Translations:Websites archiveren: hoe en waarom?/3/en

Not so long ago, websites consisted solely of static HTML pages, which are simple text pages with formatting that the web browser can transform into a web page. To archive these websites, you simply had to copy the folder with the files to your own computer. But more recent websites use a Content Management System (CMS), which is a database that manages website information and compiles web pages at the moment they are opened. This makes the website dynamic, but also much harder to archive.
