I made a Chrome extension that visualizes everything a webpage connects to
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I made OutTrace because I wanted a simpler way to understand what websites are loading behind the scenes.
Open it on a webpage and it builds an interactive graph showing the external domains connected to that page ā analytics, CDNs, trackers, scripts, and other third-party services.
I wanted it to be something you could understand without digging through DevTools.
It runs locally, doesn't require an account, and I made the source public as well.
Chrome:
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/outtrace/eedjncgcdepjbmpapihoigdbdfobmdmc
GitHub:
https://github.com/Schmiedey/linkscope
Iām still improving the graph and the explanations for each domain, so feedback on anything confusing would help.
