Procedure

1. Open an Incognito Window

• Close all existing Incognito tabs and windows in Google Chrome.
• Open a new Incognito window by pressing Ctrl + Shift + N (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + N (Mac).

2. Open Developer Tools

• Click the More actions menu (⋮) in the upper-right corner of Chrome.
• Navigate to More tools > Developer Tools.
• Select the Network tab.

3. Start Network Recording

• Ensure that Chrome is recording network activity:
  • If the record button 🔴 (red circle) is grayed out, click it to start recording.
• Check Preserve log to ensure logs are not cleared when navigating between pages.
• Click Clear network log (🚫) to remove any existing logs.

4. Reproduce the Issue

• Go to the webpage where the issue occurred.
• Perform the necessary steps to replicate the issue.
