What changed, and when
Changes to how a check is produced: the patterns, the sources, the rules behind a review priority, and how long a report is kept. A change that alters what a finding means is recorded here and on the methodology page, because a rule you cannot see change is a rule you cannot trust.
- Detection
Candidate generation moved to the discovery engine
About twenty pattern families, 180 endings, hosting platforms, dormant-registration detection and certificate-transparency search replace the 24-variation sample, which remains only as a fallback. Checks now run as background jobs, public reports are kept for 24 hours, and full registry lookups cover the top 80 rows.
- Method
Keyword patterns now depend on registration age
Keyword patterns reach Elevated only on registrations under a year old; older keyword domains are Review. Added the Possibly yours tag for variations that share a registrar and nameservers, or exact DNS providers, with the checked domain. The registrar is now shown in each row.
- Method
Methodology published
The method went up alongside the first public version of the checker: every pattern family, every public source, the timeouts, the caching and the exact rule behind each review priority.
Why this list is short
The checker went public on 9 September 2026, so the record starts there. Three entries is what it honestly contains. Back-dating milestones to make the history look longer would contradict the editorial policy, which is a page away and says dates are never moved for effect.
What counts as an entry
Anything that changes what a finding means or how it was produced: a new pattern family, a new source, a changed review-priority rule, a change to retention. Interface work and fixes that leave results identical are not listed, because they do not change how you should read a report.
