HAR

A HAR (HTTP Archive format) file is a JSON-formatted log of a web browser's interaction with a site. It contains a detailed, timestamped record of every single network request and response, including headers and timings. HAR files are an essential tool for advanced performance debugging, as they provide a complete picture of all network activity during a page load.
