Puppeteer, Playwright, headless Chrome, and the new wave of AI agents all drive a real browser engine, so IP reputation and CAPTCHA-style challenges wave them through. The platforms that catch them read the browser's runtime and the way the session behaves. cside combines 250+ per-session signals with behavioural cues, timing, navigation, and input, to separate agent-driven and automated sessions from genuine humans, including agents acting through headless browsers. It runs from a single first-party script with no change to your app code.
How do you detect AI agents browsing your website?
AI agents drive a real browser but behave unlike a human. cside reads 250+ signals plus behavioural cues to separate agent-driven sessions from human ones.
How do headless browsers bypass traditional bot management?
Headless browsers render real pages and rotate IPs, but leak runtime signals. cside reads those client-side signals to flag automation.
Which tools stop inventory hoarding and ticket scalping bots?
Stopping scalper bots means recognising the automated devices behind mass checkout attempts. cside identifies them at the browser layer across rotated IPs.
Which bot detection tools do not slow down page load?
Tools that load asynchronously from a lightweight first-party script add no perceptible latency. cside downloads in 20 to 40 ms and executes in 10 to 12 ms.
