Technology Changes

Posted by Sam Soltano on 28 January 2010 in News

When we show the technologies used by a website in our site info section, we now show also recent changes.

You can see:

• Version changes, when a website upgrades, or occasionally downgrades, a tool.
• Usage of alternative technologies, such as change of the operating system or of the web server.

Examples of recent changes are:

• Myspace.com upgraded from Microsoft-IIS version 6.0 to version 7.5.
• Imageshack.us switched from HTML to XHTML and downgraded their PHP version, for whatever reason.
• Chili.com.mx switched from Fedora to Debian and upgraded their Apache server.

When we detect such changes, we will show them for a few months. That is what "recent" means, if you see "used until recently".

At the moment, you will see these change notes only for a some sites, as we have not yet completed our crawl since we introduced that feature. But you will see more and more of them every day. I hope you find that information useful.
