different environments and configurations). Keep in mind when comparing HTTPWatch outputs that there are many additional factors which may come into play resulting in the slow performance, some of which cannot be controlled (ie. It may be useful to compare multiple HTTPWatch outputs over time from multiple users and/or browsers to get an overall picture of the performance in the environment. Below is a sample from the attached document that we will use to analyze the output. The columns which will be particularly useful in performance measurement are Time, Method, Result, Type, and URL. HTTPWatch output will show multiple columns: Started, Page Title, Warnings, Comment, Time, Sent, Received, Method, Result, Type, URL. For comparison purposes, it is useful to export as a CSV.īelow is a sample of a typical HTTPWatch output from both Firefox and Internet Explorer when loading Analyzing HTTPWatch output The HTTPWatch output can be reviewed within the console in your browser, or can be saved and exported. This will cause multiple entries to be added to the output in the bottom half of your browser. This can be done by refreshing the page (if you are currently on it) or navigating to the page manually. Start HTTPWatch by right clicking on the page and selecting 'HTTPWatch ' such as 'HTTPWatch Basic'. This will ensure that you are not loading pages from cache and the load times are accurate.Ģ. Clear your Browser Cache (CTRL-SHIFT-DEL in both Firefox and Internet Explorer). Below are some basic instructions for using HTTPWatch.ġ. Follow the instructions on the HTTPWatch Download site for details.įor complete instructions on using HTTPWatch, navigate to the HTTPWatch Help Documentation. HTTPWatch must be downloaded and installed into your browser. Similar tools for Chrome include Chrome Developer Tools, Speed Tracer or Fiddler but may not have the same exact capabilities. In our Browser Performance example, we used the HTTPWatch output from both browsers to compare overall browser performance with a variety of user functions. One particularly useful aspect of the tool for performance investigation is its ability to be installed in both Internet Explorer and Firefox. HTTPWatch HTTPWatch allows one to inspect and monitor CSS, HTML, JavaScript and Net requests in any web page. This analysis page will provide some instruction to using HTTPWatch in an effort to compare browser performance between Internet Explorer and Firefox.
