Integrations - Creating an HTTP Archive (HAR) File for Troubleshooting

Overview

When identifying performance issues, such as bottlenecks and slow load times, and page rendering problems it is sometimes necessary to understand the network requests that are generated by the web browser. A HAR file records this information along with timing information for each resource.

Note: Before sending the HAR file to Reward Gateway's Support Team, ensure that you remove any sensitive information (such as passwords) using a text editor.
