Use WebArchiver to create a static copy of a dynamic Web site.

Some companies use WebArchiver to create a browsable copy of their dynamic Web site for marketing and presentation purposes. If your Web site is dynamic (i.e., some or all pages on your Web site are generated by server-side scripts such as ASP, PHP, Cold Fusion, Perl, etc.) just copying the source pages won't help. In this case you can use WebArchiver to create a static copy of your dynamic Web site. If your Web site is interactive (e.g. uses Web forms to read user input) you can browse to every page on your site and WebArchiver will record every response of your Web site in the project database. WebArchiver can download Web sites with password protection, Web forms, JavaScript links, and Flash. You will be able to browse your Web site later on a computer not connected to the Internet.

Use WebArchiver to convert your Web site to use relative links instead of absolute links.

Use WebArchiver to view directory and logical structure of a Web site.

WebArchiver will show you both the directory structure of a Web site as well as its logical structure (how pages on a Web site are linked to each other). To view the structure of a Web site, select a task and click the Structure button on the Task toolbar.

Though WebArchiver is not a full-blown link checker it will show you such information as broken links on your Web site, untitled pages, the total size of your Web site, or the size of a particular page with embedded pictures.
