Changelog

Every algorithm version change and every data-policy change is recorded here, alongside notable product updates. Scores are never silently redefined.

  • Trust and transparency pages Site

    Added the about, imprint, contact, data, status, and changelog pages, machine trust signals (security.txt, structured data), and proper error pages. Corrected the stated release cadence from “roughly quarterly” to “roughly monthly” after checking the live Common Crawl release manifest — the underlying scores were always per-release and are unaffected.

  • Site-owner verification and badges Site

    Domain owners can prove control via DNS, a meta tag, a well-known file, or a badge embed, earning a verified checkmark and an optional public site description. Verification is re-checked periodically; it never changes a score.

    Public launch: free score lookups for any domain, score history charts, accounts with domain tracking, and the public JSON API.

  • OAR algorithm v1 Algorithm

    The launch algorithm, now frozen: harmonic centrality weighted 0.7 and PageRank 0.3 over log-scaled ranks in the Common Crawl domain graph, with the honest-null policy for unprovable domains. Any future change ships as a new version beside this one.
