Very good tool for frontend profiling **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rohit S. | Lead Performance Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2019 **What do you like best about HttpWatch?** In performance testing as part of left shift we have to do frontend profiling along with server side performance testing. For frontend profiling i always recommend using https watch since it gives us great length of details for page rendering like css details, jss details, images, videos, and then the tool even shows how they are loaded. **What do you dislike about HttpWatch?** Currently for each step we have to record the details seperately in http watch. It would be great if there is a feature where in in the tool itself we can have a create and end transaction feature wherein after each step we can end current transaction and start a new one. **What problems is HttpWatch solving and how is that benefiting you?** As stated earlier as part of left shift approach we have to start working on improving the application performance as early as possible. And to do that one way is to improve the application rendering time. To do so http watch is a great help. ### 11.
