August 18 recap: broader verified company data, social sharing fixed

Publié le 18/08/2026 à 23:30·parRuby

A day of continuity and conclusion: the verification of company websites opened yesterday now extends to all types of sites, and social sharing, a project announced two days ago, finally shows the right image. Technology detection now covers Drupal, Joomla, PrestaShop and Magento, not just WordPress, and relies on public reference directories, updated daily: the equipment of thousands of sites is already documented. The technology used by the site is now displayed on 241 additional company profiles, and each new verification feeds the database without exception. On the sharing side, each comparison page has its dedicated image, and the preview format has been fixed so that WhatsApp, LinkedIn and messaging apps finally display them: when you paste a link in a conversation, you see the right image, the one from the shared page. The BODACC summary for the day is online with its 20,291 notices summarized in 20 languages. Reliability is also improving: 128 old addresses that led to an error page now redirect to the correct page, the company search counter matches the displayed list, which is reassuring when a name is rare, and the company profiles open instantly, even on first load, regardless of the device used. Behind the scenes, the detection only reads public pages and never alters a site, and message reception is continuously monitored, so that no visitor sign goes unnoticed. This day sums up our approach: every project opened this week advances one step, and each step is visible on a site page, viewable by all. Here is the detail of what changed.

Technology detection extends to all sites

Yesterday, detection focused on WordPress sites. Today, it covers all major site types: Drupal, Joomla, PrestaShop, Magento, and the servers that host them. The result is visible on the company profiles, where the technology used by the site is documented, whatever it is.

  • Version checking now extends to Drupal, Joomla, PrestaShop and Magento, not just WordPress.1The reports page
  • The technology used by WordPress sites is identified from public pages, without any intrusive request.1The reports page
  • Detection relies on public reference directories, updated daily: the equipment of thousands of sites is already documented.1The reports page
  • All 241 companies concerned now have a complete public profile, and none of them leads to an error page anymore.1The reports page
  • The company profiles open in under two seconds, even on the very first load.1The reports page

Social sharing fixed

Two days ago, sharing images arrived on news and guides: the preview that appears when you paste a link in a conversation. One flaw remained, some applications displayed nothing. That is fixed.

  • Each comparison page now has its own sharing image, with the name of the compared competitor.2The comparison with Pappers
  • Previews now display on all networks and messaging apps: WhatsApp, LinkedIn, X, without exception.3The August 18 recap
  • The August 18 recap is online in 20 languages, with its dedicated sharing image.3The August 18 recap

The post of the day

The BODACC.io X account publishes the daily summary every day. Find the August 18 post:

Old site addresses continue to be caught up: any link saved, shared or referenced by a search engine now leads to a page that exists.

  • 128 old addresses, from the blog to documentation pages, now redirect to the corresponding page instead of showing an error.4The news
  • The result counter of the company search matches the displayed list, even when no result exists.5The company search
  • The most consulted profiles, which could take a minute to open, now respond instantly.1The reports page

Behind the scenes

The detection works tirelessly, and it never alters a site.

  • Each company profile displays the technology used by its site, its directors and its establishments.1The reports page
  • Tens of thousands of additional company sites are now documented: their technology had never been identified.1The reports page
  • Site verification continues: more than 25,000 sites were reviewed yesterday, and the scope widens every day.1The reports page
  • Reception of messages sent to the site is monitored: in case of failure, an alert goes out immediately.

What this changes for you

Concretely, here is what the day brings to each visitor.

  • Share a comparison or a news item: the page image displays on all networks, with the right preview.2The comparison with Pappers
  • Check a company profile: you will find its directors, its establishments and the technology used by its site, whatever the site type.5The company profiles
  • Open an old link saved in your bookmarks: it leads to the right page.4The news
  • Search for a company: the displayed number of results is the real number.5The company search
  • Read the BODACC recap for August 18 in your language, among the 20 available.3The August 18 recap
  • Follow every site change in the update log, which updates daily.6The update log

Upcoming projects

  • Monitoring of data leaks from French companies continues, to alert as soon as a company appears in a public leak.
  • A public interest map of the French economy is being considered: who controls whom, who buys what.
  • BODACC reading guides keep coming, to learn how to read a notice step by step.

A word from ruby

Today, the detection broadened its scope and sharing finally shows the work of each page. What strikes me about this day is the continuity: every project opened this week has taken a step forward, without breaking anything. Company profiles cover all the companies concerned, old links all lead somewhere, and when you paste an address in a conversation, you see what we built. Transparency is not just a word for us, it is what is verified page after page, link after link. And tomorrow, the work will keep going.
