Time Travel the Internet: View Any Website from (Almost) Any Year

What you'll need

Posted in these interests:

Most people don’t know that you can look up past “snapshots” of almost any website. Archive.org is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that was formed to build an expansive Internet library. Since 1996, the organization has been archiving digital content to preserve the legacy and history of the Internet and the World Wide Web.

1 – Visit archive.org

Using your browser, navigate to  Archive.org .

2 – Enter the website you’d like to view and click Browse History

I decided to check out Amazon’s humble roots since I’ve been reading the Jeff Bezos biography  One Click .

3 – Select a year

The Archive.org meta crawler visits popular sites more often. Each blue circular bubble indicates that a snapshot exists. In my case I searched for Amazon, the 7th most popular site on the web; this explains the blue blur that you see below.

You might notice by the “annual” snapshot bar graphs that overall snapshots have increased over the years — this is due to hard drive space becoming less expensive, resulting in more crawls being possible. After all, each snapshot isn’t just a mere image — it’s an explorable version of the site.

From here, you can either select a blue bubble to view the relevant snapshot or choose a different year to view. Let’s go deeper.  Select an older year.

4 – Select a snapshot

After you’ve selected the year, find the specific date you’d like to explore. Explorable dates are denoted by the blue bubble. A larger bubble means that multiple snapshots exist for that date.  Click on a date bubble.

5 – Bask in the glory of old design

It’s interesting to see not only how web design has changed but also how far we’ve come in such a short period of time.

Wayback Machine Alternative

Marketing Team

What is the wayback machine.

The Wayback Machine , founded by Internet Archive, is a non-profit digital library offering free universal access to 492 billion archived web pages.

It works as a time machine archive allowing users to go "back in time" and see what websites looked like in the past, making it perfect for:

Wayback Machine: 5 Alternatives To Try

Discover alternatives to the Wayback Machine for preserving website history and data. Explore web archives and their unique features for SEO.

The internet is constantly changing, with websites appearing and disappearing and information being added or removed constantly.

This makes it hard for people who study and analyze the internet or businesses to control their online appearance. It’s easy for things to get lost or vanish entirely.

But there’s good news! There are web archives, like the Wayback Machine, that take “snapshots” of websites at different times. This means they save a copy of the website’s appearance on a specific date.

In this article, we’ll look closer at the Wayback Machine and other web archives. We’ll talk about what makes them unique and how they can be used for different things, including SEO .

What Is The Wayback Machine?

The Wayback Machine is like a big online library that saves copies of websites from different times.

It’s run by the Internet Archive, and it doesn’t make any money from it. With the Wayback Machine, you can see what a website looked like in the past, even if it’s changed or gone offline now.

To use it, you type in the website address you want to look up, and it’ll show you a calendar with all the dates when it saved a copy of that site. Click on a date, and you’ll see the website exactly as it was on that day.

The Wayback Machine is excellent and has saved over 800 billion webpages, but it might not have every page or update ever made to a site.

That’s where other web archives come in handy, as they might have saved some stuff that the Wayback Machine missed.

Alternative Web Archives And Their Use Cases

1. the memento project.

Memento is an exceptional alternative to the Wayback Machine because it aggregates several sources, including the Wayback Machine itself.

You can access archives from several sources on the website using the Time Travel tool.

This is the first distinction that makes Memento so cool. It also includes some of the other archives on this list. That means it’s a customizable experience and likely one of the most complete.

Memento’s other distinct feature is the Chrome extension, which allows you to select the date on which you’d like to view your current page. This brings the tool to where you’re browsing instead of forcing you to enter a URL into a form.

You can also create a snapshot of a page and generate a link that will not break. This is particularly useful for citations.

If you’re concerned a page might disappear or the content might get updated, but you want to use the information, creating one of these links ensures that people can see your source.

• Researchers can use Memento to access a broader range of archived content from various sources, increasing the likelihood of finding relevant information .
• Intellectual property attorneys can use Memento to gather evidence of prior art or trademark infringement by accessing archived versions of websites.
• Marketers can track the evolution of competitors’ websites and marketing strategies over time, identifying trends and shifts in messaging.

2. Archive.today

Archive.today is another “snapshot” tool. It allows you to save a link to a page as it currently exists.

It offers a simple way to preserve content and generate unalterable links to the archived versions.

Following the link will send users to an unalterable version of the page.

It also features some relatively advanced search queries you can perform on domains and URLs to find snapshots that have been saved with the tool.

This tool also features a Chrome extension and an Android app.

Searches on Memento can include results from Archive.today.

• Journalists can use Archive.today to save snapshots of online articles or social media posts, preserving evidence of important statements or events.
• Researchers can create permanent links to archived pages, ensuring that their sources remain accessible and unaltered over time.
• The Archive.today Chrome extension and Android app make it easy to quickly save snapshots of pages while browsing or on the go.

