Setting Highlighting Rules

Web developers can analyze the performance of their web sites and identify the performance bottlenecks with Highlighting, one of the distinguishing features of HTTP Debugger.

For each downloaded web page, image, script, etc. HTTP Debugger calculates its size and downloading time, thus enabling you to analyze and isolate static/dynamic web pages (PHP, ASP, Java, Perl, ColdFusion, Python, etc) that are performing slowly and need optimizing for speed, and visualize large web pages that need dividing up.

For example, you can create a highlighting rule to mark in green all web pages that take less then 0.01 sec to download, and another highlighting rule for marking red web pages that are downloaded in more then 3.0 sec. Similarly you can create highlighting rules for marking web pages that are less then 10 Kb or are more then 100 Kb.

HTTP Debugger stores all your highlighting rules in the registry. This means that your rules stays consistent between program runs and you do not need to create them each time you start the program. To temporarily disable highlighting unmark the corresponding checkbox on the toolbar.

To apply your newly added/updated rules to all existing data in the HTTP Debugger, simply click on 'Apply Now' on toolbar.
