I used wget to download a website files and when i use live view of the index.html on Google Chrome the webpage loads and you see it for 1 or 2 seconds and then it goes blank? Any help would be appreciated. thanks
Used wget –mirror –convert-links –adjust-extension –page-requisites –no-parent
Opened the index.html file and used Live Preview in VS code.
Webpage showed for 1 or 2 seconds perfectly then went blank.

This suggests that some JavaScript is executed after page is loaded. Firstly determine if there is
<script>
tag inindex.html
by opening it in text editor. If it is present disable JavaScript in your browser and then openindex.html
using it.The issue with the webpage going blank after a few seconds when using
wget
to download the website and live preview it in VS Code could be due to missing or incorrectly linked JavaScript, CSS files, or other dependencies.wget
might not fully capture dynamic content or resolve relative paths correctly. Check for missing resources, broken links, and server-side rendering. Consider using a local web server to serve the downloaded files for better results.
