When building high-throughput web applications, microservices, and distributed systems, ID generation throughput (ops/sec), latency, bundle footprint, and dependency hygiene are critical. Below is a Live In-Browser Benchmark Suite that tests 500,000 iterations per algorithm directly on your current device hardware, comparing @readytools/id against standalone single-purpose npm packages.

Benchmark @readytools/id vs Standalone Packages Live
Run a 500,000 iteration race comparing @readytools/id (UUID, NanoID, Smart ID, ULID, Snowflake, CUID2) against standalone npm packages (uuid, nanoid, native randomUUID) directly in your browser.
@readytools/id vs Standalone NPM Packages
Traditionally, developers had to install and maintain 4 to 6 separate third-party packages (uuid, nanoid, ulid, @paralleldrive/cuid2, crypto-random-string) to satisfy different identification requirements. @readytools/id unifies all of them into a single zero-dependency, tree-shakeable library.
| Feature / Metric | @readytools/id | uuid (npm) | nanoid (npm) | ulid (npm) | @paralleldrive/cuid2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| External Dependencies | 0 (Zero) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1+ (Heavy) |
| All-in-One Suite | Yes (14+ Modules) | UUID only | NanoID only | ULID only | CUID2 only |
| UUIDv7 Support | Yes (RFC 9562) | Yes (v10+) | No | No | No |
| Crockford ULID | Yes (Monotonic) | No | No | Yes (Unmaintained) | No |
| Stripe-Style Smart IDs | Yes (smart()) | No | No | No | No |
| Twitter Snowflake (64-bit) | Yes (snowflake()) | No | No | No | No |
| Native Web Crypto API | Yes (Universal) | Partial / Node fallback | Yes | Math.random() fallback | Yes |
| Database Binary (16B) | Yes (toBinary/fromBinary) | No | No | No | No |
| Deterministic Test Mocking | Yes (seed()/resetMocks()) | No | No | No | No |
| Collision Risk Math | Yes (collisionRisk()) | No | No | No | No |
| Tree-Shakeable | Yes (100% ESM) | Yes | Yes | Partial | Yes |
Why Migrate to @readytools/id?
- Industry-Leading Speed: Generates typed Smart IDs, NanoIDs, and UUIDv7s at up to 7–8M ops/sec in modern browser engines, significantly outperforming legacy packages.
- Single Dependency, Zero Supply Chain Risk: Installing individual packages for UUID, NanoID, and ULID multiplies transitive dependency risks and license compliance overhead.
@readytools/idhas zero dependencies. - Universal Web Crypto Performance: Unlike older libraries that relied on legacy Node.js
cryptobridges or unsecureMath.random(),@readytools/idleverages nativeglobalThis.cryptofor hardware-accelerated entropy across browsers, Node 18+, Bun, Deno, and Cloudflare Workers. - B-Tree Index Friendly: Switching from random UUIDv4 to time-ordered UUIDv7 or ULID with
@readytools/ideliminates database page-split fragmentation in PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite, improving write throughput by up to 400% on tables with millions of rows.
