Archive.today seems to be one of the most viable alternatives to the Wayback Machine, yet it doesn't feel right. There's literaly no information about who owns the site, where the money comes from and there are several downsides which make it more or less another half-working archive stuck in the 90s.

Fantastic user-friendly archiving tool. I use the chrome extension constantly. Just remember to clean-up the URL to have it work well if e.g you're getting a news article from Facebook or Twitter you should cut the URL down to just what is needed!

If you are a webdeveloper you should know about this app. Because its important to save your work in the event the company you work for decides to change website you work on etc (saving portfolio)
Also, for saving webpages, its best in its class
Alternatives are like
SingleFile which works on the client side, but is not exactly 100% reliable though and is better for things behind login paywalls
Otherwise, archive.is is best in class for server-based downloading of webpages
Its also support by
Reddit Enhancement Suite as well, many times used to save someones deleted twitter, reddit, or facebook posts, etc
Is similar to app
Wayback Machine
Also other pros: You can download entire zip file of a webpage too. Super useful if you want a non-online version of notes stored on your mobile phone, perhaps you have job interview and need to show portfolio but have no internet in some locations, etc. Useful for versioning control data as well too
Dead and will not load. I believe it's been down for some time.
It was good while it wasted. :(
Archive.is seems to working just fine, three months later. I did notice a little hiccup in service a few weeks ago, but it appears to have been resolved as of today.
It's definitely down for me: https://i.imgur.com/sTJWMM8.png :( As of Jan 17 2019.
Interesting...when I type in archive.is, it automatically redirects me to archive.fo, and has been doing that for a while.
Also, this might shed some light on the problem:

https://archive.fo/y5JBA
Oh, really? Huh. I've had no redirects, actually. I tried .fo, too: https://i.imgur.com/yur8eh6.png Tried in Chrome and Firefox, plus Safari on iOS. That's crazy. Checking it here, https://www.uptrends.com/tools/uptime , shows that some servers are working, while others show "Http Secure Channel Failure" and "TCP Connection Failed".

Managed to pull out a page that wasn't available in Wayback Machine. Thank you.

Quick and easy webpage archiving. Extremely useful for preserving important information online quickly.
