How to see a website that no longer exists or a previous version?

Many times we need to see what a website was like a few months ago or even to see a website that no longer exists, for this we have different free tools:

The Wayback Machine

Accessing archive.org we can enter the URL we want to view and this will show us a bar with the calendar and the available versions of this website.

Archive.org calendar bar

In the lower calendar we can select the exact day of the available ones that we want to see the version of the website and by moving the cursor over the day it shows us the available hours of the versions that we can view the content of this website on that day and selected time.

Google Box

We can use Google to see a previous version of a website by performing the search and deploying the arrow next to the title of the website we want to view, clicking on “In box”.

These tools are very useful for viewing previous versions, although in some cases the ones we want may not be available.
