How old is this website?

The Internet Archive has been photographing the web since 1996. Enter a domain and get its life story: first capture, one snapshot per year, and the years that went missing.

Data comes live from the Internet Archive. Big domains can take a few seconds.

What this returns

True age

The first time the Internet Archive ever captured the domain, which is usually close to when the site went live.

One snapshot per year

A year-by-year timeline with a direct link to each capture on web.archive.org. Watch the redesigns happen.

Gaps in the record

Years where the archive saw nothing. Long gaps often mean downtime, a domain change, or a robots.txt that blocked archiving.

Bragging rights

Whether the site is older than YouTube, the iPhone, or ChatGPT. Useful in exactly one kind of argument.
