Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and system for website detection in the field of computer technology. According to some embodiments, a cloud platform receives a website detection request carrying a target URL and forwards the website detection request to a target edge device corresponding to the target URL; the target edge device acquires a page screenshot corresponding to the target URL, and analyzes the page screenshot based on a preset character recognition algorithm and/or a picture analysis model to generate an analysis result; and the target edge device feeds back the analysis result to a transmitting terminal of the website detection request. The method and system according to embodiments of the present disclosure effectively reduce cost and increase efficiency of website detection. Consumption of network traffic bandwidth may also be reduced and delay of website detection may be shortened.
