Chrome DevTools: A full JavaScript stack trace to see how resources were loaded with resource initiators
17 Feb 2016
Add the 'Initiator' column to the Network Panel if it's not there already. It will show you how a resource was initiated. Examples include:
- Parser - Maybe a regular
<script>tag in the HTML document - Redirect - A HTTP redirect caused the resource to initate
- Script - Some JavaScript (e.g.
new Image()) initiated the resource - Other - It was another process.
Update - New in DevTools: (tweet) this will now work for images loaded asynchronously. You now get the full JavaScript stack trace.
