BEST Course

Static archive of the website that ran at best.hr/course until 2026-09-10, when the WordPress server behind it was retired. Every page here is plain HTML. There is no database, no PHP and nothing to keep patched.

Home: https://course.best.hr/

  • 4 published pages, 302 files, 18.8 MB
  • Verified: every page and asset requested over HTTP, 152 URLs, 0 failures
  • Verified: every page rendered in a browser, 0 broken images

Looking at it locally

python3 -m http.server 8000

Then open http://127.0.0.1:8000/. Any static file server works, and so does dragging the folder into Cloudflare Pages or Netlify.

How it was made

Mirrored with wget, then checked against the site's own database rather than by clicking around, because a crawler only finds pages that something links to. The full method, the tooling and the verification results live in the migration notes alongside this archive.

What deliberately differs from the original

This is a faithful copy with three exceptions, all of them deliberate.

Links were made relative

Every reference to best.hr that pointed at a file in this archive was rewritten to a relative path, so the site is self-contained and does not call a server that no longer exists. Links to genuinely external sites are untouched.

Personal contact details were replaced

Named personal email addresses and mobile phone numbers were replaced with the organisation's role address, course@best.hr. This archive is public and outlives the students named in it. People's names stay, as credit; their private contact details do not.

Links that led nowhere were repaired or removed

Some links were already broken on the live site. Where the target still existed under a different address it was repointed; where it existed nowhere the link was removed and the surrounding content left in place.

Licence

The content, images and copy belong to BEST Zagreb. Third-party theme and plugin assets under wp-content/ remain under their own licences and are included only because the pages need them to render as they originally did.

Hosting

Live at https://course.best.hr/, served by Cloudflare Workers as static files straight from this repository. Every push to main is deployed by Workers Builds within a minute or two. The dev branch deploys the same way to https://course.dev.best.hr/ for trying changes first.

Editions

Older editions live in their own repositories and year hostnames, so a rebuild of this site never touches them: the Zagreb Spring Course 2018 site is at https://2018.course.best.hr/ (BEST-Course-Web-2018). When this edition is replaced, freeze it the same way under <year>.course.best.hr.

Wayback Machine

The site ran at https://best.hr/course/. The Internet Archive's calendar for it is https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://best.hr/course/*. Checked on 2026-09-11: captures run from 2006-10-10 to at least 2025-03-13, with 13 distinct HTML pages answering 200. A fresh capture of every published page was requested on 2026-09-11. This repository is the complete copy of the site as it was frozen; the archive is a partial, independent second copy.
