# Web Content Archiver

Archive web pages completely with archive checks, content extraction, and visual screenshots.

Web content disappears more often than people realize. Pages get updated, redesigned, or taken down entirely. This workflow creates a comprehensive archive of any web page by checking existing archives, extracting the current content as text, and capturing a visual screenshot of the page layout.

Start by checking the Wayback Machine for historical snapshots, then scrape the live page to capture its full text content and metadata. Finally, take a screenshot to preserve the exact visual appearance. Together, these three outputs give you a complete record: historical context, raw content, and visual documentation.
