Offline Pages is a WordPress Plugin Directory app by offlinepages.
AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Offline Pages is a newly-listed WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. no published reviews yet means feature claims are unverified by the wider merchant base. Without a published review base, the only fit-signal available is the developer's own documentation plus the marketplace's listing-quality audit (linked below). Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +Published by offlinepages — established developer track record
Cons
- −No public reviews yet — fit and reliability are unverified

How Offline Pages works
Show full descriptionShow less
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.
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
your WordPress articles with on-device cache to provide a complete offline browsing experience for the entire site.
The plugin itself does not offer any useful functionality without the app. All it does is output a <link> element pointing to a special URL which serves XML document
with rules for synchronizing your site, e.g. /blog/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=opwp_rules. The URL is ignored by any browser except Offline Pages app which uses
it as a guide to crawl the site and cache the resources according to rules contained in a document.
Rules Document Unlike HTML5 cache manifest, Offline Pages rules documents don’t require listing every individual resource used by the website. Instead, they provide high-level
instructions only. Examples of instructions are: block or allow certain URL patterns, customize caching policy, set update frequency, or add resource dependencies
not recognizable automatically by crawler (e.g. when URLs are computed by non-trivial JavaScript expressions).
You can find rules document DTD here.
