Etch all the dependent technologies in stone so that somebody could replicate it.
Starting maybe from the transistor, if you're insistent on the full experience of loading the website from a browser with HTTP on TCP/IP networking.
Otherwise you can just etch the HTML in stone with a brief explanation of what the tags mean (eg. part of the HTML spec). Generally popular languages can survive 500+ years, so one can safely presume that some people 500+ years later can understand our English if they put in some effort.
.. I don't know why anyone would presume the web in any form would exist in 500 years. It would be fortunate if humanity as we know it still exists in 500 years. We are so capable of wiping out ourselves with various techs (whether intentionally or otherwise) that the odds are not really that great.
