Capture quality

Investigate an outdated screenshot

Check the URL, cache indicators, stored files, and the content served to a new session.

Confirm the exact result

  1. Check the target URL, including its path and query string.
  2. Compare the capture timestamp with the time the page changed.
  3. Check any cached indicator in the API response and whether your application reused a previous stored URL.
  4. Download the result again without relying on an image viewer or browser’s previously opened file.

Check the target’s own cache

A CDN or service worker can serve older content to a new visitor. Your signed-in browser can also show a different page version from a signed-out capture. Compare a clean browser session and avoid assuming that every stale image originated in the screenshot service.

Ask support to trace the request

Send the request ID, actual capture timestamp, full public URL, and response metadata. Describe which part of the image is outdated and when you expected it to change.
