The DOM Context Bottleneck

Understanding why raw HTML injection is unsustainable for AI-driven browser automation.

Browser orchestration for AI agents faces a critical hurdle: Context Window Saturation. Modern web applications generate massive DOM trees that quickly overwhelm LLM context limits when serialized as raw HTML.

  • A standard React SPA generates 20,000+ DOM nodes
  • Raw HTML serialization consumes 50k-200k tokens per step
  • Claude's context: 200k tokens; GPT-4: 128k tokens; Gemini: 1M+ but costly
  • High latency, excessive costs, and context overflow errors result
  • Solution: Middleware that translates DOM to condensed semantic representations
⚠️ Warning

Feeding raw page.content() to an LLM is the #1 mistake in browser agent design. A single complex page can exhaust your entire context window.

💡 Pro Tip

The accessibility tree reduces token consumption by 98% while preserving semantic meaning for most automation tasks.
