== Description ==<br />
According to the ArchiveReady website: "ArchiveReady is a web application that checks if a website is archivable. This means to check if it is easy for web archiving projects to access and preserve it. In order to check this, ArchiveReady validates a number of web page characteristics such as standards compliance and accessibility".<br />
<br />
ArchiveReady evaluates the components of a web site according to four different criterias, called facets:<br />
* Accessibility<br />
* Cohesion<br />
* Metadata<br />
* Standards Compliance<br />
<br />
Among others the following components are checked:<br />
*HTML & CSS<br />
*HTTP headers<br />
*Embedded media<br />
*Sitemap<br />
*Robots.txt<br />
<br />
ArchiveReady covers two important branches of web archiving: the archiving process itself and long term preservation. The information given by ArchiveReady can help to optimize the crawling process and allows considerations towards the preservation of the archived data.<br />
ArchiveReady also provides an API. Large scale use and support is available on a fee. Personal use is free of charge.<br />
