To help us troubleshoot issues with your access or any problems with our services, we may ask you to provide a HAR file. This guide will show you how to generate a HAR file using various browsers.
What is a HAR File?
A HAR file logs all network activity in your browser and can help us identify issues like slow load times, missing elements, or failed requests. By sharing the HAR file, you give us insights into how your browser is interacting with our service, helping us better understand and resolve the issue.
