About Internet Archive
The Internet Archive is a non-profit digital library known for the Wayback Machine, which stores copies of web pages since 1996, along with books, audio and video. archive.org is used to read pages that were deleted or changed. Because it keeps copies of content that a country may block, archive.org has itself been restricted in several countries. It has also had outages after cyberattacks, which affected all countries at once.

Frequently asked questions
Is Internet Archive down right now?
Not for most of the world. In our latest check on 14 November 2026, 02:56 UTC archive.org opened from 83 of 84 countries. If it does not open for you, the cause is more likely local: your provider, your network or a restriction in your country. Run a new check to see the current result for your country.
Why does Internet Archive not open in my country?
When archive.org works in other countries but not in yours, there are three usual reasons: a restriction ordered by authorities, filtering by your provider, or a network problem between your provider and Internet Archive. A different security certificate, a reset connection or a wrong address from DNS are typical signs of filtering; a timeout can be either filtering or a network fault.
How is archive.org checked?
From measurement points in about 90 countries we look up the address of archive.org with the local DNS and open a secure connection to it, checking that the site returns its own certificate. We do not load the page content, and we do not publish which networks the measurements came from.
