Cloud recorder vs the Chrome extension

# Cloud recorder vs the Chrome extension There are two ways to capture a journey. ## Chrome extension (your browser) Install once, record in your own browser. Best for devs who want a JMeter script and full control, and for journeys that need your real logged-in session. ## Cloud recorder (our browser) No install — we drive a real browser in the cloud and you watch and click via the screen. Best for a quick capture with nothing to install, and it's what Site Check uses to walk your site. ## They flow into the same place Both produce the same recording shape and feed the same report and load-test engine — capture once, then audit it through Site Check or load-test it through Studio.
