Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Internet Archive Wayback Machine Link Fixer
Sadly at present, it is not fully compatible. The only way it can currently be used on multisite is to only enable it site-wide and not network-wide. We plan to resolve this in the next release.
Your content is checked for any links. When it finds a link it will check if we have already handled this link before, if not, it will find or create a snapshot of the webpage on the Internet Archive. Then if later that link's target site goes offline, we can change the link to the archived version.
We use a similar policy as Wikipedia. We check links once per week and if we get 3 consecutive errors, we treat the link as broken, unless the target website comes back.
Sadly not, some sites do not allow the Internet Archive to archive their content.
Yes, you can enable the Auto Archiver and this will create new snapshots every time you make changes.
This all depends on how many links there are within your content. This is all handled in the background but can take many weeks if a site has thousands of links. It is best used as a tool you setup and leave running in the background.
As this is all processed behind the scenes, in custom tables it should not add any noticeable overhead to your site.
While you don't need one, it will greatly increase the number of snapshots you can create in a day.
If the Internet Archive services go offline, the link fixer will delay all processes by 24 hours and try again later.
Existing content is sent to the Wayback Machine in batch when the plugin is activated, then again every 30 days (by default, but can be changed). New content is sent to be archived shortly after it is published. Updates to existing content also trigger updates to be sent to the Wayback Machine.
