Hi,
I want to make a bot to simulate traffic for websites or SERPs etc. Browsers with GUI consume whatever amount of memory and CPU. To reduce it, I've been reading about headless browsers.
Is there some things I should keep track of or have to manipulate other than normal GUI browsers? Things like IP address, browser fingerprints etc. should be handled nevertheless in any kind of browser. But having never used headless browsers, I wonder if there is something extra to consider.
Please share if you have ideas regarding this. Thank you.
Edit: Do we actually need to implement some kind of mouse movements per web page and simulate actual mouse clicks? I'm not sure if JavaScript's click() does work like a natural user click. Do websites even track mouse movements to conclude a traffic's nature? That might be unnatural for a website to do.
