Use Archive.ph instead of Archive.is

Open holygamer opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

I've used Archive.is to archive a webpage and it archived fine. Then several days later I've visited the archive link and the page won't display. I then changed the archived URL to archive.ph and the page displayed. Could you please add an option to archive with archive.ph or allow us to change which archive.is URL is used for the button. Thanks

What did you see instead of the archive link? Was it an error?

Or are you in a country that blocks archive.is? I will change the default URL as archive.is is blocked in some countries: https://blog.archive.today/post/188786039191/archiveis-and-archivetoday-arent-working-i

Thanks for reporting.

I'm in the UK. As per my original post, I archive a page and it's given me an Archive.is URL. Several days later I visit the archived URL and the page won't display. From what I remember the top part of the page that is the Archive.is frame - that part displays but the actual archived page - nothing shows. I then simply change the already archived URL from a .is to a .ph and the page displays.

I could try archiving a different page with Archive.is and it works. So it's not blocked. If it was blocked no part of the the archive.is website would load at all.
