The Wayback Machine can sometimes experience delays in registering snapshots made using the Save Page Now tool. Our website replays pages only after they’ve been saved (indexed) by our system. We use several different indexes and each one covers a different time period.
Sometimes a web page that gets added quickly to our near-real-time index used by our Save Page Now service may be removed from that index before it gets stored in one of our longer-term indexes. When that happens, you might see a page available to view for a short time—maybe a few hours or days—but then it disappears for a while. It will become available again once it’s added to a longer-term index.
Rest assured that the snapshot was still captured at the time you requested— we appreciate your patience while you wait! If you are still unable to view a snapshot you took after some time, please reach out to [email protected] with relevant details.
