Nice project! However, when trying to search for my site (https://spacehey.com), it shows multiple tags, with most of them being false (Cloudflare, UTM Tracking, WEBP Images). I used Cloudflare at one point in the past, but don't anymore. Additionally, there has never been UTM tracking or anything like that nor WEBP images... Where do you get such data from?

Apart from that, awesome project!

Since spacehey includes user-submitted content, it's possible that:

* Someone uploaded a WEBP image to the site.

* Someone pasted a link with a utm_* param.

* The page was crawled when cloudflare was used.

Will look into it and see if I can find the pages that generated the tags. Search results are generally tagged by domain name (necessary since not all pages can be crawled, and even if the page the user connects to doesn't have, for example google trackers, a user would likely want to know if the site is using trackers elsewhere).

Also love the spacehey project, really captures the feel of Myspace!

what's wrong with webp?

Nothing wrong with the format in particular. However some may prefer formats such as PNG and JPEG since:

* A lot more software supports PNG and JPEG (backwards compatibility, better integration with one's existing system and tools).

* You can often get the same file size, visual quality, and performance with PNG and JPEG as you can with WEBP with optimization.

Interesting concept but find this one promoting going backwards. I understand people like rotary phones.

EDIT: I found some of the pages with links that include UTM tracking params. Let me know if you want me to send you the pages with those links, can send them through email (my email is on the contact page of the site).

Oh, I see - that makes perfect sense! Thank you for the clarification!

Glad you like SpaceHey :)

Keep up the great work!
