As we develop websites, apps, and services, we make many HTTP requests from the browser to the server. During debugging sessions, replaying HTTP requests can take a lot of manual effort. For example, filling out multiple forms to ultimately hit that submit-button or going through a long wizard.

Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge DevTools can speed up your inner loop by copying recorded HTTP requests as PowerShell, cURL, or Fetch. Check out this video to learn how to use this feature and see it in action:

We often hide images using CSS with "display: none", but this doesn't actually prevent the browser from downloading these images.

We can even use a data-img to prevent images from being downloaded at all and optimize our website speed.
