# Website Restoration Timelines: How Long Does It Take?

> Learn how long website restoration takes based on site size, what factors affect the timeline, and how the review and delivery process works.

Restoration time depends on the size and complexity of your website. Most restorations complete within a few business days. Below are the typical timelines, the factors that can speed things up or slow them down, and a walkthrough of how delivery works from start to finish.

## Typical timelines

| Site size                | Estimated time      |
| ------------------------ | ------------------- |
| Small (up to \~10 pages) | 2–4 business days   |
| Medium (10–50 pages)     | 4–7 business days   |
| Large (50+ pages)        | 7–10+ business days |

<Info>
  These estimates cover the restoration work itself. Your response time during the review stage affects the overall turnaround.

## Factors that affect the timeline

Several variables influence how long your specific restoration takes:

* **Number of pages** — more pages means more content to recover and reconstruct
* **Archive completeness** — sites with fuller Wayback Machine coverage restore faster and more accurately
* **Restoration format** — WordPress restorations involve additional setup compared to HTML
* **Special requests or revisions** — custom work or multiple revision rounds add time

## Delivery process

Once work begins, your restoration moves through four stages:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Restoration work">
    The team recovers your site from available archives and rebuilds it in your chosen format (HTML or WordPress).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Initial delivery">
    You receive the first version of the restored site for review. The team shares a preview link or delivers the files, depending on your setup.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review and revisions">
    You review the restored site and flag anything that needs adjusting. The team handles revision requests promptly.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Final handover">
    Once you approve the result, you receive all files or a live setup — whichever applies to your restoration type.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Custom restoration and development work is available on request if your site needs features beyond a standard restoration.
