HAR Viewer
Read pasted HAR (HTTP Archive) and list requests with method, status, URL and time.
Reading a HAR without opening a browser
HAR is the format a browser exports the network tab in: JSON with one entry per request, each carrying timings, headers and sizes. Paste the file and the page summarises what matters first — how many requests, how much was transferred, how many errors, which was slowest — then lists the requests.
The summary exists because the question that makes someone open a HAR is almost never about one specific request. It is about the whole: why the page is heavy, what is failing, what is not being cached. The count of 304 responses helps with that last one — they show revalidation happening, which saves bandwidth but still costs a round trip.
An important warning about the content: a HAR holds headers and, depending on how it was exported, response bodies. That means session cookies, authorisation tokens and personal data inside a text file. Before attaching a HAR to a support ticket it needs sanitising — browsers offer an option to export without sensitive content, and it is worth using.
