How do I create a HAR file?

About HAR files

If you are experiencing browser-related problems such as slow display, generate a HAR file to find details about the network requests sent by the browser when the problem occurred.

Creating a HAR file

Chrome

  1. Display the problematic page in Google Chrome.
  2. Right-click anywhere on the page and select [Inspect] from the dropdown menu.
  3. In the panel that appears at the bottom of the screen, click the [Network] tab.
  4. Find the round "Record" button in the upper left corner and verify that it is red. If the button is gray, click it once and it will turn red.

  6. Click the "Clear" button (img src) to erase all existing logs.
