offlinepages

<p>Offline Pages plugin allows you to cache your entire WordPress site locally on iPad, iPhone, or Mac, then browse it while working offline, e.g.<br />
in Airplane Mode or when there is no network connection available. The plugin works in tandem with Offline Pages Pro or similar app. Together they efficiently synchronize<br />
your WordPress articles with on-device cache to provide a complete offline browsing experience for the entire site.</p>
<p>The plugin itself does not offer any useful functionality without the app. All it does is output a <code><link></code> element pointing to a special URL which serves XML document<br />
with rules for synchronizing your site, e.g. <code>/blog/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=opwp_rules</code>. The URL is ignored by any browser except Offline Pages app which uses<br />
it as a guide to crawl the site and cache the resources according to rules contained in a document.</p>
<h4>Rules Document</h4>
<p>Unlike HTML5 cache manifest, Offline Pages rules documents don’t require listing every individual resource used by the website. Instead, they provide high-level<br />
instructions only. Examples of instructions are: block or allow certain URL patterns, customize caching policy, set update frequency, or add resource dependencies<br />
not recognizable automatically by crawler (e.g. when URLs are computed by non-trivial JavaScript expressions).</p>
<p>You can find rules document DTD <a href="http://codiumlabs.com/dtd/rules-1.0.dtd" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>.</p>

</ul>
<p>Note that the plugin does NOT allow or support any admin functions, post editing or commenting while offline.</p>
