function clear_performance_timings() {
  if (performance === undefined) {
    log("Browser does not support Web Performance");
    return;
  }
  // Create a resource timing performance entry by loading an image
  load_resource();

  var supported = typeof performance.clearResourceTimings == "function";

    performance.clearResourceTimings();
  } else {
    console.log("performance.clearResourceTimings() NOT supported");
