# Installing the Contexta recorder extension
The Contexta Performance Recorder is a Chrome extension that records a real user
journey in your own browser and turns it into a JMeter script.
## Install
1. Open the Chrome Web Store and search **Contexta Performance Recorder** (or use
the install link on the Site Check landing page).
2. Click **Add to Chrome**.
3. Return to Contexta — we detect the extension automatically.
## What it does
It captures the requests your browser makes as you click through your site,
correlates dynamic values (tokens, ids), and produces a script you can run under
load — or open in Studio for full test plans and live monitoring.
## Privacy
Your password never leaves your browser. The recorder captures what your browser
sees during the journey, nothing else.
