Website History Viewer

Web archives operate by crawling the public internet, but they don't capture every page. Websites may be missed if they are new, rarely linked to, or specifically configured to prevent archiving using a **robots.txt file**. Additionally, dynamic content, private logins, and content behind paywalls are generally not archived.

Archived versions are generally a close representation of the original HTML content. However, they are rarely exact copies. Elements that often break or fail to load include **JavaScript-heavy features**, high-resolution images, streaming media, and modern CSS/font files that rely on external, uncaptured links.

Yes, many web archives, including the popular Wayback Machine, allow users to submit a URL for immediate capture. This ensures a permanent record of the website at that specific moment in time. This is particularly useful for documenting important events or saving content before it is updated or deleted.
