## What it is
zmirror is a Python-based HTTP reverse proxy designed to automatically and completely mirror entire websites, such as Google, Wikipedia, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. It includes built-in caching, CDN support, and out-of-the-box configuration files for popular sites, enabling quick deployment of accessible mirrors.

## Use cases
- mirror a blocked website like google
- create a wikipedia mirror
- set up a youtube reverse proxy
- deploy a self-hosted proxy mirror of a site
- cache and serve a mirrored website via CDN
- run a google scholar mirror
- proxy an entire website with rewritten URLs

## When to choose
- you need a full-site mirror with automatic URL rewriting rather than a simple path-based reverse proxy
- you want prebuilt configs for popular sites like Google, Wikipedia, or YouTube
- you need built-in caching and CDN support for a mirrored site
- you want a pure-Python solution deployable on a single server

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose load balancer or API gateway rather than site mirroring
- you require actively maintained software - the latest release dates to 2019 and development has stalled
- you need to mirror sites requiring full login support, which is only partially functional
- you want a lightweight path-based reverse proxy like nginx for standard backend routing
