: How to save the HTML of a website I'm curious, how do you save a webpage that you know will be taken down in the near future? Is there a way to cache the webpage that is being served

@Nimeshi995

You aren't an owner of the domain or hosting account are you? Otherwise you'd use FTP client to download it.

If you want to save a public web page then:
1. File / Save as "Page Source", "Web page - HTML only", "Web Page - complete" or "Web Archive" and other options available in the web browser.
2. A copy of the page also works.

In some web browsers (Mozila/FireFox for example) you could go, right-click, choose "View Page Source" and then save the HTML code.

Safari has a very nice feature "Export as PDF" that allows the user to save a way page as PDF file.

Besides the most simple solution of saving the webpage from your browser (typically with CTRL+S, there are many apps to download all the website files to your computer, so can navegate them offline, even if the website is down. Apps like HTTrack or wget will do the job.

Or if the website was "popular" enough there is a high chance of it already being cached or saved by Internet Archive or Search Engines caches (You can take a look at an older version of a webpage at cachedpage.co/ (disclaimer: I did that).
