title: Javascript load document without rendering
body: <p>My apologies if this is a stupid question, but I spent hours searching with no results.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to look at the raw HTML of a document without it being rendered by the browser. Is there a DOM element that does this; or a method that disables rendering?</p>
  
  <p>It's for a dumbed-down search engine that flips through a bunch of URLs looking for a particular character pattern.  </p>
  
  <p>I could use an iframe and then look at iframe.innerHTML but that slows things down and creates too much traffic as the browser loads ads and images.</p>
  
  <p>The document sources are all over the web so AJAX is not on.  PHP is a last resort.</p>
