Dead pages, broken links, the scourge of the internet.
|
|
|
|
|
Powerhouse sites like Slashdot and Digg can bring a server to its knees.
|
|
|
|
|
What do we do when a page is dead but we still want to see it?
|
|
|
|
|
Call in the clerics, and perform a resurrection ceremony!

Or (the easier route) use this extension.

Of course, not every page can be in every cache.
|
|
|
|
|
When a page is unavailable, you'll generally see that site's error page.

Hit back and try another one!

|
|
* Accessible:

|
|
