"Does Selenium Headless Really Improve Performance Compared to Normal Mode?"

Hey folks, been using selenium headless for a while now, and I gotta ask—does it *actually* speed things up? Like, sure, no GUI means less overhead, but sometimes it feels like the difference isn’t huge.

Ran some tests last week, and headless was faster... but only by like 10-15%. Not the game-changer I expected.

Also, noticed some sites behave weirdly in headless mode. Captchas, lazy-loaded content, you name it.

So, what’s your take? Is selenium headless worth the hype for performance, or are we just trading minor speed gains for extra headaches?

(Also, anyone else’s headless scripts randomly fail for no reason? Or is that just me? 😅)
