- Some websites are excluded from the Wayback Machine for several reasons:
- Password-Protected Pages: Sites that require a password to access are not archived.
- Form-Based Navigation: Pages that are only accessible by typing into and submitting a form are excluded.
- Secure Servers: Pages on secure servers (HTTPS) may not be archived.
- Robots Exclusions: Websites can use a robots.txt file to instruct web crawlers not to archive certain parts of the site.
- Direct Requests: Some site owners request that their sites be excluded from the Wayback Machine.
- These exclusions help ensure that the Wayback Machine respects the privacy and security measures of individual websites.
- Does this help clarify why some sites might be missing from the archive?
