Generate a HAR File

HAR (HTTP Archive Format, .har) is an archive file format with JSON data that stores session data over many browser types (e.g., Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc.). The HAR file saves the information of all web requests made with the browser.

The HAR file allows impact.com solution engineers to investigate whether the tracking tag on your webpage is firing correctly in your browser during the conversion path.