WebCite has powerful applications for authors, journalists, academics, and publishers.

It offers a variety of ways to build and present the archived pages and the URLs.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to be taking new requests at the time of publishing. But you can still access already archived pages. When and if it starts accepting requests again, it’s a handy tool.

Its most powerful feature for authors and publishers is the ability to upload a manuscript directly to the website.

The tool will scan every link in an uploaded manuscript and automatically create archives of each of the pages linked to as they currently exist. This saves a lot of time if you’ve used many website citations.

If you’ve created content that you want people to be able to create snapshots of, then you can add a specific WebCite link to your page that users can click on. This embeds archive functionality into your page, saving users time if they use your work as a citation.

• Authors and publishers can upload manuscripts directly to WebCite, which will automatically create archives of all the linked pages in their current state, saving time and ensuring that citations remain valid.
• Content creators can add WebCite links to their pages, allowing readers to easily create snapshots of the content for future reference or citation.
• Medical researchers can use WebCite to create permanent links to online supplementary materials for their published papers, ensuring that the resources remain accessible to readers.
• Legal professionals can archive web-based evidence using WebCite, guaranteeing that the content remains unaltered and admissible in court proceedings.

GitHub is a development and collaboration platform prioritizing public projects and open-source code.

It documents and archives open-source code and programs and is searchable by other archives, such as the Wayback Machine.

But, if you’re looking for something related to code or software development, it might be easier to go straight to GitHub instead of another archive service.

While it does have paid business plans, GitHub is free for the average user. It even offers 15 GB of storage and some computing power in its cloud developer environment for free for your personal use.

• Developers can use GitHub to access older versions of open-source projects, study their evolution, and learn from the code.
• Cybersecurity experts can study the commit history of open-source projects on GitHub to identify vulnerabilities and track the evolution of security patches.
• Researchers can explore the development history of software projects, analyze coding patterns, and investigate the impact of open-source software on various industries.

5. Country-Specific Web Archives

Several countries run their web archives.

These can be particularly helpful alternatives to the Wayback Machine if you’re looking for a website highly relevant to a specific location or country’s culture.

More focused archives might have more complete information if you’re having trouble finding it elsewhere. However, again, I want to mention that the first alternative in this list, Memento, pulls from several different country-specific archives.

I should also note that many archives specific to a country, region, educational institution, or individual library are partnered with Archive-it , a service provider built by The Internet Archive (makers of the Wayback Machine).

It curates specific collections based on relevance, but all Archive-it partners leverage the same source: The Internet Archive.

These are a few of the country-specific web archives:

• The UK Web Archive .
• The Library of Congress Web Archive .
• Web Archive Singapore .
• The Croatian Web Archive .
• Researchers studying a specific country’s history, culture, or politics can access archived web content that might not be available elsewhere.
• Businesses looking to understand the online landscape of a particular country can use these archives to gather competitive intelligence and track the evolution of local websites.
• Anthropologists and sociologists can use country-specific web archives to study the evolution of online culture and social norms in different regions.
• Economists can analyze archived web data from specific countries to track changes in consumer behavior , online marketplaces, and digital economies over time.

How The Wayback Machine Can Be Useful For SEO

In addition to its value for research and analysis, the Wayback Machine can also be a powerful tool for SEO professionals.

Here are some ways it can be used to improve a website’s search engine performance:

1. Recover Lost Or Broken Links

If a website undergoes a redesign or migration, some pages may be removed, or URLs may change, resulting in broken links and lost link equity.

The Wayback Machine can help identify these lost pages and provide opportunities to redirect them to relevant, existing content, preserving link equity and improving user experience .

2. Perform Competitive Analysis

Exploring archived versions of competitors’ websites can help SEO professionals gain insights into historical strategies, content changes, and keyword targeting .

This information can help inform their SEO strategies and identify opportunities for improvement.

3. Identify Backlink Opportunities

The Wayback Machine can reveal old backlinks to a website that may have been lost due to content updates or URL changes.

SEO professionals can potentially recover valuable link equity by discovering these lost backlinks and contacting the linking websites.

4. Monitor SERP Changes

By archiving search engine results pages (SERPs) over time, SEO professionals can track changes in rankings, featured snippets , and SERP features for their target keywords.

This data can help them understand the impact of algorithm updates and adjust their strategies accordingly.

5. Prove Ownership and Prevent Plagiarism

When a website’s content is plagiarized or used without permission, the Wayback Machine can provide evidence of the original content’s existence and ownership, which can be useful in legal disputes or DMCA takedown requests.

