I had recently to assist a customer who had a website built using the Hostinger Website Builder (a WYSIWYG platform, besides their WordPress plans). This builder generates static HTML/JS/CSS pages, potentially with some dynamic features like forms.

To assist the customer with their transition to a different technology, we provided them with a static version of their website as a temporary solution until their new platform was fully developed. During this process, I explored various methods, including:

• Brute archiving downloads: This involved using tools like wget and HTTrack, as well as other software or browser-based solutions.
• Hostinger’s WordPress export option: Located within the builder under “settings > export to a WordPress site” this feature was also tested. However, it was determined that the theme elements and formatting would require significant rework, making it impractical for a temporary page.

After evaluating different options and considering the underlying web technologies used by the builder, I ultimately found SingleFile to be the most efficient solution.

SingleFile is available as both a web extension and a CLI tool. It proved to be highly effective, requiring only minor adjustments to the URLs.
