Online service providers may operate a rendering service for generating and providing substitute web content information for rendering substitute web content instead of authentic web content. The rendering service may obtain web content information for the authentic web content in response to receiving a request for web content. The rendering service may use the web content information to generate the substitute web content information. The substitute web content information is useable by the computing device to generate substitute web content that includes one or more visual elements resembling resource objects of the authentic web content. The visual elements are rendered, as a result of processing by the computing device, as image content instead of interactive objects.

Substitute web content generation for detection and avoidance of automated agent interaction

Described are techniques for automatically grouping webpages based on common layout characteristics without requiring presentation of the webpages. The relationships between HTML elements or other types of nodes in a webpage may be used to generate aliases for each node. Each alias represents a particular relationship or combination of relationships between the node and one or more other nodes. This process may be repeated for each webpage in a website, then the matching aliases between webpages may be determined. Based on the matching aliases between webpages, the webpages that share a large number of common aliases may be grouped into a cluster of webpages having common layout characteristics.
