That only changes one signal. A fresh IP does nothing if the TLS handshake still identifies Python, the browser reports a software GPU, or WebRTC exposes another address. Test the client one layer at a time. The tools below cover the path from the network handshake to the rendered browser and its leaks, so you can find the mismatch before changing unrelated code. ## Key Takeaways - Bot detection is layered across the network, JavaScript environment, rendering stack, and privacy leaks. Test each layer separately. - Identify the protection on the target first, then inspect your own client from TLS through WebRTC and DNS. - Detectable clients usually contain contradictions, such as a Chrome user agent with a non-browser JA4 fingerprint or a US proxy with a London timezone. - Scrapfly provides a free tool for each layer. Use a neutral checker as a second opinion. - Once you locate the leak, patch that layer or use a managed stack that keeps the layers consistent. **Get web scraping tips in your inbox**Trusted by 100K+ developers and 30K+ enterprises.

The rest of this article explains what to do with each result instead of repeating the mechanics owned by the individual tools. ## How Do You Test If Your Scraper Is Detectable? Test one layer at a time, from the network handshake up to the rendered page. Anti-bot systems combine signals, so passing an IP reputation check does not prove the TLS, JavaScript, or rendering profile is clean. Use the same target URL, session, proxy, headers, and browser profile throughout the test. Changing three variables between runs tells you that something worked, but not which change mattered. The [browser fingerprinting guide](https://scrapfly.io/blog/posts/how-browser-fingerprinting-works) explains the underlying vectors; this checklist is the debugging order: text```text # 1. Identify the protection on the target. # 2. Test IP, TLS, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3. # 3. Test navigator, browser APIs, and JavaScript engine consistency. # 4. Test canvas, WebGL, GPU, audio, fonts, and hardware signals. # 5. Test WebRTC, DNS, timezone, locale, and performance behavior. # 6. Change one leaking layer, then run the same checks again. ``` A request can pass the network checks and fail after a challenge script reads `navigator.webdriver`. A browser can clear that check and still report a GPU or timezone that does not match its OS and proxy. The ordered walk localizes those failures. ## Which Anti-Bot System Is Blocking You? Start With the Antibot Detector Before testing your client, identify what the target is running. The [Antibot Detector](https://scrapfly.io/products/antibot-detector) Chrome extension reports anti-bot, CAPTCHA, and fingerprinting technologies as pages load, with a confidence score and the evidence behind each result. The extension documentation, checked August 6, 2026, lists 26+ technologies. Its detection covers DOM patterns, network headers and cookies, window properties, and browser API hooks. That is enough to distinguish a Cloudflare marker such as `cf-ray` from a DataDome cookie or a Kasada header without guessing from the shape of the block page. The popup shows a real run against `www.indeed.com`: 17 detections, 74% overall confidence, Medium difficulty, each one scored and tagged separately (Cloudflare Bot Management at 50%, Google reCAPTCHA at 50%).The extension's source code is public under NPOSL-3.0. Its repository and docs state that analysis runs locally with no telemetry. The license limits use to non-profit purposes; for-profit internal or external use requires a separate commercial license. Treat the result as reconnaissance, not a bypass. A vendor match tells you which evidence was observed and where to investigate next. The [anti-bot identification guide](https://scrapfly.io/blog/posts/how-to-know-what-anti-bot-website-uses) covers manual confirmation when the extension reports several technologies or a low-confidence match. ## Network Layer: TLS, HTTP/2, and IP Fingerprint Tools The network layer identifies the client before page JavaScript runs. Your HTTP client normally determines the TLS Client Hello and HTTP/2 settings. The TCP/IP fingerprint belongs to the host that opens the target connection, which is often the proxy exit rather than your local machine. Changing only the user agent repairs neither layer. ### JA3/JA4 TLS Fingerprint Test The [JA3/JA4 TLS Fingerprint test](https://scrapfly.io/web-scraping-tools/ja3-fingerprint) reports JA3, normalized JA3N, JA4, and Scrapfly hashes, followed by the cipher suites, extensions, supported groups, signature algorithms, ALPN, and