Watch out for

Headless browsers often fail on sites requiring login or CAPTCHA verification so you must whitelist known public URLs or implement session cookies.
Google Drive API quotas can be exceeded by rapid bulk uploads so add a small delay between upload attempts to avoid throttling errors.
Dynamic content like lazy-loaded images may not render in time for the screenshot so configure explicit wait-for selectors before capturing.
Large image buffers might exceed n8n's default payload size limits so compress the output or increase the node timeout settings.
