Did you copy the list of WRs / history, and sort by date?
If my search count is correct, looks like there are 1262 total WRs, counting extinct events, so that should cover almost every day of the year.

I go to mixed history (so that extinct events are counted as well) I control F and find a certain date. Because the website only use the first day of the comp to say the the date the record happened, I have to go in and check the schedule of the comp. Take a comp that has days 1,2 and 3. A record could happen on day 3, but the records list will list all records that comp as having happened day 1. The schedule is useful for making sure the exact date a record happened. Unfortunately, many comps from the past (~pre-2017) do not have the schedule, so for old enough records, there is the chance that I post the record 1-2 days too early.

I also keep all the anniversaries on my calendar. I have all the anniversaries from mid October, to yesterday on my calendar. My calendar is useful for those records in multi day comps, instead of checking the comp on the WCA website and checking the schedule and then the round the record happened and all that every year, I just check all that once, put it on my calendar, and I don't check the WCA website again. Also, anytime a new record happens (like today's megaminx WR) I put it on my calendar.