6. Identify Content Gaps

By analyzing competitors’ archived websites, SEO professionals can identify gaps and opportunities for creating unique, valuable content targeting untapped keywords or topics.

7. Track Algorithm Updates

SEO professionals can use the Wayback Machine to archive their websites and monitor changes in rankings and traffic following major search engine algorithm updates, helping them diagnose and address any issues.

8. Recover Deleted Content

Suppose valuable content is accidentally deleted from a website. In that case, SEO professionals can use the Wayback Machine to retrieve and restore lost content, minimizing the impact on search rankings and user experience.

9. Identify Historical Trends

By studying archived versions of top-ranking websites in their industry, SEO professionals can identify historical trends in content length, formatting, and keyword usage, which can inform their content optimization strategies .

10. Audit Historical SEO Practices

The Wayback Machine can help SEO professionals audit a website’s historical SEO practices, such as identifying past keyword stuffing, cloaking, or other black-hat techniques that may have resulted in manual penalties or ranking drops.

The Importance Of Web Archives: A Summary

Web archives, like the Wayback Machine and similar tools, are handy for saving internet snapshots as they change over time.

They can be helpful for researchers, journalists, marketers, and SEO professionals who want to study, analyze, or improve things online.

When using web archives, remember that they try their best to save as much of the internet as possible, but they might have yet to capture every webpage or update.

Also, each archive has its unique features and focus, so think about what you need before choosing which one to use.

Web archives are great for finding removed content, seeing how things have changed, or gathering proof for legal situations.

By getting to know these tools and what they can do, you can uncover valuable information and opportunities that could otherwise be lost forever in the constantly changing online world.

Memento Time Travel

Travel to the past of the web by right-clicking pages and links.

Memento for Chrome allows you to seamlessly navigate between the present web and the web of the past. It turns your browser into a web time travel machine that is activated by means of a Memento sub-menu that is available on right-click. First, select a date for time travel by clicking the black Memento extension icon. Now right-click on a web page, and click the "Get near …" option from the Memento sub-menu to see what the page looked like around the selected date. Do the same for any link in a page to see what the linked page looked like. If you hit one of those nasty "Page not Found" errors, right-click and select the "Get near current time" option to see what the page looked like before it vanished from the web. When on a past version of a page - the Memento extension icon is now red - right-click the page and select the "Get current time" option to see what it looks like now. Memento for Chrome obtains prior versions of pages from web archives around the world, including the massive web-wide Internet Archive, national archives such as the British Library and UK National Archives web archives, and on-demand web archives such as archive.is. It also allows time travel in all language versions of Wikipedia. There's two things Memento for Chrome can not do for you: obtain a prior version of a page when none have been archived and time travel into the future. Our sincere apologies for that. Technically, the Memento for Chrome extension is a client-side implementation of the Memento protocol that extends HTTP with content negotiation in the date time dimension. Many web archives have implemented server-side support for the Memento protocol, and, in essence, every content management system that supports time-based versioning can implement it. Technical details are in the Memento Internet Draft at http://www.mementoweb.org/guide/rfc/ID/. General information about the protocol, including a quick introduction, is available at http://mementoweb.org. For queries about the Memento for Chrome extension and the Memento protocol, get in touch at [email protected].

I tried using it on multiple websites. Doesn't work - keeps giving error "bad gateway".

Jeremy Leung Feb 18, 2024

Wish the extension is also available on Firefox (non-Chromium based; including Android app version), Samsung Internet (non-Chromium based), Microsoft Edge (don't want to download into browser from third-party stores), Safari (non-Chromium based; including Mac OS and iOS versions), etc. Also, wish it has an indicator displaying on the calendar when a specific page was successfully archived.

Nicole Ahmed Nov 14, 2023

Works well for retrieving archived versions of web pages. Would be great if similar to in web archive we could have an indication of dates that are available for a page - maybe a separate activation button so that there isn't a request for every site

5 Best Wayback Machine Alternatives To Browse Old Websites

The Internet has been around for more than two decades now. During this time, many websites were created and removed. Thankfully, many websites, such as the Wayback Machine, can help us revisit these old web pages. So here is a list of some of the best Wayback Machine Alternatives to help you browse old websites and expired URLs.

Every webpage on the Internet is stored forever for posterity. Thankfully, we can access most archived web information by using sites like Wayback Machine. However, we have also listed other Wayback Machine alternative websites depending on your use case.

What is Wayback Machine?

Wayback Machine is a platform where you can access a digital archive of the World Wide Web. It was founded by the Internet Archive, a non-profit organization. The website allows users to see how websites looked in the past by entering their URLs.

Users can look at how popular websites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Google looked in the past by using this website. Users can also access content that has been removed or changed from the Internet .

