HAR file viewer & analyzer
HAR file analyzer online—open a .har, filter requests, inspect status and timings. Local-first. No signup.
What is a HAR file?
What you can do here
HAR file viewer: Open .har JSON and browse every captured request in a table.
HAR analyzer filters: Search URLs, filter by status class or HTTP method, and jump to failures.
Request detail panel: Inspect headers, query params, timings, and response text previews.
Local-first privacy: Analyze HAR files in the browser—no upload of cookies or auth tokens.
How to analyze a HAR file
Export a HAR
Capture traffic in Chrome/Firefox/Edge DevTools Network, then export .har.
Open it here
Drop the file or paste JSON into the HAR viewer.
Filter and inspect
Search, narrow by status/method, then open rows to read headers and timings.
Tips for HAR analysis
- 01
Filter 4xx/5xx first
Failed API calls often explain the bug before you dig into timings.
- 02
Watch wait vs receive
High wait usually means slow server/TTFB; high receive means large payloads.
- 03
Redact before sharing
HARs can include Authorization cookies—strip secrets before sending to teammates.
- 04
Preserve log when capturing
Enable Preserve log in DevTools so navigations do not wipe the export mid-repro.
Great for
Front-end debugging
Reproduce “works on my machine” network failures from a shared .har.
Performance triage
Spot slow endpoints and heavy assets from a single page load capture.
Support handoffs
Open customer-provided HAR files without installing desktop analyzers.
Why use this HAR analyzer
Local-first
Sensitive HAR contents never leave the browser for this tool.
Free to use
Open and analyze HAR files with no signup.
Built for “har file” jobs
Viewer + filters + detail panel cover the usual analyze-and-debug loop.
No DevTools required to review
Teammates can inspect an exported .har without reproducing the session.
Technical notes
