I'm trying to understand the initiator
column in Google Chrome Dev.
When I visit facebook.com, in the initiator column I see this output.
When you hold shift
and hover over the requests, the parent of requests will be marked as green. However, in my observed case, the Request X
and Request Y
are not presented as parents, although they are in the initiator call stack.
I have here some understanding questions:
- Am I missing something? Don't the requests in the initiator represent a chain that initialized the corresponding request?
- Is it possible to get the sequences of the URLs in an initiator row If there are multiple entries.
- Another problem there is the sequences seem very strange. For example, the Request
3c64zuZPF4s.js
appears in very different sequences multiple times. Why?
