Greetings!

Using the most popular social network VKontakte, you might think about how long both your page and someone else’s page exist from the moment of registration. In the VK profile interface this information There is no place to emphasize that the developers did not provide for this possibility. However, this does not mean that this information cannot be found out.

In fact, information about the duration of existence of the page (profile) of any VKontakte user is not a secret and can be easily found out. One of the methods will be discussed below.

Find out how long our or the VK profile we are interested in has existed

To find out this information you do not need to download or install anything. A corresponding and very convenient tool is available in VK itself - this is the “I’m online” application. It can be found and launched through the “Games” menu, which is located in the side menu of the VKontakte profile. You can also quickly access it by

You can easily find out the age of the site, the age of the domain. There are a number of services for this, which we will talk about now. Let's look at Whois services and an interesting site for obtaining domain age data.

1. Prlog.ru - comprehensive information about the site and domain.

Go to the website prlog.ru, enter the domain you are interested in in the “Site Analysis” field and click on the “Analysis” button.

Well, now everything is clear - the site is 1 year old. The data is not very accurate, do you want to get information right up to the domain registration date? Read below then.

2. Whois service - all information about the domain.

There are quite a lot of such services, here are examples:

• whois-service.ru
• nic.ru/whois/
• whois.net
• reg.ru/whois/

And all of them allow you to obtain information about the age of the site’s domain.

Go to one of the sites listed above, enter the name of the domain you are interested in and press enter. You will get information similar to this:

Domain Name:website Domain ID: D167248978-LROR Creation Date: 2012-12-01T19:48:09Z Updated Date: 2013-12-13T00:20:18Z Registry Expiry Date: 2014-12-01T19:48:09Z Sponsoring Registrar: Registrar of Domain Names REG.RU LLC (R1943-LROR) Sponsoring Registrar IANA ID: 1606

Now everything is clear, the domain was registered on December 1, 2012 and paid for until December 1, 2014. The domain name registrar is Reg.ru or their partner company (in my case it is 2domains.ru).

In this simple way you can always find out the age of the site. Although it would be more accurate to say domain, because the site could sometimes be on another domain, and sometimes the domain gathers dust without use for a couple of years, and then the site starts working on it. These are somewhat different things - the age of the site and the age of the domain, remember this.

This is useful to know:

1. Have you found an interesting site and want to understand how many people visit this site every day? Do you want to determine...
2. We are creating a website in order to share any information with people, organize our platform in...

The tool will help you quickly find out the date when Yandex first found the pages being checked during indexing. You can check both website pages and, for example, the age of a VKontakte page. The tool can check the age of up to 50 pages at a time.

Why determine the age of pages?

The age of a document is an important ranking factor for promotion in search engine results. The value is used by experienced optimizers to conduct a comparative analysis of age with pages from the TOP-10 results for the required request in search engine Yandex.

Page age and site age are completely different things that should not be confused. To determine the age of a site, check the age of its home page or . The great age of the site itself, of course, affects the initial trustworthiness of new pages, but it is the age of the page itself that determines its location in the search engine sandbox.

If you need to find out how long a particular site has been on the Internet, you can use several in various ways. Let's look at them using the example of the famous search engine Yandex.

How to find out when a website was created - whois services

You can use the information provided by special services. Whois Service sites provide information not only about the date of its creation, but also about the owner, hosting location, etc.

Its interface is extremely simple. It is necessary to enter the address of our experimental subject in the single Whois Lookup field – www.yandex.ru. After clicking on the “Search” button, the server displays the results.

The Dates line contains information about the creation of the domain – Created on 1997-09-23. The date is written in the American “year-month-date” system; we are more familiar with the European representation - 09/23/1997.

There are other sites that can provide similar information - both English and Russian:

• whois.net
• dnsstuff.com
• whois-service.ru
• wwhois.ru/whois.php

How to check when a website was created by the date on it?

Some sites themselves indicate the start time of their work. Traditionally, the date is placed on the page in the footer, also called the footer.

On home page Yandex does not have such information, but let’s try to find this information in the “About” section. That’s right, it’s still the same 1997.

This inscription does not always correspond to the registration date. On some dynamically updated sites, it may simply record the current year, meaning that the copyright refers to the information that is displayed on the page at that particular point in time.

We determine the date based on the content of the site.

If the current year is indicated in the footer of the site next to the copyright icon, then you can try to find the very first posts that appeared on it. Let's try to clarify the date of creation of Yandex Blogs. In the footer, the copyright indicates 2013-2016. Let's check. To do this, go to the “Archive” section and, using the calendar, find the oldest entry.

The copyright indicates a different date. Why did it happen? It turns out that until 2012 inclusive, Yandex used the services of Artemy Lebedev’s design studio and its copyright was on the pages. And since 2013, the portal’s own team began to design services and Yandex’s copyright took its rightful place on the page.

