How to find lost web pages ?


When you search for a keyword ,you come across a page you finally found suitable ,and then clicking on the page to know that page is gone. There are several reasons like servers get jammed, pages are removed, or servers not maintained well.
*Dealing with server jamming

Some sites like bloggers, wordpress can’t handle the traffic influx from having a show up on Slashdot or digg. This effect is called as Slashdot effect, coral cache has the solution to this problem .


Coral Cache
Coral cache is a free service which uses distributed computing to deal with “slashdot effect”. It provides a mirror link for the pages that can’t handle the high traffic volume.

What you need to do is , just append .nyud.net to the end of the regular URL and you can view the page in coral cache rather than directly connecting.

It won’t be fast comparing with direct URL , click here to view (wikispace.in) , coral version ( wikispace.in on coral)

*Finding content that has been removed

If a web page has been removed or deleted by its publisher , you can still find it by using the web’s longer term caching series

Google cache

 As a new web page are created, search engines crawl the content and make a fresh cache of the web page. To access a page which are in google cache, you just need to search a page, if it’s still in google cache ,you’ll see a little link which leads to the page as it looked the last time google indexed it.

In some cases, the publisher would have replaced the old content with a new one. So when the google crawl the web page ,it replaces with the new one. In that case , you may be out of luck , but for those, here is one more method to try.

The WayBack Machine

The internet archive is a non-profit organization , it goals is to build a library that could offer permanent access the web page for researchers, historians and scholars. It is impossible to index every page you look for, but it tries its best to give you the page you seek.

The WayBack Machine is the internet archive’s search engine. It searches for the pages that has been published at the URL over time, by this way you can find the removed or deleted or even pages which are updated.
