SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you inspect browser network behavior after real user interactions so you can catch failed requests, duplicate calls, slow endpoints, and privacy issues before they become production bugs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Failure Detection: Identify 4xx and 5xx responses, CORS problems, and other network errors that affect app behavior.
  • Performance Review: Flag slow requests, oversized payloads, duplicate API calls, and preflight storms that waste time and resources.
  • Security and Correctness Checks: Look for sensitive data in URLs, missing auth on protected endpoints, and unexpected third-party hosts.
  • Use Case: After changing a checkout flow, exercise the page in Cursor's browser and audit the network log to verify that saves, validations, and background requests are all healthy.

Quick Start

Use the network-request-auditing skill to navigate the page in Cursor's built-in browser, perform the key user actions, and then review the network requests for failures, slow calls, duplicates, and suspicious payloads.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit browser network requests for failed or slow API calls?

To audit browser network requests, you navigate API-heavy pages in Cursor's built-in browser, perform interactions, and review the network log to detect 4xx/5xx responses, slow endpoints, and duplicate calls.

Can I detect CORS errors and duplicate API calls during interactive browser testing?

Yes, you can detect CORS errors and duplicate API calls by exercising user actions in Cursor's built-in browser. The network audit reviews the traffic log to flag security issues, duplicate calls, and preflight storms.

What is browser network traffic auditing and when do I need it?

Browser network traffic auditing inspects network behavior after real user interactions to catch failed requests, duplicate calls, slow endpoints, and privacy issues. You need it when changing API-heavy pages like a checkout flow to verify saves and validations are healthy.

Does network-request-auditing work with Cursor's built-in browser for API monitoring?

Yes, network-request-auditing works within Cursor's built-in browser. It applies after navigation and interactive testing, capturing a snapshot of network requests to report on method, URL pattern, status, timing, and security issues.

How to check for sensitive data in URLs and missing auth on protected endpoints?

To check for sensitive data in URLs and missing auth, navigate your page in Cursor's browser and perform key actions. The network audit reviews the request log to flag suspicious payloads, unexpected third-party hosts, and missing authentication.

Why are my API calls failing after navigating an API-heavy page in the browser?

API calls might fail due to CORS problems, 4xx/5xx responses, or network errors. By auditing browser network traffic after interactive testing, you can review the method, URL pattern, and status of requests to identify the exact failure point.