HTTP/2 fingerprint that produced them. JA3 can change when modern browsers permute extension order, so compare JA3N or JA4 as well as the original JA3 value. A detectable setup claims one browser in HTTP headers while presenting another implementation on the wire. This comparison requires `requests` and `curl-cffi`: python```python import requests as plain from curl_cffi import requests as browser url = "https://tools.scrapfly.io/api/fp/ja3" checks = { "requests": plain.get(url, timeout=30), "curl_cffi(chrome)": browser.get(url, impersonate="chrome", timeout=30), } for label, response in checks.items(): response.raise_for_status() print(label, response.json()["ja4"]) ``` The returned JA4 strings depend on the installed client versions. Compare the two values rather than treating either as a permanent signature. If both requests claim the same Chrome identity, a different profile from the plain client is the cross-layer contradiction that matters. See the [JA3/JA4 TLS fingerprinting guide](https://scrapfly.io/blog/posts/ja3-ja4-tls-fingerprinting-guide-to-detection-and-evasion) for the protocol details and mitigation options. ### HTTP/2 and QUIC/HTTP3 Fingerprint Tests The [HTTP/2 Fingerprint test](https://scrapfly.io/web-scraping-tools/http2-fingerprint) shows SETTINGS parameters, WINDOW\_UPDATE values, priority information, frame sequence, and pseudo-header order. The [QUIC/HTTP3 test](https://scrapfly.io/web-scraping-tools/http3-quic-fingerprint) shows a QUIC-prefixed JA4 value, transport parameters, TLS 1.3 details, and HTTP/3 SETTINGS when the browser and network negotiate QUIC. Lack of HTTP/3 is not automatically a bot signal because networks and proxies can block UDP. The useful result is a contradiction, such as a claimed browser version paired with HTTP/2 defaults from another client, or a session that unexpectedly changes protocol behavior. The [HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 fingerprinting guide](https://scrapfly.io/blog/posts/http2-http3-fingerprinting-guide) covers those comparisons. ### IP Address Info and Device Fingerprint [IP Address Info](https://scrapfly.io/web-scraping-tools/ip-info) reports the public IP, approximate geolocation, ISP, organization, ASN, connection type, and proxy/VPN/Tor classifications. Its page notes that proxy classification is not perfectly accurate, so treat it as evidence rather than a verdict. [Device Fingerprint](https://scrapfly.io/web-scraping-tools/device-fingerprint) analyzes TCP and UDP packet headers. It exposes TTL, window size, MSS, window scale, TCP option order, and an estimated OS profile. A Linux-like packet profile paired with a Windows browser identity is the kind of mismatch worth fixing. When a proxy is in use, treat this as the exit node's packet profile, not proof of the local browser's operating system. For the network mechanics, use the [TCP/IP stack fingerprinting guide](https://scrapfly.io/blog/posts/tcp-ip-stack-fingerprinting-proxy-bypass). ## Browser Environment Layer: JavaScript and Navigator Fingerprint Tools Once JavaScript executes, the page can inspect navigator properties, client hints, storage quotas, media devices, screen data, timezone, MIME types, and API availability. Automation patches often fix one property and leave its related values unchanged. ### Browser Fingerprint and Lies Detector The [Browser Fingerprint test](https://scrapfly.io/web-scraping-tools/browser-fingerprint) assembles those signals into a composite fingerprint. The page stores its collected values in `window.fingerprint`, which lets you inspect the same result from an automated session. Pay attention to `webdriver`, user-agent client hints, platform, plugins, hardware concurrency, languages, permissions, and whether the whole profile describes one plausible device. The [Lies Detector](https://scrapfly.io/web-scraping-tools/lies-detector) narrows the check to contradictions across `navigator`, `window`, and `document`, with results in `window.detections`. This catches the common failure mode where a stealth patch changes the returned value but not the prototype, descriptor, or neighboring property. ### Math Engine and Other JavaScript Signals The [Math Engine test](https://scrapfly.io/web-scraping-tools/math-engine) runs floating-point edge cases whose results differ across V8, SpiderMonkey, and JavaScriptCore implementations. A signature associated with one engine does not fit a user agent claiming another browser family. Do not patch the math output in isolation. Run the engine that belongs to the identity you are presenting. Scrapfly #### Need to bypass anti-bot protection?

