Turn web view into image on server

The built-in Filemaker charts are super limited, so I have a number of web views on my screen, but they really slow down load time. I'd love to find a way to run a nightly script on the server which turns all my web views into images and stuffs them into a container.

I think I can do this with MBS, but this function doesn't run on the server (which makes sense). Is there some workaround for this? Does anyone else have any advice for this?

MBS function: Monkeybread Software - MBS FileMaker Plugin: WebView.Screenshot

UPDATE: I did find this outline that someone shares, but my brain isn't seeing how to use javascript to turn the page itself into an image. Claris Community (English)