Browser response

Date last change pages can be obtained from services that provide a server response to a request.

By turning, for example, to https://2ip.ru/server-response/, we receive a package of information from yandex.ru. The information we are interested in is located after the Last-Modified item.

The answer indicates Greenwich Mean Time, which is three hours less than Moscow.

How to find out the date of creation of a website online?

To check the date of creation of a site, you can use portals that provide a comprehensive analysis of it, for example, cy-pr.com. In addition to this information, you can get a detailed report on the site’s statistics in search engines, its traffic, the number of backlinks, the geography of its visitors and much more.

In the form on the page you need to enter the site address and click the “Analysis” button.

The Registration Date line indicates the already familiar date of creation of Yandex - September 23, 1997. Other portals that provide similar information:

• spyonweb.com
• seolik.ru
• e.megaindex.ru
• sbup.com

Internet Archive

You can try to find out the date of creation of the site by contacting the Internet Archive.

Yes, despite the somewhat absurdity of the name, there is a portal archive.org, which is engaged in the noble task of creating copies of sites (snapshots) at different points in time. Let's check when Yandex came into his field of vision.

Enter the Yandex address in the search field and click “BrowseHistory”.

At the top of the screen you can see a time ruler, which displays the dates of creation of site copies. Below is a calendar with colored circles around the dates, proportional to the number of copies made on that day. We choose the earliest year, 1998.

By double-clicking on the marked dates, you can open the site as it looked at that moment. It’s easy to see that “that” Yandex has little in common with the modern one.

How to find out the creation date of a website page?

If a site page contains any updated information, for example, news, then the date of its creation can be determined by the date of the most recent entry. On the Yandex main page you can clearly see when it was created in this particular form, on October 15 at 11:42 a.m.:

This is what the page creation date on the Yandex blog looks like:

It can be seen that the last entry was made on October 7 at 11:10, which is the moment this page was created.

If the page contains any comment forms, then the date of its creation can be determined by the date of the very first comment, for example:

Of course, the first comment may not appear immediately after the page is created, but certainly not before. That is, we can be sure that the page was created earlier than this date.

This method makes it easy to determine the start date of the forum. You need to find the very first comments or messages from administrators about the forum rules. They are usually the very first entries and accurately reflect the start date of the forum.

Or, if data on registered users is available, look at the date of first registration.

Each of these verification methods does not take much time. You can use one of them, or you can combine several options.

Good day everyone, my dear friends. I was recently asked how long ago I registered on VK. To which I replied that I have been there since 2007. And I don’t know why, but I wondered when exactly I was registered. I started looking for a way to find out the creation date of a VKontakte page. And I want to tell you that I found a whole carriage and a small cart using these methods.

Well, I decided that I would share this information with you, since, as far as I understand, I was not the only one who was interested in learning this information. Personally, I found out that I was registered more than 9 years and 2 months ago. Cool. But it seems like only recently they told me about this social network. Damn, time flies. Anyway. Let's not talk about sad things. Let me show you these very methods clearly.

VKreg

The easiest way in my opinion is the website VKreg. Here you can find out the age of your VK page by link, name or ID. To do this, go to the site and simply enter one of these parameters. Let me copy the link of my page and click “Find”. In just a couple of seconds, information about the amount of time that has passed since registration will appear.

And by the way, as you can see, your ID is also registered here. So this service can be safely used as one of the ways to find out your VK ID.

Code

The next method is a little more complicated and will require us to dig a little deeper into the developer panel. Remember we used the panel when I told? This time she will help us too. I will operate through the Google Chrome browser, well, other browsers also have this option.

If suddenly something seems incomprehensible to you, then especially for you I recorded a video in which I explain everything in detail.

Application

Well, the last method that I would like to highlight today is the installation special application. In fact, there are a whole bunch of such applications, so I will show you an example of one of them. To do this, follow the link and click "Launch the application".

You will see an application with a bunch of advertisements that you need to close, and to completely disable them you will be asked to pay 1 vote. But I don't think any of you will need it. Although if you want, you can pay. Moreover, you already know. Here you will see how many days you have already been registered.

But to see the date itself, you need to go down a little lower and write your ID, your name or nickname in a special line, or simply copy the address of your page or a friend’s page, and then click on the magnifying glass. Voila, your avatar has appeared, and below it is the date the page was created.

Of course, there are a whole bunch of other methods, as I said above, but I doubt that you will need them. These will be more than enough for you. And what to use is up to you. By the way, please tell me which method did you like best? Please write in the comments.

Well, now you know several ways to find out the creation date of a VKontakte page. So if you ever need this information, you will always know where to find it.

Best regards, Dmitry Kostin.
