I thought Cloudflare was going to provide "Always Online" access to Internet Archive https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflares-always-online-and-the-internet-arc

  Other way around! Cloudflare can optionally load your site from IA if it's down.

    If that's the case, I hope CF is making a big, periodic, donation to IA for the business value provided.

      Ideally, CF would keep track of exactly how many redirects they do to IA, and donate based on the usage. Would be more fair for everyone involved.

        Cloudflare willingly keeps CSAM and animal abuse sites online even when reported, the least they can do is cut IA a fat check every month.

      My intuition is that there's a mutually beneficial deal hammered out behind the scenes and that CF isn't just eating poor IA's lunch.

    Do you happen to remember how you learned this? I'm quite skeptical of it.

  That is about us using the Internet Archive to show a snapshot of a page from the Internet Archive when the origin server is down.

    Will CF be funding IA for using the service so extensively?
