Editorial interest 83/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free tool that analyzes HAR recordings or meters named API traffic locally to show how much delivered data was repeated.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-29 issue.
For
Developers measuring repeated API traffic and HAR captures
Worth noticing
The page says chunk size shifts its sample repeat rate from about 81% at 36-byte chunks to 41% at 2 KB.

Field notes

The browser route accepts a HAR recording, while the CLI can inspect a saved HAR or proxy named hosts through localhost; the page says traffic streams through untouched and a local copy is metered. Its sample readings are explicitly percentages, not savings, and the displayed results vary with chunk size (about 81% at 36-byte chunks versus 41% at 2 KB). The page says the meter's code, tests, hashing, and chunking method are public, and flags AWS SigV4-signed requests as unsupported.
