Website Popularity Checker v1.1
Monday, June 30th, 2008The website-popularity-checker has been updated to use PHP “multi-threading” and AJAX. It stills checks the number of back links according to 6 search engines.
The PHP “multi-threading” is actually implemented using stream_select(). When the checker fetches a report, it makes up to 24 http requests and now these run in parallel to speed up the response time. This means faster reports.
And the use of AJAX now means that the whole page doesn’t need to reload once a report is generated.
In the next version, the report presentation format will be updated.