[Try Free →](https://scrapfly.io/register)## Rendering and Hardware Layer: Canvas, WebGL, GPU, and Audio Fingerprint Tools Rendering tests expose the GPU, drivers, fonts, operating system, and browser engine underneath the page. These signals need to agree with each other, not merely look uncommon or common on their own. ### Canvas Fingerprint Test The [Canvas Fingerprint test](https://scrapfly.io/web-scraping-tools/canvas-fingerprint) measures font and emoji rendering, 2D canvas output, WebGL canvas output, and DOM rectangles. Run it repeatedly with the same profile. Stable output is normal. A hash that changes between identical runs can expose random canvas poisoning, while a stable canvas that contradicts the reported GPU or fonts exposes an inconsistent profile. For the mechanics of canvas checks and their relation to other vectors, use the [CreepJS fingerprinting guide](https://scrapfly.io/blog/posts/browser-fingerprinting-with-creepjs) rather than trying to infer hardware from one hash. ### GPU, WebGL, and Audio Fingerprint Tests The [GPU test](https://scrapfly.io/web-scraping-tools/gpu-fingerprint) reports the graphics processor, renderer, extensions, capabilities, and WebGPU features. Its [WebGPU reference](https://scrapfly.io/web-scraping-tools/gpu-fingerprint/webgpu) separates adapter features, texture formats, and WGSL features. The [WebGL test](https://scrapfly.io/web-scraping-tools/webgl-fingerprint) adds WebGL/WebGL2 versions, shader precision, extensions, and rendered output. Software renderer strings such as `llvmpipe` or `SwiftShader` can identify a server or virtualized setup. The stronger finding is inconsistency, for example a software-rendered canvas paired with a claimed physical GPU. The [Audio Fingerprint test](https://scrapfly.io/web-scraping-tools/audio-fingerprint) uses OfflineAudioContext processing and reports the resulting hash with sample rate, channel, and architecture-coherence data. It does not record microphone audio. Compare the result with the claimed browser engine and CPU architecture rather than treating one audio value as a universal bot signature. ### Fonts, Screen, and Other Hardware Signals The remaining hardware tools each test one smaller surface: - [Fonts](https://scrapfly.io/web-scraping-tools/fonts) detects installed fonts through canvas measurement. - [Screen Info](https://scrapfly.io/web-scraping-tools/screen-fingerprint) reports resolution, color depth, pixel ratio, and display characteristics. - [Media Codecs](https://scrapfly.io/web-scraping-tools/media-codecs) checks supported audio/video codecs and MIME types. - [DRM Capabilities](https://scrapfly.io/web-scraping-tools/drm-capabilities) checks exposed content-protection support. - [Speech Voices](https://scrapfly.io/web-scraping-tools/speech-synthesis-voices) lists installed voices and language packs. - [Battery Status](https://scrapfly.io/web-scraping-tools/battery-status) checks the Battery Status API, which is unavailable in many browsers. - [Keyboard Layout](https://scrapfly.io/web-scraping-tools/keyboard-layout) reads key mappings. - [Media Queries](https://scrapfly.io/web-scraping-tools/media-fingerprint) reports CSS media matches for display and input preferences. A missing API is not automatically bad. It becomes useful when it contradicts the browser version, OS, or device class presented elsewhere. ## Privacy and Leak Layer: WebRTC, DNS, and Timezone Leak Tools A proxy only helps if all relevant traffic follows it. Test leaks after the fingerprint layers so you can confirm that the browser's network, resolver, and location signals agree with the selected exit. ### WebRTC Leak Test The [WebRTC Leak Test](https://scrapfly.io/web-scraping-tools/webrtc-leak) compares the public IP observed by the server with ICE candidates and TURN feedback. It also reports WebRTC codecs and RTP extensions. If the test exposes an address outside the proxy path, a site can correlate the session with the original network. A timeout needs interpretation. The tool documents that it can mean WebRTC is blocked or that UDP traffic cannot reach the TURN server. It does not prove protection by itself. ### DNS Leak Test The [DNS Leak Test](https://scrapfly.io/web-scraping-tools/dns-leak) sends unique lookups and reports the resolvers that answer. A resolver belonging to the original ISP or location indicates that DNS is leaving through a different path than the HTTP request. Re-run after changing resolver or proxy settings. The tool uses unique lookups, so each run tests the resolver path currently in use. ### Timezone, Locale, and Performance Signals The [Timezone and Locale test](https://scrapfly.io/web-scraping-tools/timezone-intl) reports the IANA timezone, UTC offset, daylight-saving behavior, locale, languages, and Intl formatting. A proxy in one country paired with an unrelated timezone and language profile creates an avoidable contradiction. The [Performance Inspector](https://scrapfly.io/web-scraping-tools/performance-inspector) shows frame timing, jitter, protocol