Traffic & Cookie Tracking Inspector
Overview
Unleash the full power of a network debugger directly in your browser window! The Traffic & Cookie Tracking Inspector is the ultimate on-page companion for anyone who works with the web. It's an essential toolkit built for developers, SEO professionals, digital marketers, and QA testers who need immediate, persistent, and crystal-clear insights into a website's network activity.
Are you tired of the constant cycle of opening DevTools, losing your log on page navigation, and digging through cluttered panels? Our inspector elegantly solves this by docking a powerful, live-updating sidebar directly onto the page. You can now see every HTTP request, track cookies, and debug complex redirect chains in real-time as you browse, without ever losing context.
Why It�s Better: Core Features Explained
-
Live & Persistent Traffic Logging
The moment you toggle it on, the inspector begins logging every resource request for that tab. Unlike the standard DevTools, this log persists as you navigate from page to page within the same tab, allowing you to trace a complete user journey without losing valuable data.
-
In-Depth Request & Response Analysis
Don't just see the URL�understand it. A single click expands any request to reveal a wealth of information, neatly organized into collapsible sections:
- General Details: Instantly see the full URL, HTTP method (GET, POST, etc.), status code (with color-coding for success, redirects, and errors), request type, and the file size of the response.
- Full Headers: View a complete, unabridged list of all Request and Response headers. Perfect for debugging API calls, verifying cache policies, and checking security headers.
- Cookie Inspection: Every cookie sent with a request or set by a response is clearly displayed. Session cookies are automatically highlighted, and expiration dates are shown in a human-readable format, taking the guesswork out of cookie management.
-
Unmatched Redirect Tracking
This is where our inspector truly shines. We go beyond standard tools by detecting and logging multiple types of redirects that are often invisible:
- Server-Side Redirects (3xx): All 301, 302, and other server-level redirects are caught and displayed, showing you the full chain.
- JavaScript Redirects: Our advanced script interceptor detects redirects initiated by `window.location.replace` or `window.location.href`, a common blind spot for many tools.
- Meta-Refresh Redirects: We automatically parse the page's HTML to find and log redirects triggered by tags.
-
Intelligent & Granular Filtering
Don't drown in data. Find exactly what you're looking for with a powerful set of one-click filters:
- Resource Type: Isolate just the Images, Scripts, CSS, or Video files to diagnose performance issues.
- Domain Filtering: Instantly switch between viewing Internal (first-party) and External (third-party) requests. This is invaluable for seeing which third-party scripts are being loaded.
- Cookie Filter: Show only the requests that are setting or sending cookies to debug user sessions or privacy compliance.
- Live Text Search: A simple search bar lets you filter the entire log by any part of the URL, status code, or method in real-time.
-
Effortless Data Export
With a single click, export the entire captured network log�with all your filters applied�to a clean, properly-escaped CSV file. It's perfect for creating performance reports, sharing debugging information with your team, or performing in-depth analysis in Excel or Google Sheets.
Practical Use Cases
-
For the Developer:
You're building a Single Page Application (SPA). Use the persistent log to trace an API call sequence across multiple view changes. When an API call fails, expand it to see the exact request headers your app sent and the full error response from the server.
-
For the SEO Specialist:
A client's site has a migration issue. Use the inspector to click through the old URLs and instantly see if the 301 redirects are firing correctly. Discover a hidden client-side JavaScript redirect that was causing a drop in rankings, something other tools might miss.
-
For the Digital Marketer:
You've just launched a new campaign. Open the inspector, enable the "External" filter, and visit the landing page. Instantly verify that your Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and other marketing tags are firing correctly and not being blocked. Filter by "Cookies" to see exactly which tracking cookies are being set.
-
For the QA Tester:
While testing a new feature, a page element fails to load. Open the inspector to immediately see the red "404 Not Found" error for the corresponding resource request. Copy the full details with one click and attach them to your bug report.
