Web Archive is not working — what to try

  1. 1

    Check the app as well as the website

    Mobile apps and the website often run on different infrastructure. If Web Archive fails in the app but works at web.archive.org in a browser, an app update or a cache clear inside the app usually resolves it.

  2. 2

    Confirm the problem is not your connection

    Open any other site. If nothing loads, the issue is your network rather than Web Archive. On Windows run ping web.archive.org and nslookup web.archive.org in Command Prompt; on macOS or Linux use Terminal. A DNS failure and a server failure look identical in a browser but are very different problems.

  3. 3

    Bypass your own cache

    Load web.archive.org in a private or incognito window. If it works there, clear cookies and site data for web.archive.org in your normal browser rather than clearing everything.

  4. 4

    Try a different network

    Switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data, or vice versa. Regional ISP routing problems are common and often affect one carrier while others are unaffected.
