Necrolink

Link rot is the web's dead tech: hyperlinks that point at pages that no longer exist. Necrolink measures the rot on a real corpus and resurrects the dead through the Wayback Machine.

We ask the Wayback Machine for the page's first and most recent snapshots. No liveness check from your browser — just the archive.
