Description
The archive.org wayback machine has a handful of snapshots of https://wpt.fyi/interop-2023 , but unfortunately they don't seem to load properly.
For example: these load as blank pages for me (with the wayback machine header-bar):
https://web.archive.org/web/20230212205238/https://wpt.fyi/interop-2023
https://web.archive.org/web/20230328203511/https://wpt.fyi/interop-2023
I suspect there must be something that's not-precisely-captured by archive.org, e.g. some external resources or something else dynamic, and that's causing the failure here. It would be nice if we could identify what's going wrong and help get it addressed, so that we could get archive.org historic snapshots of what the score was on such-and-such date with the tests on that date (since the set of included tests changes from time to time, and that causes historical scores reported on wpt.fyi to be recomputed as well).

Research direction
Start by reproducing the two linked Wayback snapshots and inspecting the archived page, network requests, and external resources that fail to load. Trace the interop-2023 dashboard entry point and compare it with a live snapshot. Done means the cause of the blank page is identified and a practical fix or archival workaround is documented.
