The error message you're encountering, "Welcome to nginx!", typically indicates that the web server (Nginx in this case) is functioning, but something is misconfigured or not properly routed. Here's a breakdown of possible causes and solutions for this error, particularly related to using Archive.today with multiple tabs open and saving multiple webpages:

1. Overloaded or Rate-Limited Server
- Possible Cause: Archive.today could be rate-limiting requests when you attempt to save multiple pages simultaneously. Web servers often implement rate limiting or protection mechanisms (like blocking or limiting connections) to prevent abuse, excessive server load, or spamming.
- Solution: The simplest fix would be to avoid opening multiple tabs and saving many pages in a short period of time. You could also try waiting for a while before trying again or only saving one page at a time.

2. Cookie or Session Conflicts
- Possible Cause: When you try to save multiple pages from multiple tabs, your session or cookies for Archive.today might get corrupted or overloaded. This could cause the server to return a default Nginx page, as it might fail to authenticate or maintain a session due to conflicting cookies or session data.
- Solution: Clearing the cookies (as you've mentioned) temporarily fixes the issue because it resets your session. The developer could fix this by optimizing the session handling or using a more robust cookie/session management system.

3. Server Configuration or Load Balancer Issues
- Possible Cause: The nginx web server might not be properly handling simultaneous requests or may not be configured to allow multiple connections from the same user or IP address. If the server is behind a load balancer or has specific rules set up to throttle or block multiple requests, this can trigger the default Nginx page when the server cannot handle the incoming traffic.
- Solution: The developer could review the Nginx configuration settings (like connection limits, rate limiting, or load balancing rules) to ensure that multiple requests from the same user or IP address do not cause issues.

4. Proxy or Firewall Interference
- Possible Cause: If you are using a VPN, proxy, or a network firewall, it could interfere with your connection to the Archive.today server. This might result in connections being misrouted, timed out, or blocked, leading to the default Nginx page.
- Solution: Try disabling any VPN or proxy and accessing the site directly to see if that resolves the issue. The developer could also check their firewall rules or proxy setup to ensure they aren't inadvertently blocking legitimate users.

5. Inconsistent Handling of User-Agent or HTTP Requests
- Possible Cause: Archive.today might be interpreting multiple tab requests from the same browser as one user session, which could trigger a misconfiguration in the server. Some servers are configured to expect only a certain pattern of HTTP requests, and unexpected or bulk requests could confuse the server or trigger an error.
- Solution: The developer could adjust the server configuration to better handle such cases or implement better error handling for batch requests from users.

6. Cache or Resource Exhaustion
- Possible Cause: The server could be hitting a cache limit or exhausting some resource (e.g., memory, threads) when handling multiple requests at once. This could cause it to fail to process requests correctly and show the default nginx page.
- Solution: The developer could implement better resource management, adjust cache settings, or optimize the server for handling multiple concurrent requests.

Possible Fixes for the Developer:
1. Optimize Session Handling: Review session management and ensure multiple requests from the same user or IP do not interfere with each other.
2. Improve Rate Limiting: If rate-limiting is in place, the developer can adjust it to be more lenient or provide better error messages.
3. Configure Nginx Properly: Review the Nginx configuration for handling simultaneous requests, and adjust settings related to worker processes, connection limits, etc.
4. Error Handling and Redundancy: Ensure better error handling on the server side, especially when multiple requests are made in a short time frame.
5. Cache and Resource Management: Implement better cache management strategies to prevent resource exhaustion, especially when handling bulk requests.

In the meantime, if you're using Archive.today frequently, try to avoid batch-saving multiple pages from different tabs at once to mitigate the issue.
