How does the website color extractor fetch colors?
Because browsers prevent cross-origin scripting audits (CORS restrictions), the tool routes your target URL through a secure serverless worker proxy. The proxy fetches the webpage's raw HTML and associated stylesheets, parses all CSS rules (including background-color, border-color, and color attributes), filters out redundancies, sorts colors by their frequency of occurrence, and returns the palette array.
Can it extract colors directly from images displayed on a webpage?
No, our parser reads textual code styles and stylesheet definitions. If you want to extract the color values contained inside a graphic, photo, or logo file, you can take a quick screenshot, drop it into our general Random Color Generator or color converters to sample pixel colors using standard eyedropper interfaces.
Does this tool support password-protected pages or local intranets?
No. Because the scraping worker resides in the cloud, it must be able to resolve the target URL over the public internet. It cannot access localhost routes, internal corporate intranets behind firewalls, or pages requiring custom account log-ins.
Are crawled URL histories cached or logged?
No. We value absolute developer security. Your submitted URLs are processed in transient memory blocks during the single crawl request. No styling logs or domain logs are saved on SimplyUtils servers.
Secure Sandboxed Crawling: Crawl threads execute in temporary serverless guest environments. No tracking cookies, session credentials, or header details are ever exposed or saved.
