LH033 checkpoint, 2 November 2026
Working record, unreviewed. Read at 15:30 UTC (Censys and W3Techs; all nine requests returned HTTP 200); Censys's snapshot says it was refreshed at 15:15 UTC. This is the first read after the daily reads ended on 30 October, so it is later in the day than the daily 06:35 reads, and a snapshot refreshed hourly. Tables: data/read-2026-11-02T1530Z/tables.json. Completed days run from day 0 (21 October) to day 11 (1 November); today is about day 12, and the brief's day-30 read is due on 21 or 22 November. Written by the scheduled Monday run.
Revisions
None: days 0 to 8 are identical, field for field, to the read of 30 October (branch shares and the unfixed-tail counts). Days 9 to 11 are new.
Censys: share of version-reporting services in each fixed branch counted as patched (observation, its classification)
| Branch | Day 7 | Day 8 | Day 9 | Day 10 | Day 11 | Services in branch, day 11 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8.2 | 53.0% | 58.3% | 67.1% | 70.4% | 72.2% | 6.08 million |
| 8.3 | 52.4% | 57.4% | 65.9% | 68.4% | 69.8% | 7.86 million |
| 8.4 | 67.8% | 74.2% | 78.1% | 79.3% | 80.0% | 3.33 million |
| 8.5 | 78.8% | 82.9% | 87.0% | 88.4% | 88.9% | 3.68 million |
Day 9 (30 October) was the largest single-day rise since day 2: 8.8 points in 8.2, 8.5 in 8.3, 3.9 in 8.4 and 4.1 in 8.5. Days 10 and 11 added 1.4 to 3.3 points in 8.2 and 8.3 and 0.5 to 1.4 in 8.4 and 8.5. Unlike day 8, the branch counts did not fall on day 9; they rose in every branch, so this rise is not explained by a smaller denominator. Why the rise came on day 9 is not read from this instrument. First day at half is unchanged (8.2 and 8.3 day 6; 8.4 and 8.5 day 2).
Censys: the tail no fix reaches
Day 11: 23.9 million services on branches PHP did not fix (23.3 million on day 8), 53.3 per cent of the 44.9 million that reported a version (54.0 per cent on day 8). Patched 15.8 million (12.9 on day 8); in fixed branches and not yet counted patched, 5.1 million (7.0). Services reporting no version: 73.2 million, 62.0 per cent of the 118.0 million PHP services counted (61.2 per cent on day 8).
W3Techs: websites at or above the fixed patch, within each minor (dated 2 November 2026)
8.2: 10.7 per cent (2.8 on 26 October); 8.3: 12.1 (3.8); 8.4: 16.0 (6.0); 8.5: 23.8 (8.3). W3Techs visits each site about once a month, so these rise slowly by construction. The 1 November monthly points of the history pages (measure 4, and measure 6 of amendment 1) were fetched and kept raw (w3techs-history_details-*.raw.gz); tables.json carries only the current-day pages, so they are not yet tabulated.
Chart
figure.svg redrawn from this read and looked at in light and dark; no collision. Fixed scripts/draw_figure.py, which wrote "October" in the date text of its title and bar heading and had said "1 October 2026" for 1 November; it now takes the month from the date. Amendment 2's S30 and L cannot be computed before days 28 to 30 are held.
