The main reasons for using an application like HTTP Watch are troubleshooting, performance tuning and security checks. It’s mostly useful for webmasters but regular users might find a reason or two to use the software as well, especially when security is a factor.

The main interface reminds of the Firefox Firebug extension which uses a similar interface to display various information. HTTP Watch for Internet Explorer is no where near complex than Firebug. One of its main features is that it displays all connections and files that are transferred when a website or application is loaded in Internet Explorer.

It displays the overall time it takes to load a website and the loading time of each element of the website individually. Webmasters can use those information to optimize the loading time of their websites.
