Overview

Wix Scraper is a Python script that allows you to convert a Wix-created website into an offline local copy, with downloaded images and fonts. It also removes all Wix-related JavaScript and replaces it with the nearest open-source alternative, such as slick.js and Leaflet.js.

Speed

Due to getting rid of Wix JS, CSS, animations, and other Wix-like content, as well as adding more SEO, we get a better website. Here's the Google Lighthouse report:
