Overview
Network debugging identifies connectivity issues, latency problems, and data transmission errors that impact application performance.
When to Use
- Slow loading times
- Failed requests
- Intermittent connectivity
- CORS errors
- SSL/TLS issues
- API communication problems
Quick Start
Minimal working example:
yaml
Chrome DevTools Network Tab:

- Waterfall: Timeline visualization
Timeline Breakdown:
- Queueing: Waiting in queue
- DNS: Domain name resolution
- Initial connection: TCP handshake
- SSL: SSL/TLS negotiation
- Request sent: Time to send request
- Waiting (TTFB): Time to first byte
- Content Download: Receiving response