However, the Wayback Machine website can be slow or unresponsive for some web pages. We have put together a list of some of the best Wayback Machine alternative websites.

Best Wayback Machine Alternatives

• Archive.today

Archive.today is a completely free online tool that allows users to navigate to any past page and capture a screenshot. It is pretty simple to use because of its accessibility and easy-to-navigate features. However, it works a bit differently as it captures duplicate pages from both Google and Yandex.

The website also supports Javascript, visuals, page links, and social media applications.

Thanks to these features, you can access many old websites precisely as they were before. With these features, it can support more social media websites than the Wayback Machine, making it even better. Therefore, it is one of the best Wayback Machine alternative websites available.

• Memento Time Travel

Memento Time Travel is another free website that lets you visit a website at a specific moment in time. It is based on Archive.today’s API that’s why it even supports web pages with heavy visualizations. You can even look for a website at a particular time of day.

The website self-archives web pages on servers. If you search for a particular page, it will search the entire server set to look for it. It supports many aspects of a webpage, including text, images, style sheets, etc. Unlike Wayback Machine, you don’t have to worry about data loss, making it a good alternative.

Resurrect Pages/ Go Back in Time

Resurrect Pages and Go Back in Time are browser extensions that allow users to see how a specific page used to look. The extensions use a variety of page caching and archiving services. They use caches from Google, Yahoo, MSN, and Gigablast to make up their library.

These extensions also use archival services such as The Internet Archive, archive.today, and WebCite. These browser extensions are pretty convenient as users can access them just by right-clicking on a web page.

Stillio is pretty different from other Wayback Machine alternatives as it periodically makes archives of selected websites. The service makes these archives based on the settings a user has chosen. The intervals can be hourly, daily, weekly, or whatever we decide.

The website also gives the users information such as search engine indicators and SEO ranking. However, it does not support javascript and other site functions. Due to this, you may find pages with broken links and wrong graphics.

ArchiveBox is an open-source self-hosted web archive and is an excellent alternative to the Wayback Machine. A user can set up the service to preserve any website they want. ArchiveBox is much better than services like Archive.org, as it can save these websites in multiple different formats.

Once you set it up, you can sleep soundly, knowing that your web page will be preserved no matter what happens. This service is mainly used to collect, save, and view websites you want to preserve offline.

Can you Wayback Machine a Google search?

Yes, you can copy any URL and open it in the Wayback Machine. You can choose to see that web page on any date you prefer.

Is there anything else like Wayback Machine?

There are many services available that can archive every webpage on the internet. The following services are most similar to Wayback Machine.

• Time Travel
• Resurrect Pages
• Go Back in Time

5 ways to go back in time on the internet

By David Nield

Updated on Aug 6, 2023 9:30 AM EDT

5 minute read

The World Wide Web has been up and running since the early 1990s, and countless amounts of text, images, video, and audio have been uploaded since then. Run a web search today though, and it’ll likely prioritize newer pages. Not great if you’re looking for something older.

Going back in time on the internet is possible, but you need to have the right tools and techniques to dig deep into the past. Once you’ve refined your skills, you can pull up everything from your first tweet to famous web pages from the previous century.

Find old pages on the web

Run a standard Google search , and it will show you the most recent and relevant results by default, but you can change that. From the search results page, click Tools , Any time , and Custom range to look for pages published around particular dates. There’s no limit on how far you can go back, though you’ll find diminishing returns as you venture deeper into the historical archives.

Try looking for veteran politicians or long-running TV shows, but adjust the dates to 2000-2010, and you’ll see how opinions can shift dramatically when it comes to people or entertainment. If you’re looking for a specific older article, the date range tool can make the task much easier, and you can add other filters too (e.g. site:popsci.com to restrict the search to a particular domain).

This feature isn’t exclusive to Google—if you prefer the privacy-focused DuckDuckGo , click the Any time filter at the top of the screen after you run a search to get similar date range options. Unfortunately, the same custom date search feature isn’t available everyone on Bing . It used to be, but Microsoft has restricted it to news, image, and video searches. If you’re in Bing’s news tab, click the Any time dropdown menu to get date options, and if you’re in the image or video tabs, click Filter to bring up several dropdown menus, then choose Date .

In many cases, sites will render older pages using their current layout and style—presenting the old content in a new way. If you want to see sites as they were in the past, or look up pages that Google and Bing can’t reach, you can turn to the Wayback Machine . It features hundreds of billions of pages preserved exactly as they were originally published.

Type in the name of a website, like www.popsci.com , into the search box on the Wayback Machine, and you’ll see an overview of the pages saved from that domain. You can click into individual years, months, and days to see how those pages looked when they first appeared. Many of these cached pages are fully browsable too, so it’s just like surfing the web in the old days.

