AJAX technology facilitates the exchanging of data between a server and the selected sections of a webpage without requiring you to reload the entire page. 

Method 1: Inspect the variables appearing in the URL when redirected

This method focuses on analyzing the variables/parameters that appear in the address bar or URL of your browser when you access a webpage.

When you enter information and click submit, check if any parameters have been added to the URL.

  • If parameters are added, then the page is not AJAX-enabled.
  • If not, then the page is AJAX enabled.

Method 2: Use your browser's built-in developer tool (ADVANCED)

Another method is to inspect the HTML code element in a web page to determine if a web page is AJAX-enabled. 

  1. Right-click on your webpage to open the context menu (see the respective instructions on how to enable the Developer menu for a Chrome browser or Safari browser).
  2. Click on the Network tab.
  3. Verify the presence of ka.src
    • If ka.src is not present, the page is not AJAX-enabled.
    • If ka.src is present, the page is AJAX-enabled.
