Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited device and resolution presets

   Pageres has a predefined set of devices and resolutions, which may not cover all specific needs or new devices.

2. 02

   No built-in support for headless browsers

   Pageres relies on external tools like PhantomJS or Chrome, which can lead to compatibility issues and increased setup complexity.

3. 03

   Performance limitations with complex websites

   Capturing screenshots of heavily dynamic or resource-intensive sites can result in incomplete renders or timeouts.

4. 04

   Lack of detailed documentation for advanced usage

   The official documentation focuses on basic use cases and lacks comprehensive guides for more complex scenarios.

What it does well