[Related: This free tool can reveal who is behind any internet domain ]

The Wayback Machine is the best option for pulling up older pages as they originally were, but there are alternatives. Time Travel searches smaller web archives, including those managed by Stanford and individual countries. You can also find a limited number of official and government sites archived by the US Library of Congress .

If the site you’re looking for is particularly well-known, you might find it preserved in a digital museum. The Web Design Museum has pulled together several hundred significant pages, showcasing some digital design trends of yesteryear, while the Version Museum has captured the changing style of big sites such as Amazon, Apple, Wikipedia, The New York Times , Google, and Facebook.

Find old posts on social media

Searching through older social media posts on Twitter and Facebook requires a different approach. These platforms come with built-in search features and work with a number of third-party tools that you can use to hunt back through years of social media posts, created by you or other people.

The advanced search page on Twitter lets you search for tweets based on the date they were posted (back to when Twitter launched in 2006). Besides the date, you’ll need to enter other search criteria, such as a particular user account or a keyword you want to search by.

You can use this search tool to look for your older tweets, or those made by anyone else, as long as the account is public. There are even filters for narrowing your search based on how much engagement the post got—if you’re running a search with a lot of matches, prioritizing the popular tweets can help filter out the noise.

If you want to go back to the very beginning of a Twitter account, the date an account was created is listed on the user’s profile page—that should help you focus your search. You can also request a download of your Twitter archive by opening Twitter’s settings, clicking Your account , and selecting Download an archive of your data . You may need to verify who you are before you can get the data, but once you have the archive you can open the file in your web browser and quickly get to your earliest tweet using the list of years and months.

Over on Facebook , posts are much less likely to be public and visible to everyone. You can search the posts of someone you’re friends with by opening a profile and clicking the three dots on the right, followed by Search . When you run a search, you’ll see search filters down the left-hand side, including one for Date Posted .

The same filters appear when you run a general search from the box in the top left-hand corner of the Facebook interface: Enter a keyword or two, then hit Enter to run the search. Click Posts and Date Posted to narrow the results based on year. It’s not a precise tool, but it might help you find what you’re after more quickly.

Searching your own profile is a much more surgical operation. Click the three dots on the right side of your profile, then Activity log , Your posts , and use the options that appear under Filters to look for posts from a particular date. Facebook can bring up searches you ran and posts you liked and commented on, as well as everything you posted yourself, from the selected time period.

10 WayBack Machine Alternatives

by Ronan Walsh | May 26, 2021 | Blog | 0 comments

The internet is a vast and complicated place. The average lifespan of a webpage is around 100 days before it is edited or removed (1). To keep up, your website needs to be constantly evolving. A good way to get ahead is to research successful pages that have come before you. WayBack Machine is a platform that makes accessing archived web information possible, however depending on your purposes you might want to consider more effective alternatives. Belowwe will examine the benefits to using alternatives to WayBack Machine.

• What is WayBack machine?
• Time Travel
• Archive.today
• Page Freezer
• Cached View
• Resurrect Pages

What is WayBack Machine?

WayBack Machine functions as an internet archive. It is an online platform that allows users to access content that has been published on the web that is no longer available. People normally access WayBack Machine for the purposes of examining rival business techniques and strategies. If you are creating a new website and want to explore popular websites from the past for design, navigation, and aesthetic inspiration, WayBack Machine is a very useful tool. Knowing what worked for other business can help you too!

WayBack Machine provides an insight into the history of websites, the ways in which they were created, and their function. Put simply, it is an archive of the history of websites. Because of WayBack Machine, people can access content that has been changed or deleted from the original site.

Relying on a single website to provide access to the history of the internet since 1996 is a precarious decision. That is why we will examine the pros and cons of the top 10 WayBack Machine alternatives in this article to find the best fit for your purposes. If WayBack Machine is down, you need to have an alternative ready to go for crucial decision making. As well as this, some of the alternatives offer different capabilities that may aid you in different ways. Let’s examine the features, pricing, benefits and disadvantages of the alternatives.

List of Alternatives

Time Travel is a great WayBack Machine alternative as it is free and easy to use. As the name suggests, this tool allows you to travel back in time to visit a website at a specific moment in time. This tool is built using the archive.today API, which we will explore in more detail later. The benefit of this is that it allows the user to choose from any web archive, meaning that your preferences will be catered for.

The differences between WayBack Machine and Time Travel are important. Time Travel allows users to visit web pages that have complex visualisations. This means that you can visit archived sites that have things other than text, images and stylesheets. Time Travel is a great, simple alternative to WayBack Machine if you are looking to visit previous editions of sites.

