Cloudflare and Internet Archive have joined forces to archive more of the public web, touting it would make the web more reliable.

As part of this joint effort, websites that use Cloudflare's Always Online service will be able to allow the web infrastructure company to share their hostname and URLs with Internet Archive's Wayback Machine so their website can be automatically archived.
When a site is down, Cloudflare will then be able to retrieve the most recently archived version from Internet Archive so that a site's content can be accessed by users.

According to Internet Archive, more than 468 billion web pages are available via the Wayback Machine to date.

Internet Archive: Cloudflare and the Wayback Machine, joining forces for a more reliable Web

We archive URLs that are identified via a variety of different methods, such as “crawling” from lists of millions of sites, as submitted by users via the Wayback Machine’s “Save Page Now” feature, added to Wikipedia articles, referenced in Tweets, and based on a number of other “signals” and sources, such multiple feeds of “news” stories.

An additional source of URLs we will preserve now originates from customers of Cloudflare’s Always Online service. As new URLs are added to sites that use that service they are submitted for archiving to the Wayback Machine. In some cases this will be the first time a URL will be seen by our system and result in a “First Archive” event.
In all cases those archived URLs will be available to anyone who uses the Wayback Machine.
