What is HAR File Analyzer?

A HAR file is a JSON-formatted archive exported by browser DevTools that records network requests, responses, transfer sizes, timings, and headers for a page load. This analyzer reads a selected HAR file entirely in the browser and turns that dense capture into a quick performance summary.

  • Slow requests: Ranks the requests that consume the most elapsed time so an API, script, image, or third-party dependency is easy to identify.
  • Domain grouping: Groups activity by host to reveal which first-party and third-party domains contribute most requests, transferred bytes, and failures.
  • Local processing: The browser reads the file you choose; the HAR data is not uploaded to a server.

Why use HAR analyzer?

A network export may contain hundreds of requests and is difficult to inspect line by line. Sorting by duration, response status, and transfer size narrows a performance or reliability investigation to the requests most likely to matter.

When to use HAR analyzer

Use it after exporting a HAR from browser DevTools, while diagnosing a slow page load, auditing third-party activity, or reviewing failed API calls. HAR files can contain cookies and authorization headers, so redact sensitive values before sharing one.

How to use HAR analyzer

Export a HAR from the Network panel and choose it here.

  1. Export the capture: In browser DevTools Network, save the captured requests as a HAR file.
  2. Select the HAR file: Choose the file from your device; it is parsed locally.
  3. Review the summary: Start with failures, largest transfers, slowest requests, and domains with the most total time.

Key features

  • Failure detection: Highlights 4xx, 5xx, and failed requests.
  • Transfer analysis: Totals response sizes and reports large individual requests.
  • No upload: Keeps a selected trace in the browser.

Examples

Slow API response

GET /api/search - 2,400 ms
Listed in Slowest requests with status, size, URL, and duration.

Failed asset

GET /assets/app.js - 404
Counted as a failed request and grouped under its domain.
