Instead, they evaluate hundreds of indicators to determine whether browser activity resembles genuine user behavior.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1622\" data-end=\"1752\">Understanding these signals is the first step toward building automation that is more reliable, scalable, and resilient over time.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"76ozut\" data-start=\"1759\" data-end=\"1792\">How Websites Detect
