Turn a WordPress site into a static HTML archive
Static copies of WordPress sites load faster, cannot be hacked and cost nothing to host. HTTrack Online crawls your WordPress site link by link and packages the whole thing as static files.

Free tool. Pages and files are downloaded one by one, links are rewritten for offline browsing, and everything is packed into a ZIP. Only mirror sites you own or have permission to copy.
How the WordPress export works
This is the classic HTTrack use case, minus the desktop install. Great for archiving an old blog, freezing a site before decommissioning a server, or serving a static mirror while the origin is under maintenance.
Start the mirror above, watch the file list fill up as pages and assets are downloaded, then save the ZIP and open it locally or deploy it to any static host.
WordPress export questions
Will my plugins keep working?
Anything rendered server-side (themes, page builders, galleries) is captured. Dynamic features that need PHP at request time (comments, cart, search) become static snapshots and need external services if you rehost.
Is it legal to download a WordPress website?
Downloading a website you own, manage, or have permission to copy is perfectly fine. Copying someone else's site to republish it is not. HTTrack Online is a backup and migration tool: use it on your own WordPress projects or with the owner's consent.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Unlike the classic HTTrack desktop copier, everything runs in your browser. Paste the URL, wait for the crawl to finish, and download a ZIP archive.
What is inside the ZIP?
Standard HTML, CSS, JavaScript and media files with all URLs rewritten to relative paths. You can open it locally, keep it as a backup, or upload it to any static host (Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, S3, classic FTP hosting).
