Verification gets a second evidence channel — and an honest negative

Sites without an ads.txt can now confirm the other way: verified network ad scripts and proxy headers observed on the homepage count as the site pointing back, and the evidence line is printed on the page like any other. The new "No longer detected" label names stale seller-file listings on networks where absence is measurable, instead of leaving them indistinguishable from unchecked rows. Seller-account matching also became tolerant of zero-padding, and managed networks selling through upstream exchanges are now attributed through a registry-verified seat map covering over two hundred exchange accounts.

Every public page now serves from cache

Network, niche, site and comparison pages are pre-rendered and served from the CDN edge, with pagination moved into the path. Database hiccups no longer take reading pages down, and repeat visits are immediate.

Initial public dataset

The first full build: tens of thousands of sites across twenty-one advertising networks, each relationship read from the published seller files, cross-checked against site ads.txt files, classified by niche and scored for authority.
