"Best way to use wget to save a whole site offline?"

Hey folks!

I’ve been trying to archive a few sites for offline reading, and everyone keeps saying *"just use wget whole site offline"* like it’s magic. But uh… it’s not *that* simple, right?

I’ve messed around with commands like:
`wget --mirror --convert-links --adjust-extension --page-requisites --no-parent http://example.com`

But sometimes it grabs too much junk or misses stuff. Anyone got tips to make wget whole site offline work *better*? Like:
- How deep should I go?
- Should I throttle requests to avoid bans?
- Any flags to skip videos/giant files?

Also, is wget still the king for this, or are there better tools now?

Thanks in advance! (and sorry if this has been asked a million times—I swear I searched first 😅)
