If you would like our scanner to behave like a specific device, you can enable this in Deep Scan Settings. This is useful if you have a mobile site that differs from the standard site.
1. Click on your scan profile, go to Scan Profile Settings -> Deep Scan Settings
2. Scroll all the way down to How should the scanner be recognizable?
Here, you can choose between the following device options:
- Detectify (this is the default option and behaves like a regular browser)
- Google Chrome Latest
- Google Chrome
- Samsung Galaxy S8 (Android)
- iPhone
- iPad
- Nintendo 3DS
Having a Nintendo 3DS-specific site might be unlikely, but hey, why not!
How it works
For the listed devices we will spoof the following:
- User-agent string
- Screen size
If there is anything else you think we should spoof/change, please shoot us an email at support@detectify.com!
We will not emulate:
- the HTML parser
- the javascript engine
The goal here is to trick your website into thinking we are, for example, a mobile device, not to emulate a phone and how it will render HTML.
