Freezing readings

Almost nothing is getting through.

At this temperature a search engine or an answer engine is working with raw text and little else. Something structural is usually wrong: the page is blocked, it is built entirely in the browser, or it never returned to the crawler at all.

This band covers 0 to 19 degrees. How the bands are set

No published reading has landed in this band yet.

Nothing published here yet, and that is worth saying rather than hiding. Freezing readings exist ... a staging site that went live with its Disallow intact, a single-page application that returns an empty container, a domain parked behind a redirect nobody finished. They are just rare among sites anyone has heard of, which is exactly why they are worth a band of their own.

If you take a reading in this range, the first thing to check is not the content. It is whether the page returned anything at all, and whether robots.txt is still carrying an instruction from a previous life.
