HoneyPage

Also known as: Honey Page

A purpose-built test web page used by researchers to study the behaviour of browser extensions, crawlers, or malware in a controlled environment. HoneyPages are instrumented to record network requests, JS API calls, and cookies, and are often designed with known accessibility properties so researchers can measure how an extension alters the page. The AXECC framework uses a baseline static HoneyPage and multiple WordPress HoneyPages (index, login, blog, 404) to evaluate extensions.
