By re-registering the domain on which this or that Internet project was previously located, many webmasters ask themselves the question: how can you still find out the history of a site, see what design and content was on it? This question is quite pertinent, since the term of registration of a domain name directly affects the promotion of a site in search engines. The older the site is, the easier it is to promote it.
It is necessary
- - a computer;
- - Internet connection;
- - browser.
Instructions
Step 1
There is a special web archive on the Internet - a kind of time machine. It stores all changes to the site over several years. All you have to do is follow the link https://www.archive.org/web/web.php. You will see a search form in which you can enter the name of the site you are interested in
Step 2
If you write in the search field, for example, the name of the site KakProsto.ru, then click on the Take Me Back button, which in English means "take me back". The result will be something like the attached screenshot
Step 3
Thanks to this web archive, you will be able to trace the entire history of the development of the site, not only by year, but also by month. Try clicking on the number highlighted in blue. You will see a picture of how the site looked at a certain period of time. In doing so, you will be able to appreciate its design and content. At the end of 2008, the site KakProsto.ru looked exactly the same as shown in the figure
Step 4
Using this impromptu "time machine", you can even see what the main page of the site of the most popular search engine in the world - Google looked like. To do this, just type google.com in the search box of the web archive. By clicking on 1998, you can trace that the first activity of this domain name was recorded on November 11, 1998. And by clicking on December 2 of the same year, you will see what this search engine was like at that distant time. There was even a subscription to E-Mail updates
Step 5
If you need to find out the true history of a site, then you will hardly find a better service on the Internet than a web archive. Plus, it's completely free. This "time machine" will give you up-to-date statistics on the saving of the site you requested. Unfortunately, the database does not contain absolutely all Internet projects, but most of them are there for sure.
