Tools for debugging/analyzing web sites

I've found out a couple of weeks ago a nice Firefox add-on, "tamper data", that allows tampering with out coming http requests (POST, GET). The add-on captures even captures requests coming out of Flash which I honestly did not expect.

This little tool can help debugging web pages on development/production and help testing web sites for security issues.

I can also recommend great tool called HttpWatch which helps analyze the way your web pages load. This is usually the tool for finding out performance related issues. This is much like the freeware "fiddler" only much faster and intuitive imho.
