}Full page screenshots take longer. Use only when necessary for better performance.
Use WEBP for smaller file sizes, PNG for quality, JPEG for photos.
Always check the 'success' field and handle errors appropriately.
Use delays for dynamic content but keep them as short as possible.
Our documentation covers most use cases, but we're here if you need assistance.
