Attribute: Website Content

Description

The state of the website at a particular time.

We make a request to each website in our database at least every ninety days. Each website_content object represents what we learned on one of those requests.

Time Structure

This attribute has a historical dimension which is represented by the rank property:

  • Rank = 0: Data from the most recent website request.
  • Higher ranks (1, 2, etc.): Data from earlier website requests (higher ranks represent earlier requests)

This structure allows us to answer questions such as

  • when did this website become unavailable and begin returning 404 errors?
  • when did this website switch it's favicon (which may indicate a rebranding or acquisition)?
