Any ajax won't work offline.

Ajax will* still work fine with an internet connection as long as those ajax endpoints don't require cookies and don't linkrot.

* not 100% sure how the tool handles relative URLs embedded in source : if it's not clever enough though, this is very fixable via PR (as in its not an architectural limitation)

What's the point of saving a webpage if it won't work offline?
