I created a CraftCMS plugin to automatically backup your website to archive.org.

Still needs some testing, with multi-site for example, but will be in the CraftCMS store eventually. The idea + submission mechanic is based on an official WordPress plugin by @archive.org

Here is Archive Accelerator.
A first rough release for macOS.

Heads up:

The @sistrix.com API silently dropped the device type field from the response for the optimizer.keyword.serps endpoint. (Started somewhere between 2026-02-16 and 2026-02-24.)

Had a lot of fun today.

If you change a robots "noindex" directive to "index" via JavaScript, good chance Google won't ever render the JavaScript after they see the "noindex" in your HTML 🚫

"noindex" in HTML remains noindex

I have just released a new script from my archive: Abros Sitemap Finder

Discovers XML/TXT sitemap files on websites. Useful when the sitemap of a third-party site is not linked in the robots.txt file. Battle tested over years, works like a charm.
