What is a HAR File/Log?

HAR (HTTP Archive format) is a JSON-formatted archive file format that logs a web browser's interaction with a website. The log itself will contain all the requests and responses between the browser and the site allowing our support engineers to debug an issue by seeing exactly what you were experiencing.

Why Should I Save a HAR Log?

In any case of performance slowdown where our Customer Support team cannot reproduce the issue you reported, it is helpful to provide us with your browser network request and response log to help us get to the root cause of the problem.
