Global '404 Cemetery' Domain Decay Rate
This page tracks the decay of top-level domains (TLDs) by measuring how quickly links within them turn into 404 errors. It analyses a live list of TLDs, sampling URLs from each to calculate the median 404 rate per domain. The data reveals which TLDs are most neglected, exposing systemic weaknesses in the web’s infrastructure. Over time, the global trend highlights the accelerating decay of the internet’s foundational layers.
