Checkerr shut down

Sorry for this, but I’m no longer maintaining checkerr.org. It has shut down as of 2018.05.11.

Reasons

  • Extremely few people really used it, as in, actually fixed errors on their websites.
  • Because of this, I stopped working on it, it went in maintenance mode. I had a server up and running anyway, so it didn’t cost much to operate it as a free service.
  • Or so I thought. Checkerr traded disk space for speed and development simplicity, so it was using the disk heavily (rotating disk). After 3 years on the current server, the disks (raid of 2) started to be worn out. This caused my main project that was hosted on the same server (boomla.com) to sometimes not respond for ~10 seconds, which is not acceptable for the kind of service it is.

So I decided to pull the plug before replacing the drives.
