It uses a remote browser to start a Puppeteer session and runs JavaScript code to extract the critical CSS needed for above-the-fold content. We chose Puppeteer because it’s fast to instrument the browser and works well even on JavaScript-heavy sites.
I’m working on a project that provides remote browsers, running on VMs/containers, capable of running Playwright tests (and Puppeteer scripts): https://headlesstesting.com/
We’ve seen a consistent growth of interest in people wanting to use Playwright for browser automation (and testing).
For testing purposes, you can achieve similar results with Selenium IDE. You can export tests and upload these to (our website) https://testingbot.com - supports screenshots and scheduled runs.
Would using gstreamer instead of ffmpeg offer better or worse performance? (Less CPU usage on the sender side?) If anyone has experience with this setup, I’d love to know.
Yeah, that is quite new and great. Playwright also has some recording and test playback features. This extension - which I co-authored - is probably still a bit easier to use. And it does both frameworks.
At https://testingbot.com we use this to install apps, take screenshots and manage devices for our users running tests against our physical iOS devices.
If anyone knows how to improve the graphics performance on Windows, please share. Compared with other hypervisors like Virtualbox or ESXI, there’s no graphics driver for Windows VMs with QEMU.
