# contentProcess.termination

> A web view that went white because its content process died

Wraps `WKNavigationDelegate.webViewWebContentProcessDidTerminate:`. One
reading each time a web view's content process dies.

Forcing a real content-process death on demand didn't reproduce on the
device this was captured on, so the run below is the other case this
instrument reports on: a `WKNavigationDelegate` that never wrote the
callback at all, named the moment basset sees it — before any termination
has to happen for the gap to be visible.

Real output from `basset request get`, captured against a running app:

```