usage, DNS timing, connection reuse, and resource timing. Look for results that disagree with the rest of the session, such as protocol downgrades through a proxy or missing browser timing data. Timing varies with hardware and load, so one run is not a baseline. ## How Do These Tools Compare to CreepJS? Run an independent tester alongside the layer tools. Two implementations reading the same browser and reporting the same values is a stronger result than one passing score. [CreepJS](https://abrahamjuliot.github.io/creepjs/) is open source (MIT) and checks JavaScript tampering and cross-signal consistency. It reads the same browser layer as the Browser Fingerprint and Lies Detector tests, from a different implementation, which is what makes it a useful second opinion. It does not see the network layer, so it tells you nothing about your TLS handshake, HTTP/2 frames, or TCP profile, and it reports a trust score rather than the value that caused it. If its raw properties disagree with the corresponding Scrapfly test, inspect the values rather than choosing whichever score looks better. The [CreepJS guide](https://scrapfly.io/blog/posts/browser-fingerprinting-with-creepjs) covers that tool in depth. ## How Do You Fix a Leaking Detection Layer? Fix the layer that failed, then run the full sequence again. A local patch is valid when it preserves consistency with the user agent, operating system, proxy, and session. It becomes fragile when several layers must change together. At the network layer, browser impersonation libraries can align TLS and HTTP/2 without launching a browser. They do not supply canvas, WebGL, WebRTC, or JavaScript execution. Manual cipher, extension, and protocol configuration also needs maintenance as browser versions change. For a managed path: - **Network and anti-bot challenges:** [Anti-Scraping Protection](https://scrapfly.io/products/web-scraping-api) activates with `asp=true`. The current product pages report 98% bypass success and automatic vendor detection. Treat that as Scrapfly's reported platform metric, not a guarantee for a specific URL. - **Browser and rendering:** [Cloud Browser](https://scrapfly.io/products/cloud-browser-api) runs Scrapium and documents Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium, and Stagehand integrations. The [Scrapium](https://scrapfly.io/scrapium) page reports 4,000+ signals patched at the Chromium source level across 550+ files. - **Whole request pipeline:** the [Web Scraping API](https://scrapfly.io/products/web-scraping-api) combines proxy selection, JavaScript rendering, sessions, and anti-bot handling. First-party SDKs are available for Python, TypeScript, Go, and Rust, plus a Scrapy extension. A managed stack reduces cross-layer drift. Manual impersonation remains the better fit when one cooperative target needs only a network-level adjustment and you want full control of the client. ## FAQ Can web scraping be detected?Yes. A site can inspect IP reputation, TLS and HTTP/2 fingerprints, JavaScript properties, rendering output, network leaks, and request behavior. A clean proxy does not hide contradictions in those other layers. What is the difference between JA3 and JA4 TLS fingerprinting?JA3 hashes ordered fields from the TLS Client Hello and is unstable when browsers permute extension order. JA4 uses sorted components and a readable metadata prefix, making it resistant to that reordering. The wider JA4+ family also defines fingerprints for HTTP, QUIC, TCP, certificates, and other protocols. What does a TLS fingerprint reveal about my scraper?It can identify the TLS implementation or profile that sent the request independently of the HTTP user agent. A browser user agent paired with a non-browser TLS profile is a direct consistency failure. How do websites detect bots in 2026?They combine network identity, protocol fingerprints, browser APIs, rendering signals, leaks, challenges, and behavior. The exact weighting depends on the target and protection, which is why testing each layer produces a better diagnosis than looking for one universal bot flag. Do I need several browser fingerprint testing tools?Use at least one test per layer. A browser fingerprint page cannot see every DNS path, while a JA4 endpoint cannot inspect canvas or WebGL. Add one neutral cross-check before changing the client. ## Conclusion Identify the target's protection, then test the network, browser environment, rendering stack, and leaks in that order. Record the raw result, change one layer, and repeat. That routine tells you whether the block comes from TLS, JavaScript, hardware consistency, or traffic escaping the proxy. The free Scrapfly tool suite covers each checkpoint. If maintaining a coherent profile across all of them becomes the job instead of a debugging step, the Web Scraping API and Cloud Browser provide the managed path. For a smaller job with one leaking layer, keep the manual fix and the test that proves it. ### Anti-Bot Bypass Bypass Cloudflare, DataDome, Akamai, and other anti-bot protections automatically.
