# Web Console

The **Web Console:**

1. Logs information associated with a web page: network requests, JavaScript, CSS, security errors and warnings as well as error, warning and informational messages explicitly logged by JavaScript code running in the page context
2. Enables you to interact with a web page by executing JavaScript expressions in the context of the page
