How Does It Work?
WebLOAD uses a proxy-based recorder so there was no need for any configuration. It recorded all my web activity – both HTTP and HTTPS. Notice that the recorder skips the web page resources (such as CSS, js, images, etc) since WebLOAD identifies these during the playback and brings them automatically.
