Year check for footers and headlines
The year check looks for year references that no longer match today's date: copyright lines, headlines such as "Pricing 2024", legal details and dates in case studies. Every hit comes with an excerpt so you can fix it in minutes.
Check your years
Enter your address and see where yesterday's number is still showing.
No account, no credit card. Takes a minute.
So geht es
- 1Enter the address. Type your website address into the field.
- 2Review the years. Every passage with a suspicious year appears with an excerpt.
- 3Make the footer dynamic. Render the footer year from the system date so it never happens again.
Why years matter more than they should
The year in the footer is the first signal visitors read to judge when someone last looked after the site. It sits on every page and is touched least often.
What no system updates for you
Even with a dynamic footer, years stay put elsewhere:
- Headlines and page titles
- Download file names
- Legal and register details
- Phrases like "for over ten years"
