First seen date, snapshots & Internet Archive links — free, no login.

The Wayback Machine is a service by the Internet Archive (archive.org) that has been crawling and archiving websites since 1996. It stores over 800 billion web pages and allows anyone to browse historical versions of any URL.
NameHub's Wayback History tool queries the Archive's CDX API to show when a domain was first crawled, the most recent snapshot, and links to recent archived versions. This is especially useful when researching dropped domains or verifying a site's history before purchase. Share lookups with /tools/wayback.php?domain=example.com.
It queries the Internet Archive's CDX API and returns the domain's first captured date, the most recent snapshot date, and recent snapshot links — so you can browse archived versions of the site.
New domains, low-traffic sites, or domains that blocked the Wayback Machine crawler (via robots.txt) may have no archive history. The Internet Archive started crawling the web in 1996.
Domain history helps you verify what a domain was previously used for — checking for spam, adult content, or brand conflicts before purchasing a dropped domain.
The CDX API returns a sample of snapshots. Not every page or crawl is indexed — the full archive at archive.org may contain more snapshots than this tool returns.
