Saving a Site

A website is a collection of two or more interrelated web pages and other related content collectively identified by a common domain name and published on at least one of the different web servers available. Some common examples of websites are Google, Facebook, Amazon, Flipkart, Wikipedia, etc. All publicly visible and accessible websites collectively constitute the World Wide Web. 


Saving a site not only saves it but also makes it available for offline viewing and helps us in reviewing it as many times as we desire without going back online every single time. This saves both our time and reduces the amount of data it takes to revisit the same website on the web, thus, saving us money.

Why Do We Save Sites?

Bookmarking a website or webpage saves a link to that website or webpage in our saved links lists. Whereas saving a website or webpage makes the website or web page accessible offline. Thus, we can easily review the page or site without the need to go back online on the web to look for it. The main advantage of saving a webpage or website is when we want to capture the content of the site or page indefinitely, mainly for static websites or web pages whose contents do not change with time.
