Yes, it is challenging to index and process billions of web pages on a regular basis. Our current architecture can be scaled to handle 500+ million web-pages. However, to increase the crawl frequency and introduce more services, we are buil

It could be because of the peak time HN and PH created yesterday. We had to queue all new URLs so that URLs that we once processed (almost all of the top 1M websites) work fine. There were also minor downtimes between server upgrades.

We frequently update our supporting TLDs to avoid this problem. It's important considering the plethora of new fancy TLDs that are popping up all the time. Thanks, and glad you liked the product!

Very strange. It is working fine on our side: https://cl.ly/1x150t1m0922 I'll check this with our developer and get on it right away. Thank you so much for taking time to report this!

It could also be the data collected from HackerNews as WhatRuns consider subdomain as part of the main domain. Most users like to know the full tech stack of a website. If there is a blog at blog.company.com which is using Intercom, it can

We got the same response from a ProductHunt user as well. Like we mentioned above, it will only be introduced as an 'option', which means you can happily switch :)

It is working on subdomains, but you are right that the primary domain is prioritised. Most users like to know the full tech stack of a website. If there is a blog at blog.company.com and if it is using Intercom, it can be a useful data. I

Thank you so much! I'll share this comment with our designer ;) Addressing your question, all URLs once passed through WhatRuns will be publicly accessible. You will have to use the extension for new sites for now.

WR currently considers subdomains as a part of the main domain. Most users like to know the full tech stack of a website. If there is a blog at blog.company.com and if it is using Intercom, it can be a useful data. I hope this makes sense.

Nice find! :) However, WR only publicizes websites that were once loaded through extension. If you have a new website and if it wasn't opened on WhatRuns before, this lookup won't do the trick.
