How to load list of urls in succession(load next url on finish) using for loop in WKWebview swift [Help]
1 project | /r/iOSProgramming | 15 Jun 2021

If I was tackling this kind of problem I would avoid WKWebView and use something like SwiftSoup as it just parses the HTML without loading all the external resources (CSS, JS, images) and rendering it. This will only work if the page you're scraping doesn't rely upon Javascript.
