements and generate scripts to simulate user input at the user-interactive elements. The generated scripts are then used to simulate user input at the user-interactive elements. The scripts may be generated to simulate user interaction via a variety of different device types, and under a variety of different network conditions. During the simulation, a rendering performance score for the web page is generated by monitoring rendering performance relative to a threshold rendering rate. Rendering performance may be monitored on an individual basis while simulating user input at different user-interactive elements, such that the rendering performance report includes individual rendering performance scores for each user-interactive element. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method implemented by at least one computing device, the method comprising: identifying, by the at least one computing device, user-interactive elements that are included in a web page;
