Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Recursive is an experimental tool for visualising the world wide web. Given a URL it downloads the page, searches for links, then recursively downloads each one of those. The information is then displayed in a node-based graph.

Nice visuals, but it doesn't seem to let me download the pages. Maybe that bit's broken?

Very interesting, it works when I click on the links. It´s important for my job to show a quick look at our landing pages and how they are linked to the main page.
