Website HTML Extractor
See the exact HTML a server sends for a page – useful when view-source is blocked on a phone, when you need the source of a page as a file, or to compare what crawlers receive with what your browser shows. Enter an address and the tool downloads the page, shows the source with its size, line and element counts and the response headers, and lets you indent the tags for reading, copy everything or save it as an .html file.

Website HTML Extractor FAQ
Is this the same as “View source”?
Yes – it is the HTML the server sends, before scripts change the page. The Elements panel in developer tools shows the page after scripts ran.
Can I download a whole website?
No. It fetches one page at a time and does not download images, styles or scripts.
Is the HTML executed?
No. It is displayed as plain text; nothing on the page runs.
Why is the page truncated?
Pages larger than 2 MB are cut at that limit.
Why does the source differ from what I see in the browser?
Many sites build part of the page with JavaScript after it loads. The delivered HTML is what the server sends; the browser’s inspector shows the page after scripts have changed it.
Can I download the HTML as a file?
Yes. Copy the source or download it as an .html file. The file contains the markup exactly as the server sent it, so relative links and images may not work when you open it locally without the original site.
Does it show the HTML Google sees?
It shows the HTML before JavaScript runs, which is what crawlers receive first. Google renders JavaScript later in a second step, so content added by scripts may still be indexed, just with a delay.
The HTML a server really sends
Modern sites often send a small HTML shell and build the page with JavaScript. Comparing the server HTML with what you see in the browser shows how much a crawler that does not run scripts would see.
Indenting is only for reading; the download keeps whichever version is shown.
The extractor shows the exact HTML a server sends – before any JavaScript runs. That is what search engine crawlers receive first, so comparing it with what your browser shows reveals content that only appears after scripts run.
Alongside the source you get its size, line and element counts and the response headers, which helps when debugging caching, redirects or encoding problems. It is also useful on phones, where view-source is often unavailable, or when you need the source as a file.
The page is downloaded once by our server through a guarded client that only connects to public addresses, and nothing is stored. Pages behind a login or that block automated requests cannot be fetched.
A typical use is checking what changed after a deployment: extract the HTML before and after, then compare the two with the text diff checker. Another is debugging SEO problems – if a title, canonical or structured data block is missing from the delivered source, search engines will not see it either, even if it appears in your browser after scripts run.
