View Rendered Source
Overview
View source is dead. See how the browser renders a page, not just what the server sends.
A lightweight Chrome Extension that shows you how the browser has constructed (rendered) a page's original HTML into a functioning DOM, including modifications made by JavaScript. An essential tool for web developers using JavaScript frameworks like Angular, ReactJS and Vue.js, and for SEOs to understand how search engines see your pages, especially considering Google's dynamic serving workaround. Differences between raw and rendered versions are highlighted line-by-line showing how JavaScript has modified a page at render time. ---------------------------------------------------- There are 3 sections: * Raw: The source code sent from the server to the browser before the DOM is rendered. The same as you'll see with traditional 'View Source' in the browser (after minor formatting tweaks) * Rendered: The rendered page after the source has been interpreted into a DOM, including any modifications made by Javascript * Difference: The difference between the rendered source and the raw source. Differences occur when JavaScript has modified the DOM. ---------------------------------------------------- Adaptive website? If you serve different source code to mobile devices, emulate this easily with a mobile user-agent checkbox. Dynamic serving for Google? (More info: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/dynamic-rendering) Using Google's dynamic rendering workaround designed for Javascript-heavy sites? Just request the raw source as Googlebot and ensure perfect technical SEO. Works with GatsbyJS and Prerender. ---------------------------------------------------- Problems? Questions? Suggestions?

A great idea with good execution. However there is a small detail that makes it unusable for me. It is called up on the keyboard shortcut "Option+U", which is needed to type an Umlaut on an a qwerty keyboard. So I can't type umlaut anymore, because instead it calls up this tool.

seems cool but it loses the $_POST so it's useless to me.

Hi Suzanne. Thanks for downloading. This is predominantly an SEO tool, and because the $_POST data wouldn't be visible to Google and other search engines (they don't interact with forms) in real life that's what this tool tries to emulate.

Hi, it would be very very useful if there was a checklist of the things I want to compare, so that I don't have to see the whole website code but just the elements I want. For instance, I just want to see differences in <link rel="canonical"> <meta name="robots"> and <title> tag, for the source code and rendered code. If I could see them at a glance, it would make this tool much more useful. Thanks!
