archive.today — X / Facebook
archive.today used specifically for X and Facebook pages that the Wayback crawler often cannot reach, holding tens of millions of on-demand snapshots. Existence is checked through its Memento timemap, and you open the saved snapshot via a direct link. It is valuable for social pages other archives miss, though the snapshot pages can rate-limit and it has faced regional blocks in 2026.

Why it’s useful & how it works
Same as the Wave 1 archive.today entry: HTML 429, TimeMap 200 both ways. 2026: Wikipedia-EN link ban (Feb), Russia block (Mar). Use TimeMap + non-Cloudflare DNS.
What’s inside
Undisclosed; tens of millions+ snapshots.
