Managed to get access to Marvel Rivals' alpha? Make sure you don't criticise it, as that contract you signed doesn't let you (web.archive.org)

On the contrary, I wish more people would do it.

How is it mobile incompatible? What browser are you on

They serve the desktop html to everyone. Text either doesn't fit the screen or you need to zoom out and then it's too small to read.

And the time difference is significant too. 1-2.5s original site, 3-10+s archive. It's a worse experience, especially if you have adblock on.

What's wrong with giving the original link as default? That way not only would everyone have a good experience (and those who use adblock or a proxy / custom front-end etc would get the experience they expect), but all that traffic wouldn't unnecessarily burden the chosen archive site neither. Again, put it in the body if you want.
