A site whose visibility is set to logged-in users, site members or administrators only (blog_public below 0, as set by lh-membership) sends nothing to the Wayback Machine: no pings and no CDX lookups, and its Wayback column is hidden. archive.org can only ever capture the login page for such sites, and the requests were using up the shared network budget. Sites set to discourage search engines (0) are still archived. Override per site with the new lh_wayback_machine_is_site_archivable filter. When a private site is made public, edited items are sent as usual and the daily backstop picks up the rest of its queue.

The archive returns 403 for domains excluded at the owner’s request, so 403 now blocks only that domain (for a week by default, filter lh_wayback_machine_return_host_block); the excluded site’s queue sleeps until the block ends instead of running every minute. 429 Too Many Requests remains the only network-wide backoff (one hour, filter lh_wayback_machine_return_backoff, which no longer receives the status code). The network-wide pause left by 2.0.2 is cleared on upgrade.