Similarto WayBack Machine and Time Travel, Archive.today is a free online tool that has a complex database and indexing system. Its increase in popularity has come from its accessibility and easy-to-navigate features. It has a bookmark feature that allows users to navigate to a page and capture a screenshot with ease. Archive.today works by storing screenshots of popular webpages, and allowing users to access one page at a time as long as it is less than 50MB. These duplicate pages remain online regardless of whether the originals are removed. Archive.today has a URL finder, similar to WayBack Machine, however it is powered by both Google and Yandex, meaning that if Google doesn’t return a search result it automatically switches to Yandex.

An advantage of using Archive.today over WayBack Machine is that it can support sites that rely heavily on Javascript, visuals, and even social media applications like Twitter. This is a huge benefit to using this platform as it allows users to have all of the information they want on almost any website they want. Another benefit of this platform is that is stores two copies of each page: one static one, and one that contains the pages links. Unlike the WayBack Machine, Archive.today does not use robots.txt files which have lead to a loss of data in the past.

Stillio’s unique selling point is that it is able to periodically capture websites via screenshots. It works by taking screenshots at regular intervals i.e. hourly, daily, weekly, or whichever interval you decide is fitting. Stillio is a good alternative to WayBack Machine as it gives more control to the user when it comes to website indicators like search engine complicate and SEO rankings.

Stillio also can interpret images and HTML which WayBack Machine struggles with. It captures PNG files of the web pages which means that it accurately depicts images, graphs, text and all other components of the webpage. This is a big difference between the two services as WayBack Machine only captures the CSS of a page and the images. It does not process Javascript or other site elements accurately. This can result in broken links or damaged graphics. Stillio PNG files can be stored remotely as the platform supports remote storage like Google Drive and other cloud services. Stillio also does not require you to visit your competitors site regularly; by checking your dashboard you can see all of the necessary information at once.

Stillio is subscription based and ranges from $29 – $299 a month depending on the plan you chose. Each plan allows you to set up a free account and explore Stillio’s features for 14 days.

• Pagefreezer

Themost interesting feature of the online platform Pagefreezer is that it utilises cloud-based technology. It specialises in making web and social media archiving simple. This is an excellent choice for any size business or organisation looking to protect their content securely, and in the best quality format. Pagefreezer is particularly suited to industries like education, finance, and retail.

Pagefreezer is one of the easiest tools to use for archiving material, as it functions out of a single portal. It can archive content for multiple sites including social media accounts with only one log-in. It is a one-stop shop for all of your archival needs. Pagefreezer is similar to WayBack Machine as it uses crawling technology. This means that your archival process is fully automated without the need for installing software. A major benefit of using this tool is that as it stores materials it authenticates them by including a time stamp and digital signature which ensures compliance with FRE and FRCP. This means that your content can be supplied to auditor if needs be. Pagefreezer unfortunately is not the most affordable option at $99 a month but it is worth it if you are looking for a reliable platform.

It’s a name that many people already recognise as being a part of the Amazon family. In terms of archiving internet material, Alexa provides a website’s browsing information and full history. Alexa is a very popular choice among the research tool options and is mostly used for analysing competitor’s information. The main benefit is that you can complete keyword research and examine site performance. This includes the duration, frequency, and patterns of user’s visits.

The differences between Alexa and WayBack Machine are numerous. Although both are slightly outdated, Alexa offers more features. Alexa provides traffic indices and ranking which WayBack Machine does not. Many businesses place a lot of faith in their “Alexa Rank”. While Alexa is not a conventional archival site, it is an excellent choice for businesses looking to do keyword research, or track the patterns of their competitor’s sites. Alexa is subscription based and begins at $149 per month.

WebCite is a free-to-use archive website that is used for preserving websites permanently. This is different to the sites we have discussed previously as it is mostly used for academia, authors, editors, and publishers. The main function of  WebCite is to preserve educational material for future access.

Unlike WayBack Machine, but similar to other alternatives, WebCite accommodates a number of formats including HTML, PDF files, images, and CSS driven pages. However it does not use web crawling. A usual WebCite reference consists of the name of an author, the title of a work, along with the original URL and WebCite URL. This ensures enduring accessibility. WebCite materials are easily accessed via these URLs making it an easy-to-navigate platform.

WebCite is made up of two different formats: opaque and transparent. Opaque can be added to a cited URL while transparent replaces the original URL. It is possible to manually include a citation in a document or upload content to the platform which will allow the WebCite software to examine the document and replace the URLs which will then be permanently archived on the platform.

Perma.cc is very different to the tools we have discussed thus far. It is an app which has been developed by the Harvard Law School Library. The function of the tool is to help users to create permanent records of websites. It has a number of features which differ from WayBack Machine which make it an interesting alternative.

