- Framer export vs saving the page.Ctrl+S, View Source, wget and HTTrack each get part of a Framer site. What each one misses, why hydration defeats them, and a four-minute test for any copy.
- How Source Sync preserves edits after a re-capture.Source Sync captures the source again and reapplies your edits, uploads and renames in a fixed order, keeps a backup, and reports what it cannot place.
- Why copied websites break offline.A copy that breaks offline still depends on the original server. The seven places references hide, a DevTools diagnosis, and what proper localization rewrites.
- Framer assets, fonts, and breakpoints, explained.How Framer serves images in five sizes, where its fonts come from, what its breakpoints compile to, and what a capture does with each, with real numbers.
