httpstat
Curl statistics made simple and visual
TLDR
SYNOPSIS
httpstat [curloptions] URL_
DESCRIPTION
httpstat visualizes curl statistics in a clear and beautiful way. It wraps around curl to capture and display the time spent in each phase of an HTTP request: DNS lookup, TCP connection, TLS handshake, server processing, and content transfer. This breakdown helps identify performance bottlenecks in web requests.
Because httpstat is a wrapper around cURL, you can pass any cURL-supported option after the URL (except -w, -D, -o, -s, -S which are used internally).
CAVEATS
Relies on curl being installed on the system. Some curl options (-w, -D, -o, -s, -S) conflict with httpstat's internal usage and cannot be passed through. The Python version requires Python 3.
HISTORY
httpstat was created by Reorx and is written in Python as a single-file script with no dependencies. It quickly became popular and inspired implementations in Go, Rust, and Nim. The Go version by Dave Cheney is a standalone binary that does not require curl.
