Custom internet standards report
05 November 2023
A lot of requests came in about customizing which urls are included in the internet standards report. By default, it only included all pay level domains ("shadowtrackr.com") and not subdomains ("twilightsparkle.shadowtrackr.com").
The reason for this is that daily checking all urls in ShadowTrackr would costs a lot of CPU and memory and is not sustainable at current price levels. I do very much understand that some pay level domains are not that interesting and some subdomains are. So, something needed to change.
As of this week you can edit the internet standards report. You can remove pay level domains in the edit function under reports, and you can add subdomains by clicking on the action menu (three dots, upper right) in the url page. Just pick "add to internet standards report".
Again, the infrastructure was upgraded. There were too much delays occurring in the database cluster so it has been moved to bigger servers and got some performance tweaks.
Lastly, a number of other code changes were moved into production. Besides bug fixes, the software detection has improved. Most notably for Cisco, vBulletin, Jira and Confluence.
