Automate webpage health checks using a two-tier approach: run a lightweight headless script for quick error capture, then use Playwright CLI for mid-complex interactions. This captures console and network errors while blocking unnecessary resources for fast validation.

Yes, you can take screenshots during headless browser checks. The Tier 1 validation script runs quick health checks on a given URL and can optionally capture screenshots to provide visual verification of the page state.

The best way to validate page loads lightly is using a headless browser check with resource blocking. This approach reduces false positives by capturing only console and network errors, providing fast feedback on page availability without full rendering overhead.

Yes, interactive form input and navigation are supported. The Tier 2 approach utilizes the Playwright CLI to enable interactive navigation and form input, handling mid-complex workflows beyond basic page availability validation.

A two-tier approach provides flexibility: Tier 1 runs quick, lightweight headless checks for immediate error detection and screenshots, while Tier 2 leverages Playwright for deeper interactive navigation when mid-complex workflow validation is required.

Headless checks are designed for lightweight, fast validation to speed incident response, but complex workflows requiring extensive user interaction may need the Tier 2 Playwright CLI rather than the basic Tier 1 script for accurate results.
