Editorial standards
How we choose topics, which sources we use, how we report our own measurements and how we handle corrections.
How we choose topics
We write about questions readers of Crawlerpeek actually have: things that changed, things that are commonly misunderstood and things we measured ourselves. We do not publish a topic we cannot back with a primary source or our own data, and we do not publish several articles that answer the same question.
Sources
- Facts rest on primary sources: the documentation, announcements or specifications of the party the statement is about.
- Every source is linked in the article together with the date we last checked it. If a source cannot be found or has changed, the statement is changed or removed.
- Numbers, quotes and names are never filled in from memory: each one traces back to a linked source or to our own data.
- Statements about third parties are limited to what their own documentation says. We do not rank them by opinion.
Our own measurements
Where we publish our own measurements, the article or the methodology page states how the data was collected, the period, the sample size and what the data cannot show. A measurement describes what we observed in that setup and period; it is not a statement about the whole web.
Updates and corrections
Every article shows when it was published and when it was last updated. When we change facts after publication, the updated date changes with them. If you find an error, write to hello@crawlerpeek.com or use the contact form. We check the report against the source, correct confirmed errors and say in the article what was corrected and when.
Who publishes this
Articles are published under the name of the Crawlerpeek editorial team. The legally required provider details are in the imprint.