Firstly, URLs can be inserted via blog or paper articles, similar to WebCite. Links can be deleted within 24 hours of their creation. One large benefit is that you can add users to any organisation by submitting their email address to the cloud-based program. The primary intention of this alternative is still the same: it allows you to visit websites and create a record of the content on that site. If the preservation does not succeed, the app also allows users to create a PDF or image file. This service can be access via a tiered subscription model.

Actiance is another great alternative to WayBack Machine. It is an app that allows users to capture and archive communications and supports more than 80 channels. The benefits of Actiance are that it captures relevant communications, and allows you to conserve and view that content on-demand. As it is a cloud-based app it is easy to navigate. The dashboard provides analytics in the form of visualised data. This allows you to identify risk and mange the value of your business’ data. The main benefit of Actiance is that it offers customisable reports. This is a good option for businesses who like their data to be interpreted in an easy-to-read manner. It is the best archival service that offers advanced and proximity searches across channels.

CacheView is a unique alternative to WayBack Machine as it allows users to access sites from Google Cache, the Coral Content Distribution Network and internet archive, in a single platform. This is the best resource for companies who prefer a tool that archives websites from different sources. CacheView is free to use, and has a Google Chrome application that allows you to read the cache folder of a Chrome browser by presenting the files that are in the cache. It is this feature that gives it its name. Cache files normally contain information on types of content, server name, server response, and URLs.

Much like CacheView, Resurrect Pages lives up to its name. This tool uses archive.org as well as other pages to bring dead website pages back to life. This includes deleted pages and broken links. This tool allows users to view old versions of competitor’s websites, alongside Google Cache content, WebCite content, and content from many other archive sites.

The main disadvantage to using Resurrect Pages is that it is a Firefox add-on meaning that it is only compatible with the Firefox search engine. While Resurrect Pages is free, its quality is dependent on the archive you are accessing through it. While it may seem like a great place to access a lot of different materials, it is difficult to judge it individually as it is bound to the origins of those materials.

We have examined many WayBack Machine alternatives in this article. Knowing the benefits and disadvantages of each tool can help you to choose the right platform for your needs. While each option varies on features, reliability, price, and accessibility, they are all solid options when it comes to WayBack Machine alternatives.

Is Time Travel Possible?

We all travel in time! We travel one year in time between birthdays, for example. And we are all traveling in time at approximately the same speed: 1 second per second.

We typically experience time at one second per second. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

NASA's space telescopes also give us a way to look back in time. Telescopes help us see stars and galaxies that are very far away . It takes a long time for the light from faraway galaxies to reach us. So, when we look into the sky with a telescope, we are seeing what those stars and galaxies looked like a very long time ago.

However, when we think of the phrase "time travel," we are usually thinking of traveling faster than 1 second per second. That kind of time travel sounds like something you'd only see in movies or science fiction books. Could it be real? Science says yes!

This image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows galaxies that are very far away as they existed a very long time ago. Credit: NASA, ESA and R. Thompson (Univ. Arizona)

How do we know that time travel is possible?

More than 100 years ago, a famous scientist named Albert Einstein came up with an idea about how time works. He called it relativity. This theory says that time and space are linked together. Einstein also said our universe has a speed limit: nothing can travel faster than the speed of light (186,000 miles per second).

Einstein's theory of relativity says that space and time are linked together. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

What does this mean for time travel? Well, according to this theory, the faster you travel, the slower you experience time. Scientists have done some experiments to show that this is true.

For example, there was an experiment that used two clocks set to the exact same time. One clock stayed on Earth, while the other flew in an airplane (going in the same direction Earth rotates).

After the airplane flew around the world, scientists compared the two clocks. The clock on the fast-moving airplane was slightly behind the clock on the ground. So, the clock on the airplane was traveling slightly slower in time than 1 second per second.

Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

Can we use time travel in everyday life?

We can't use a time machine to travel hundreds of years into the past or future. That kind of time travel only happens in books and movies. But the math of time travel does affect the things we use every day.

For example, we use GPS satellites to help us figure out how to get to new places. (Check out our video about how GPS satellites work .) NASA scientists also use a high-accuracy version of GPS to keep track of where satellites are in space. But did you know that GPS relies on time-travel calculations to help you get around town?

GPS satellites orbit around Earth very quickly at about 8,700 miles (14,000 kilometers) per hour. This slows down GPS satellite clocks by a small fraction of a second (similar to the airplane example above).

GPS satellites orbit around Earth at about 8,700 miles (14,000 kilometers) per hour. Credit: GPS.gov

However, the satellites are also orbiting Earth about 12,550 miles (20,200 km) above the surface. This actually speeds up GPS satellite clocks by a slighter larger fraction of a second.

