Cyotek WebCopy can help you browse an entire website, even when there is no Internet connection. The program works by exploring the links within a website and creating a list of its contents, including not only pages but also other types of files. This way, it fetches all the elements needed to make the site completely available offline. One of the advantages of this tool is that it reconstructs all links so that when you click on one of them, it will no longer point to the original online resource but the one on your hard disk instead.
The program is quite easy to use, as just by entering a URL it can start scanning the corresponding site. Moreover, you can set a group of rules that determine what resources to download. Luckily, the tool allows grabbing resources from a website that requires the use of credentials. When the exploration has concluded, it is possible to access a map of the site and decide what to download, which is quite a unique feature that is not commonly supported by other similar software.
The program has the limitations of being unable to parse JavaScript code. As a result, when the links in a site are dynamically generated by JavaScript, the product fails to create an accurate copy. Likewise, it may have difficulties to make working copies of data-driven websites.
All in all, Cyotek WebCopy may come in handy not only when you cannot access the Internet but also when you need to reduce connection costs or distribute the contents of a website by other means, for example, discs. Luckily, the product can be used freely and surely deserves a try.
