Chealer opened a new issue, #33: URL: https://github.com/apache/httpd-site/issues/33
[The _How Apache Came to Be_ section of the _About_ page](https://httpd.apache.org/ABOUT_APACHE.html#How) contains: > Less than a year after the group was formed, the Apache server passed NCSA's httpd as the #1 server on the Internet and according to the [survey by Netcraft](http://www.netcraft.com/survey/) , it retains that position today. Strangely, Netcraft appears to keep surveying web servers, but no longer seems to have a permanent URL to their latest survey. That link is basically broken, now pointing to their blog. The blog does contain monthly survey results, but the latest does not even show directly on that page at this time. I suggest either removing the link or rephrasing to clarify how to access the latest results. Note that according to [the March 2026 survey](https://www.netcraft.com/blog/march-2026-web-server-survey), httpd would not even be in the top 2, and would not have been #1 for 7 to 10 years. The homepage also claims, this time without any reference: > The Apache HTTP Server ("httpd") was launched in 1995 and it has been the most popular web server on the Internet since April 1996 It is good practice to avoid the word “today” in webpages which are not dated, preferring "as of YYYY-MM-DD" to make it easier to spot outdated content.
