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?

View Rendered Source is a Chrome extension that provides a visual understanding of how a browser interprets and renders a page's original HTML into a functioning Document Object Model (DOM). It highlights modifications made by JavaScript and presents how the raw source has been evolved into the rendered source. 'View Rendered Source' is essential for web developers using JavaScript frameworks and SEOs for its capability to emulate diverse user-agents and ensure optimal technical SEO.

Summary

Analyze keywords

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.

A great idea with good execution. However there is a small detail that makes it unusable for me. It is called up on the keyboard shortcut "Option+U", which is needed to type an Umlaut on an a qwerty keyboard. So I can't type umlaut anymore, because instead it calls up this tool.
