If you do not have a web archive to test, one easy way to create one is to use the `ArchiveWeb.page <https://archiveweb.page>`_ browser extension for Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers such as Brave Browser. ArchiveWeb.page records pages visited during an archiving session in the browser, and provides means of both replaying and downloading the archived items created.
After recording, you can click **Stop** and then click `Download Collection` to receive a WARC (`.warc.gz`) file.
Follow the instructions in `How To Create Web Archives with ArchiveWeb.page <https://archiveweb.page/en/usage/>`_. After recording, press **Stop** and then `download your collection <https://archiveweb.page/en/download/>`_ to receive a WARC (`.warc.gz`) file. If you choose to download your collection in the WACZ format, the WARC files can be found inside the zipped WACZ in the ``archive/`` directory.
You can then use this with work with pywb.

Using Browsertrix
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
For a more automated browser-based web archiving experience, `Browsertrix <https://browsertrix.com/>`_ provides a web interface for configuring, scheduling, running, reviewing, and curating crawls of web content. Crawl activity is shown in a live screencast of the browsers used for crawling and all web archives created in Browsertrix can be easily downloaded from the application in the WACZ format.
`Browsertrix Crawler <https://crawler.docs.browsertrix.com/>`_, which provides the underlying crawling functionality of Browsertrix, can also be run standalone in a Docker container on your local computer.
