Yes, that is a general problem with many webshot programs and libraries.

The coinbase page ( and many others ) uses a lot of javascript to generate their
pages and the webshot programs must understand javascript in all
details which is hard.

If you are looking for the coinbase prices you can use their api to
get json instead:

https://api.coinbase.com/v2/prices/spot?currency=USD
