Please don't ever treat archive.org as a free CDN, they are a public library in need of your support, not free hosting for your side-project. There are enough free resources (e.g. Github Pages, Netlify, Cloudflare...) that are better suited for this task.

They're talking about link rot, not hosting for the website itself.

Exactly.

I think I actually meant to reply to dreadlordbone's comment, where they implied image hotlinking - "it loads slower" because archive.org is not a CDN.
