Questions

How often is it updated?

Once a day at about 05:15 UTC (05:15 in winter, 06:15 in summer, UK time). Each run reads every feed, saves new stories and rebuilds the site. Days follow UK (London) time.

Do you republish articles?

No. Each story is a headline, its source, the time and a link to the original article. We keep a short part of each feed's description to tag stories and write summaries, but never show it.

Who writes the summaries?

The one-line summaries and the day in brief are written by AI (DeepSeek) from the headlines and feed descriptions only, and are labelled as AI. They can miss nuance, so read the original before relying on them.

How are stories grouped?

Stories about the same named Google update (for example "November 2026 core update") are grouped under Google's own announcement, as are near-identical headlines from different outlets published within 48 hours.

Where do Google updates come from?

The Google updates panel reads the Google Search Status Dashboard. Ranking updates show how many days they have been rolling out against Google's stated window.
