Data Storage

Results Format

Results are stored in results/validation_results.json with the following structure:

{
  "metadata": {
    "created": "2025-06-20T01:00:00.000Z",
    "lastUpdated": "2025-06-20T01:30:00.000Z",
    "totalProcessed": 150,
    "totalValid": 120,
    "totalInvalid": 30
  },
  "results": [
    {
      "id": "result_1234567890_abc123",
      "domain": "example.com",
      "cleanedDomain": "example.com",
      "timestamp": "2025-06-20T01:15:00.000Z",
      "http_status": 200,
      "https_status": 200,
      "ssl_valid": true,
      "response_code": 200,
      "is_valid": true,
      "processing_time": 1250,
      "screenshot_path": "/screenshots/example_com_2025-06-20T01-15-00.png",
      "screenshot_url": "https://example.com",
      "validation_details": { /* detailed validation info */ },
      "screenshot_details": { /* detailed screenshot info */ }
    }
  ]
}

Processing State

Current processing state is maintained in results/processing_state.json:

{
  "isProcessing": false,
  "currentIndex": 150,
  "totalDomains": 4412,
  "startTime": "2025-06-20T01:00:00.000Z",
  "lastProcessedDomain": "example.com",
  "processedDomains": ["domain1.com", "domain2.com"]
}

Validation Criteria

A domain is considered valid if:

  1. Either HTTP or HTTPS responds with status code 200-299 to /ip.php endpoint
  2. If HTTPS works, the SSL certificate must be valid (Chrome-like validation)

Testing

Run the test script to verify all modules are working:

node test.js

Configuration

Environment Variables

  • PORT - Server port (default: 3000)
  • MAX_CONCURRENCY - Maximum concurrent domain processing (default: 3)
  • BATCH_SIZE - Number of domains per batch (default: 10)
  • SCREENSHOT_FORMAT - Screenshot format: 'png' or 'jpeg' (default: 'jpeg')
  • JPEG_QUALITY - JPEG quality percentage: 10-100 (default: 75)
  • MAX_SCREENSHOT_WIDTH - Maximum screenshot width in pixels (default: 1920)
  • MAX_SCREENSHOT_HEIGHT - Maximum screenshot height in pixels (default: 1080)

Parallel Processing Settings

  • Max Concurrency: Number of domains processed simultaneously (1-10 recommended)
  • Batch Size: Domains processed per batch before delay (5-50 recommended)
  • Delay Between Batches: Milliseconds to wait between batches (1000-5000ms)
  • Delay Between Tasks: Milliseconds to wait between individual domains (100-1000ms)

Timeouts

  • Domain validation: 10 seconds per request
  • Screenshot capture: 30 seconds per page
  • SSL handshake: 10 seconds

Parallel Processing Settings

  • Max Concurrency: Number of domains processed simultaneously (1-10 recommended)
  • Batch Size: Domains processed per batch before delay (5-50 recommended)
  • Delay Between Batches: Milliseconds to wait between batches (1000-5000ms)
  • Delay Between Tasks: Milliseconds to wait between individual domains (100-1000ms)

Screenshot Optimization Settings

  • Format: 'jpeg' for smaller files, 'png' for pixel-perfect quality
  • JPEG Quality: 60% (maximum compression) to 90% (high quality)
  • Dimensions: Limit max width/height to reduce file sizes
  • Compression: Enable smart compression for large pages

Performance Tuning

  • Low Resource Systems: Use maxConcurrency=1, batchSize=5, JPEG quality=60%
  • High Performance Systems: Use maxConcurrency=5-10, batchSize=20-50, JPEG quality=75%
  • Rate Limiting Concerns: Increase delays between tasks and batches
  • Storage Optimization: Use JPEG format with 75% quality (30% smaller than PNG)

Logging

Logs are stored in the logs/ directory:

  • application.log - Main application logs
  • domain-validation.log - Domain validation specific logs
  • screenshot-capture.log - Screenshot capture logs
  • data-manager.log - Data management logs

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

  1. "CSV file not found"

    • Ensure sites_ssl.csv exists in the root directory
    • Check that the file has a website_cad column

  2. "Browser initialization failed"

    • Puppeteer may need additional dependencies on some systems
    • Try running: npm install puppeteer --force

  3. "Permission denied" for screenshots

    • Ensure the application has write permissions to the screenshots/ directory

  4. High memory usage

    • The application processes domains sequentially to manage resources
    • Consider processing in smaller batches for very large CSV files

Performance Tips

  • The application includes built-in delays between requests to avoid overwhelming target servers
  • Screenshots are only captured for valid domains to save resources
  • Browser instances are reused and properly closed to prevent memory leaks