Here's how: Einstein's theory also says that gravity curves space and time, causing the passage of time to slow down. High up where the satellites orbit, Earth's gravity is much weaker. This causes the clocks on GPS satellites to run faster than clocks on the ground.

The combined result is that the clocks on GPS satellites experience time at a rate slightly faster than 1 second per second. Luckily, scientists can use math to correct these differences in time.

If scientists didn't correct the GPS clocks, there would be big problems. GPS satellites wouldn't be able to correctly calculate their position or yours. The errors would add up to a few miles each day, which is a big deal. GPS maps might think your home is nowhere near where it actually is!

In Summary:

Yes, time travel is indeed a real thing. But it's not quite what you've probably seen in the movies. Under certain conditions, it is possible to experience time passing at a different rate than 1 second per second. And there are important reasons why we need to understand this real-world form of time travel.

Title: memento: time travel for the web.

Abstract: The Web is ephemeral. Many resources have representations that change over time, and many of those representations are lost forever. A lucky few manage to reappear as archived resources that carry their own URIs. For example, some content management systems maintain version pages that reflect a frozen prior state of their changing resources. Archives recurrently crawl the web to obtain the actual representation of resources, and subsequently make those available via special-purpose archived resources. In both cases, the archival copies have URIs that are protocol-wise disconnected from the URI of the resource of which they represent a prior state. Indeed, the lack of temporal capabilities in the most common Web protocol, HTTP, prevents getting to an archived resource on the basis of the URI of its original. This turns accessing archived resources into a significant discovery challenge for both human and software agents, which typically involves following a multitude of links from the original to the archival resource, or of searching archives for the original URI. This paper proposes the protocol-based Memento solution to address this problem, and describes a proof-of-concept experiment that includes major servers of archival content, including Wikipedia and the Internet Archive. The Memento solution is based on existing HTTP capabilities applied in a novel way to add the temporal dimension. The result is a framework in which archived resources can seamlessly be reached via the URI of their original: protocol-based time travel for the Web.

Rabies Pre-exposure Prophylaxis

• Pre-exposure vaccination is recommended for persons who work directly with animals that could have rabies
• Also, those who travel to parts of the world where rabies is common and access to medical care is limited.

Pre-exposure vaccination (PrEV)

Most people in the United States have a low risk of encountering an animal with rabies. However, a small subset of people have a higher level of risk, like those who work directly with animals that could have rabies, or those who travel to parts of the world where rabies is common and access to medical care is limited. These people should receive rabies pre-exposure vaccination (PrEV), a series of rabies vaccine doses given before exposure to the rabies virus.

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) develops U.S. recommendations about how and when to use vaccines to prevent disease in the United States, including how to prevent rabies in people. ACIP updated rabies vaccine recommendations in May 2022, which are summarized below:

Updates to the ACIP recommendations to prevent human rabies, 2022

• A 2-dose PrEV schedule has replaced the 3-dose PrEV schedule to protect people from rabies for up to 3 years. Options for maintaining protection beyond 3 years are also described.
• Risk categories have been redefined into 5 risk groups.
• The minimum acceptable laboratory value (antibody titer) used to determine whether rabies vaccine booster doses are needed was revised and standardized.
• Many people for whom serial titers were recommended every 2 years now require only a one-time titer (and booster if below a certain level) OR a one-time booster.

Clinical guidance for administering PrEV to people with weakened immune systems has been outlined and includes recommendations to confirm that the vaccine was effective.

Risk category

Who this typically* affects

Recommendations

Risk category 1 Highest risk

People who work with live or concentrated rabies virus in laboratories

2 doses, days 0 and 7

• Check titer every 6 months

Risk category 2

People who frequently do at least one of the following: handle bats, have contact with bats, enter high-density bat environments like caves, or perform animal necropsies

• Check titer every 2 years

Risk category 3

People who interact with, or are at higher risk to interact, with mammals other than bats that could be rabid, for a period longer than three years after they receive PrEP.

This group includes:

• Most veterinarians, veterinary technicians, animal control officers, wildlife biologists, rehabilitators, trappers, and spelunkers (cave explorers)
• Certain travelers to regions outside of the United States where rabies in dogs is commonly found

2 doses, days 0 and 7, plus:

• Either a one-time titer check after 1 year and up to 3 years following the first 2-dose vaccination
• 1-dose booster between 3 weeks and 3 years following the first vaccine in the 2-dose vaccination

Risk category 4

Same population as risk category 3, but at a higher risk for ≤ three years after they receive PrEV

Risk category 5 Lowest risk

General U.S. population

* The typical characteristics described may not include the characteristics of all activities that fall within the described risk group.

For detailed information about these recommendations, please refer to the published MMWR .

Rabies is a preventable viral disease of mammals usually transmitted through the bite of an infected animal.
