What is Headless Browser?
A browser that does not have a visual display and processes data by loading web pages entirely through code.
Overview
It is a type of browser where only the code structure is processed without running the visual interface (buttons, images) that you normally see when browsing the internet. Since it does not render a visual interface, it runs very fast and consumes fewer computer resources.
How it works
Developers use automation tools to give this browser the command 'go to this site and get this data'.
Where it is used
It is used for automated testing of websites and data scraping operations.
Commonly confused with
Stealth Headless Browser
Frequently asked questions
