Questions

Relating to Exercise 1

1. During replay even after the page has fully loaded the script pauses before it moves onto the next requested page. Why does this happen?
2. While testing the script you may not want to sit and wait for these pauses. What could be done to avoid these pauses during replay?
3. Once the replay has executed how could you check that what was replayed matched up with what was captured?
4. Using the client tab on the replay differences and looking at the 2nd request, what is the difference in the request?
