Troubleshooting
Why is my captured website blank?
A captured page can look empty when the original HTML was only a shell, JavaScript never finished, a login or bot wall blocked the browser, or the job timed out. WebCopier saves what the browser had. It cannot invent the missing application.
Why it happens
- Client-rendered app never hydrated
- Content only from a live API
- Auth, captcha, or geo wall
- Timeout / partial job
How to diagnose
Read the capture report. Retry a smaller public URL. Confirm you can open the live page in a normal browser without login.
When it cannot be fixed
If the product is an API-only app, offline HTML will stay empty. That is a site architecture limit. See limitations.
