# Testing and Debugging WebSockets


How to test browser WebSocket connections, inspect frames, and think about proxy-related failures.

This guide is the canonical guide page for related tools on ilham.dev. It should grow into practical explanations, caveats, examples, and references instead of creating one thin article per utility.

## Related tools

- [WebSocket Frame Parser](/tools/websocket-frame-parser/) — Decode a raw WebSocket frame from hex and explain its opcode, length and payload.
- [WebSocket Tester](/tools/websocket-tester/) — Open a WebSocket from the page, send frames and watch what the server sends back.

## Notes for future edits

- Keep the guide reusable and factual.
- Link to personal posts only when there is a real incident, measurement, migration, or lesson.
- For sensitive inputs, mention whether the related tool runs locally in the browser and warn against pasting production secrets without understanding the trust boundary.
