Download websites that use LiveJournal

A platform that dates to 1999 and was built in Perl belongs to an era of the web with different assumptions: pages assembled on the server, communities organised around a site rather than a feed, and identity tied to a journal instead of a profile. LiveJournal comes from that period and is filed here under Blogs, supplied by SUP Media under a Proprietary licence.

Age changes what a detection means. In most categories, finding a technology on a site tells you what somebody installed recently. For software of this vintage the same finding usually tells you the opposite, that a page has survived, been left in place, or been carried through redesigns nobody wanted to fund. Longevity signals are useful to anyone studying web decay, link rot or the long tail of the public web, and close to useless as a buying signal.

Detection has a structural quirk worth spelling out. A hosted journal platform keeps most of its content on its own domain, and content living there is not an independent site in the way our index counts sites. So a marker appearing on some other domain means one of a few specific things: a custom domain mapped onto the hosted service, an export of the platform's markup preserved on a self-hosted page, or an embedded widget pulling journal content into a different site. Reading the count without that distinction in mind will mislead you.

As of November 2026 the marker sits at 1 site. A figure like that reflects the counting rule above far more than it reflects how much writing the platform still hosts, and our data makes no claim about the latter. Our record likewise says nothing about where the company behind SUP Media operates, so ownership history read elsewhere is outside what this page can support.

The research value is mostly historical, and historical work is a real use. Anyone measuring how long web software survives in the wild, tracing where an era's platforms ended up, or auditing a link corpus for content that will vanish when a legacy service is retired needs the full domain list rather than a lookup on a domain they already suspect. The export gives every domain carrying the marker on a stated crawl date, with the rest of each site's stack alongside, which is what makes it possible to see what old platforms are running next to, and how much of the surrounding page has moved on without them.
