Cloudflare and the Internet Archive are working together to archive even more public web, saying it will make the web more reliable.
As part of this joint effort, websites using Cloudflare's Always Online service will be able to allow the internet infrastructure company to share hostnames and URLs with the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine so that the webσελίδα them to be archived automatically.
When one website is down, Cloudflare will then be able to retrieve the most recently archived version from the Internet Archive so that a site's content is accessible to users.
"The Internet Archive Wayback Machine has an impressive infrastructure that can archive the web on a scale," said Matthew Prince, CEO and co-founder of Cloudflare.
"Working together, we can take another step towards making the internet more resilient by stopping server problems for our customers and this in turn will help when a business goes down on Internet".
According to the Internet Archive, more than 468 billion websites are available to date through the Wayback Machine.
“We archive URLs identified through a variety of different methods, such as crawling lists of millions of user-submitted websites through the Wayback Machine's Save This Page Now function. The service collects addresses from its articles Wikipedia, Tweets, and relies on a number of other “signals” and sources, such as news feeds. An additional source of URLs we will have will come from customers of Cloudflare's Cloud Online service," says Wayback Machine director Mark Graham in a Publication on the blog.
