Features
You will find below a list of the key features of web-screenshot:
- Reliability: The system relies uppon a solid and widely reconized engine to display it's pages.
- Standard Compliant: The GECKO rendering engine is one of the most compliant engine when it comes to the w3c standards recommendation.
- Real Time: Unlike our competitor, who just "try" to display an screenshot, and schedule a future take in 3 or 4 days. If the screenshot you asked isn't in the cache, we go directly for it
- Speed: Our servers are backed up on 3 100MB/s lines, assuring you that the web pages will load as quickly as possbile. Typicall time to retrieve a screenshot not in cache is around 15 seconds, not 4 days. And we are sizing our network to allow us to keep it that way.
- Total control: Each screenshot can be cached for a configurable amount of time. You decide how long you want your images to be kept in cache
- No monthly charges: At web-screenshot.com, you don't buy time on our server to do the screenshots. You buy a certain amount of screenshots. Each time you get 1 screenshot, this amount is decreased of 1 unit for a "real time" screen shot, or a fragment of unit (depending of the package you choosed) if the screenshot was in cache.
You are always informed of the units left in your package in your customer area, and you can configure alerts to be sent to you if the level goes bleow a certain level. - It's easy: The implementation of this system can be done without any knowledge of web engineering. Just take a look on our guides pages
- Up to 50% reduction: That's right! Depending of your cache hit ratio, we offer you up to 50% reduction on your subscription. The more hits that are done against our cache, the less it will cost you.
The system compute in real time your cache hit ratio since your last subscription.
Great but, how hard would it be to add this functionnality
It's quite easy actually.
You can integrate it simply by using an <img> tag, like any other image on your site.
The browser of your customers will ask the web-screenshot.com server to serve them the screenshot, and display it in real time.
Or you can have the screenshot realized once on the web-screenshot servers, and stored locally on your server, for serving it quickier
on your customers.
We provide an simple API along some exemples how to do it.
