Import a website from its URL

Paste any web address and SiteViewer imports the pages and hosts a private snapshot you can share. This is separate from reviewing a live site in real time.

Snapshot or live

Importing makes a hosted copy of the pages as they are at that moment. The live-website option proxies the real site as it keeps changing. Use a snapshot when you want a fixed point to review.

How to import

  1. Start a new preview. Click New preview, then Import.
  2. Paste the site address. Enter the web address of the site you want to bring in.
  3. Choose how many linked pages to bring in. Pick the depth so SiteViewer knows how much of the site to capture.
  4. Let SiteViewer do the rest. It crawls those pages, rewrites the links so they work inside your preview, and gives you a private link.
Tip

If the site sits behind its own password, like a trial-mode site, see the guide on importing a site that needs a password.
