View Rendered Source
View source is dead. See how the browser renders a page, not just what the server sends.
What is View Rendered Source?

It highlights modifications made by JavaScript and presents how the raw source has been evolved into the rendered source.

Summary
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.
