HttpWatch integrates with Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge to provide deep, consistent visibility into network activity directly within the browser. There is no need to configure proxies or rely on external tools. As you interact with a web site, HttpWatch records and displays a complete, structured log of network requests and responses alongside the page, including interactions with the browser cache.
Each request can be examined in detail, with full access to headers, cookies, query strings and timing data. Information is presented in a clear and stable format that makes it easier to analyse performance issues, diagnose problems and understand exactly how a page loads, even across complex browsing sessions.
Modern web applications depend on technologies such as compression, HTTPS encryption and chunked transfer encoding. HttpWatch works seamlessly with these technologies to provide an accurate, in-browser view of network activity without altering or interfering with traffic.
HttpWatch has two components; an extension used to capture, analyse and save network traffic within the browser, and a standalone log file viewer known as HttpWatch Studio, designed for reviewing, sharing and replaying recorded sessions.
Captured sessions can be saved and shared, allowing issues to be reproduced and analysed consistently across teams and environments.
Two editions of HttpWatch are available:
