pagehaul, next to the tools it gets compared with.
Each page says what the other tool is, in its own words, when it is the better choice, and when this one is. A comparison that only ever flatters its author is not worth reading.
01Instead of a website copier or image downloader
The first half of pagehaul is an asset extractor: paste a link and take the images, icons, fonts, video and 3D models off a page. These are the tools people reach for to do the same job.
HTTrack
HTTrack is a free, open-source (GPL) offline browser utility. It is a desktop program for Windows, macOS and Linux that downloads a website recursively to a local folder and keeps the link structure, so the copy can be browsed offline.
SaveWeb2ZIP
SaveWeb2ZIP is a free website that downloads a landing page or a site as a ZIP archive of its files: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images and fonts.
Image Cyborg
Image Cyborg is a web-based image downloader. You paste a URL and it scans the rendered page for image files such as JPG, PNG, WebP, SVG and GIF, then packages the images it finds in one ZIP.
Cyotek WebCopy
Cyotek WebCopy is a free Windows program that copies websites locally for offline browsing. Its own documentation says it "does not include a virtual DOM or any form of JavaScript parsing".
SiteSucker
SiteSucker is a Macintosh application that automatically downloads websites from the Internet.
02Instead of a website audit tool
The second half is the teardown: it measures a site and writes the findings up as a report you can send. These are the tools that measure a site too.
PageSpeed Insights
PageSpeed Insights is Google's free tool that reports on the user experience of a page on mobile and desktop and suggests how to improve it. It combines Lighthouse lab data (performance, accessibility, best practices and SEO) with field data from real Chrome users.
Screaming Frog SEO Spider
Screaming Frog SEO Spider is a desktop website crawler for Windows, macOS and Linux, used for technical SEO site audits. Its free version crawls up to 500 URLs.
SEOptimer
SEOptimer is a web-based SEO audit and reporting tool. It produces white-label SEO reports for agencies, with an option to embed the audit on your own site.
WAVE
WAVE is a suite of web accessibility evaluation tools from WebAIM at Utah State University, available as an online tool, browser extensions and an API. It identifies accessibility and WCAG errors and supports human evaluation of a page.
03How these were written
What is said about each tool was read from its own website on 1 October 2026, and each page links to where. Prices for other tools are left out, because a price copied here goes stale the day they change it. If something is wrong or out of date, say so and it will be fixed.
