Which “browser engine” does it use to create the screenshot?

  • i.e. Does the generated image represent how the website looks in
    – Chrome?
    – FFox?
    – IE?

    And which OS
    – Windows or Mac
    (font rendering can be different depending on OS)

    ALSO is it possible to set the geographic zone of IP address used to take the screenshot?
    We have some clients who want a different page rendered for some countries VERSUS others.
    Would be nice to be able to prove that to them.

    Hi – this uses a third party service so I don’t know the technology behind it, but I believe it uses Chrome for rendering.

    I don’t think it will allow what you want regarding geolocation – but potentially you could make the change yourself.

    I haven’t tested this but if it were me I would try appending something like ?COUNTRYCODE to the end of the url to make the image url unique per location. This would require some coding on your side, since you would need to know the location you want to display, and then append it to the url. May not be straight forward but the plugin code is really simple so should be easy to fork and make it work the way you want.
