is a way to archive the page. But, are there any other methods of proving this?

It depends on what jurisdiction you are located in. In some US states, a notary public can prepare a certified copy of most written documents. The certification would include the date the certification was made. However, it would be a copy, so the copyright terms for the item would have to allow the making of a copy.
