Interesting to see that Google are adding links to the way back machine under the about us bit, see https://mastodon.social/@searchliaison/113119939150725261

Here's a little trick, if you want to see the archived page without the internet archive bit injected & links rewritten, add:

id_

After the date string in the URL and youll get the html as it was crawled. Don't forget to tip your friendly, hyper useful, internet archive! https://archive.org/donate/

Internet Archive: Digital Library of Free & Borrowable Texts, Movies, Music & Wayback Machine

Loving this new Local & Field Metrics panel in Canary Chrome's devtool > Performance panel.
To enable it:
- open devtools, click the settings cog in the top right
- choose Experiments on the left hand menu
- find "Performance Panel - enable live metrics landing page" & tick it

You'll be invited to reload devtool, after which if you open it whilst looking at a page, & navigate to the performance panel, you'll see live local data, & optionally real user metrics from CrUX.

@methode
and co added a new library to the awesome open source Google robots txt parser We've added it to @jammer_volts
& mine's robots.txt tool here: https://tamethebots.com/tools/robotstxt-checker

The last column now shows robots.txt status, lines parsed, How many valid directives that robots.txt file has, and any ones that are not understood, for each URL tested.

The vertical layout (or portrait) can make the chart a little hard to read sometimes, so I have added a toggle to switch this chart to horizontal if you prefer
CrUX has added navigation types to the data (https://developer.chrome.com/blog/crux-navigation-types#crux-history-api) so I've added them to my free cwv history tool here: https://tamethebots.com/tools/cwv-history
Navigation types now available in CrUX  |  Blog  |  Chrome for Developers

Learn about the new navigation_types metric in the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) and how it can be used to explain and optimize your web performance metrics.
