# Monitoring browser activity

You can monitor and examine each element of a webpage loaded by Safari. This is useful if you want to view the structure of a webpage.

To monitor how webpages load:

1. Choose Window > Activity, and then open the webpage. The Activity window lists each element loaded by the page.

2. To open an element in its own window, double-click it.

To examine the resources of a webpage:

1. Open the website, and then choose Develop > Show Web Inspector. The Web Inspector’s sidebar lists the categories of resources found on the page, such as documents, style sheets, and scripts.

Note:If the Develop menu does not appear in the menu bar, open Safari preferences, click Advanced, and select “Show Develop menu in menu bar.”

2. To view a category, click its disclosure triangle. In each category, click individual resources to view their code and other details.

The sidebar also shows how long each resource takes to load, and how large (in bandwidth) the website is.
