Number of request different between Playwright and browser, and page size.

Hello,

I don’t understand why i have a number of request different between Playwright with Chromium and my browser.

When I open the Web developer console, in the Network tab I can see 92 requests 1.2 MB transfered.

By with Playwright with Chromium, I only count 30 requests.

Below is my code and I attache a picture of the Web developer console.

I tried to calculate the size of the home page with 2 different methods intercept_response() intercept_requestfinished() I don’t have the same result with theses methods as I have in a real brower. I’m doing it in the wrong way ?

Thanks

######################################## from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright import time

full_size = 0 requests_nb = 0

def intercept_response(response): global full_size, requests_nb size = len(response.body()) print(response.headers_array()) print(response) full_size += size requests_nb += 1

def intercept_requestfinished(request): global full_size, requests_nb sizes = request.sizes() print(request.url + " " + str(sizes)) full_size += sizes['responseBodySize'] + sizes['requestHeadersSize'] requests_nb += 1

page.remove_listener("requestfinished", intercept_requestfinished)
