What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A Node.js library that downloads entire websites to a local directory, including HTML, CSS, images, and JavaScript assets. It parses HTTP responses for HTML and CSS to recursively mirror static sites, with plugin support for extending behavior.

Use cases

  • download a website for offline viewing
  • mirror a static site with all css and images
  • save a webpage locally with nodejs
  • scrape a website's html and assets into a directory
  • create a local backup copy of a website
  • archive a site before it goes offline

When to choose

  • you need to download static websites or pages with their assets
  • you want a programmable Node.js API or plugin system for site mirroring
  • you don't need JavaScript execution or dynamic content rendering

When to avoid

  • the site relies on client-side JavaScript rendering (use website-scraper-puppeteer instead)
  • you need a full-featured GUI mirroring tool like HTTrack
  • you need to scrape data/extract structured information rather than mirror pages
