How to make website available offline


I want to make my website available offline even if the user clears the cache and cookies. Is is possible? Also I am dealing with database. Is is possible to handle databases offline?


Solution

    1. A user could store a local copy of a single webpage using Chrome (right click save-as) and it will store all resources (images, css, js) required to fully load the page offline. Other browsers will have similar options.

    2. You can use wget to mirror a whole website for offline browsing.

      wget --mirror --convert-links --html-extension -p http://www.example.com/
      

      of course neither of these options will handle database driven elements of your site/page.

    3. If you want to mock a database or dynamic elements of a page offline then Google Gears is probably the closest to what you are looking for but I think it was deprecated by Google last year.
