Personally, what I find most useful is network-level tracing - if I
want to know what my web server's doing, I'll telnet to it (or, more
likely, use my MUD client) and look at exactly what it's sending; and
if I want to know what a browser's doing, I'll do the same (since my
MUD clients allow me to run them "backwards", listening rather than
connecting).

But that isn't for everyone, I'm aware of that.
