Archivarix Cache Viewer - Quick Access to Cached Web Pages

🔹 What Is Archivarix Cache Viewer?

A browser extension for instantly viewing cached and archived versions of any web page. Access historical snapshots from multiple web archives with one click - no more manual URL copying or searching through archive websites.

⭐ View cached pages in 6 major web archives
⭐ Right-click context menu on any page, link, or selected text
⭐ Open all archives simultaneously with one click
⭐ Special domain buyer mode for expired domain research

🔸 How It Works

The extension adds convenient access to web archives directly from your browser:
  1. Click the extension icon or right-click on any webpage
  2. Select your preferred archive from the menu
  3. View the cached version instantly in a new tab

Works with full URLs, links you hover over, or domain names you select in text.

🔹 Supported Web Archives

Access cached content from the most comprehensive digital preservation services:

✔️ Wayback Machine - Internet Archive's massive collection of web snapshots
✔️ Yandex Cache - Russian search engine's cached pages with auto-redirect
✔️ Archive.is - Archive.today service for permanent page snapshots
✔️ Arquivo.pt - Portuguese Web Archive with extensive European content
✔️ GhostArchive - Alternative archive for social media and news
✔️ Archive-It - Internet Archive's curated web collections

Each archive has different coverage - checking multiple sources increases your chances of finding cached content.

🔸 Perfect For Researchers and Professionals

The extension serves anyone who needs access to historical web content:

• SEO Specialists - Analyze competitor website changes and historical content
• Digital Marketers - Research brand mentions and campaign history
• Journalists - Verify sources and access removed articles
• Historians - Study web evolution and digital culture
• Developers - Debug issues by comparing page versions
• Legal Professionals - Document evidence from web pages

🔹 Domain Buyer Mode

Special feature for expired domain investors and researchers:

When enabled, the extension automatically detects domain names on popular domain marketplace sites:

✅ ExpiredDomains.net - Largest expired domain database
✅ Backorder.ru - Russian domain aftermarket
✅ DropCatch.com - Domain catching and auction service

Hover over a domain listing and right-click to check its archive history instantly.

🔸 Context Menu Integration

Access archives from anywhere with the right-click menu:

• On any webpage - Check cache for current page URL
• On any link - View archived version of linked page
• On selected text - Extract domain and check its history

Choose individual archives or open all simultaneously for comprehensive research.

🔹 Yandex Cache Auto-Redirect

Unique feature: when you select Yandex Cache, the extension opens Yandex search, automatically finds the cached page URL, and redirects you directly to the cached content. No manual searching required. Note: Yandex may show a captcha on first use - solve it once to access cached pages.

🔸 Common Use Cases

Check if Wayback Machine or Archive.is has a recent snapshot to access the content you need.

When content was deleted:
Removed articles, posts, or pages often remain in web archives. Check multiple services to find preserved copies.
