Welcome to the ReplayWeb.page documentation! These docs contain the following sections:

What is ReplayWeb.page?

ReplayWeb.page is an open-source, browser-based viewer that loads and renders static web archive files. It functions as a serverless (client side) replay tool that doesn't require a server to coordinate what archived content should be retrieved from a large central repository. It allows web archives to be hosted on any regular web server and viewed in any modern browser.

Key Features

  • High-fidelity replay of archived items in several formats.
  • Page search and URL search.
  • Full text search support for archived items that include extracted text.
  • On-demand, incremental loading of large files.
  • Several options for fully-functional offline usage, including a standalone desktop app with Flash support.
  • Support for embedding archived items directly into your website!
