What are the most useful curl opts for debugging and performance? or How do you optimize your request

`-v` is great, but `--verbose --trace-time` adds timestamps to each line. Super useful for slow requests.

For retries, `--retry-delay 2` spaces ’em out. No hammering the server like a maniac.

And `-b`/`-c` for cookies? Essential for scraping or anything session-based.

Fun fact: `curl --version` shows all the features your curl supports. Handy for weird opts.
