How can I use IE8 Developer Tools to inspect network traffic?
Specifics:
I need to test if files have loaded or if they have loaded slow. In Firefox/Firebug I can do this by using the NET tab.
Restrictions:
I cannot install additional software, so answers in Examine http response headers in IE8 are of no use to me. :( I am debugging issues on restricted computer systems and do not have admin rights.
Rumors?
I have read that there is no way, at all, to inspect network traffic using IE8 Developer Tools, is this true?
Thanks.
In http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2010/04/22/ie9-developer-tools-network-tab.aspx it says:
The developer tools include some new capabilities and improvements
over the tools in IE8:
A new tab for inspecting network traffic.
So this is impossible in IE8 (without installing additional software, that is).
That's that.

I have some performance issue in an web app developped on a secured enterprised network. Internet connection is not available.
And since some version of Firefox, the performance tool send me to something like "https://profiler.firefox.com/from-browser" that, of course, is not accessible.
How can I analyse performance issue with no internet connection ? (Offline tool or an anlternative to firefox performance tool ?)
Is there a way to export the network data to say a pcap, from the Firefox Developer Tools Network tab? I haven't seen an option, but this would be really useful in sending issues to others.
Lately I have been having trouble with debugging using Chrome dev tools. Once I open dev tools and start using the javascript debugger or the HTML inspector, every action will take at least a few seconds. Another developer with the exact same machine does not experience similar problems. I have tried reinstalling chrome and installing Chrome Canary, but the problem still remains the same. It did not use to be like this, and it is driving me mad, so that is why I am reaching out to the stack overflow community. Does anyone know any common reasons why dev tools would be performing so badly on a decent computer? Are there any settings I can try disabling, etc?
I am running Windows 10, and the client-side technology stack I am working with is based on React and Webpack with hot reload.
I need tools to test page load speeds for websites which are hosted locally on a LAN, and which are not accessible via WAN connections. In the past I was using Firefox with YSlow and Page Speed which helped me a lot, but since the latest Firefox version (in my case 39.0) YSlow is buggy and Page Speed disappeared from Firebug.
Any new tools which can be installed to do these performance tests?
I'd suggest Yslow from the command line if you're finding the plug in buggy. I'd also suggest Google Chrome Developer tools as an alternative to Firebug.
Try using firebug
plugin for Firefox , see the Net tab.
or
inspect element (Ctrl+shift+i for windows) , the Network tab on Google Chrome
I'm at my wits end right now trying to get a website working in IE7-9, the issue I'm having is getting text-shadow to appear in a decent matter. I've been using the 960 grid system so changes are very minimum, I've been checking changes with IE Netrender. However lately IE Netrender has been having issues so I can't test the layout in a timely fashion.
I did have VM Ware set up but I'm really tired of reactivating my Windows copy and installing a separate image for each version of the browser. I don't have Windows 7 for IE9 as well. I'm looking for a free option. I've tried searching but everything seems outdated.
So my question is, how does everyone test their site for IE7-9?
The IE Developer Tools let you set IE7 and IE8 modes on IE9, so you can get 98% testing with one version.
There are some issues that don't crop up there though, so its a good idea to do a quick real browser check at the end.
MS has free VMs you can download with the different versions of IE on them. I'm not sure if you can run them on a Mac though.

By having a Windows license. Perhaps not the answer you're looking for, but there's no such thing as a free meal. The only truly guaranteed method of testing a site in Internet Explorer is to actually use it in Internet Explorer, be it in a virtual machine or on a real PC. Spoon used to have an Internet Explorer virtualization web app, but that has since been removed at Microsoft's behest.
