// HOW THE ARCHIVE WORKS

🌐 Continuous Crawling

Our distributed botnet scans millions of domains daily, capturing HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, and media exactly as they render in period-accurate browsers.

📅 Temporal Indexing

Every page is versioned and timestamped. Jump between any saved date to see how a site evolved, expanded, or vanished over time.

🛡️ Immutable Storage

Archived data is written once, verified with SHA-256 hashes, and replicated across three geographically distributed data centers for permanent preservation.
