This is one more essential tool which is primary with Wayback machine.

People who are not aware of Wayback machine, I am once again explaining it here.

Wayback machine is a web Archive Machine which stores the websites. Not all the website will be stored in Wayback Machine.

Sites who have good traffic and authority will be saved here.

Because, if the site is visible to the user and have backlinks, then only Wayback machine can find the site.

Once your site is archived there, They Wayback machine copy your site every time you make the change on the site.

It will help you to see the historical changes of websites.
