Nibbler doesn't see updates to my site

ChancyRat

I stumbled onto this site which gives scores for various factors on one's website, such as useability, etc.
One of them is "Freshness", where it appears their system stopped recognizing updates to my site as of June 2014.

Is this - should this be? I've made deep, big changes to my site that are not captured in nibbler's checks.

I just used it to test my website and I got this message:

"It looks like this website was last updated on Saturday, July 20, 2013.
This is bad because visitors may dismiss this website as outdated."

So it seems that maybe either its test is flawed or there is a conflict between Smugmug and their software?

Interesting site, but I suspect what you are seeing says more about Nibbler's limitations than what SmugMug is doing.

Thanks Ace and Richard, this is why I posted this - just in case SM has control over - something - and needs to re-set - something.

SmugMug formats your pages to be google, bing, and many other web-crawler friendly ... so I have no clue what Nibbler is doing. I suspect what happened was their web-crawler hasn't hit your page for years, which isn't something SmugMug can control. Continue posting, keywording, tagging, blogging, linking, etc and building your SEO ranking so that bots like theirs are more likely to crawl your site. Hope that helps.
