Lately, we’ve been seeing some strange pages show up in search results. They usually live under a folder called something like /article/ and use long page names based on the title, with the words separated by dashes. They usually don’t stay online for very long. When you click one, it often redirects you straight to the same site, most recently "custommapposter.com".

What’s happening is that real websites are being used, usually without the owner knowing, to host spam pages for a short period of time. These pages aren’t meant for people to read. Their only purpose is to grab search traffic and send visitors somewhere else. Once the site owner notices the problem or the site gets cleaned up, the pages disappear.

One pattern is that many of these sites are running the LiteSpeed web server. That doesn’t automatically mean LiteSpeed itself is the issue, but it does point toward software commonly used alongside it, such as cache plugins for WordPress or other CMS platforms. The LiteSpeed Cache plugin in particular has had serious vulnerabilities and was only recently patched, which left millions of sites exposed for a window of time. When attackers find a weakness in popular plugins like this, they move fast and reuse the same exploit across many sites before owners have a chance to update.

Because these pages are created automatically, they all look very similar. The same folder names keep showing up, the titles follow the same pattern, and the redirect behavior is almost identical. From a search engine point of view, patterns like this become noticeable pretty quickly.

The web is always changing, and spam tactics change with it. These “article” pages are just another example of short-lived web spam designed to take advantage of real websites before anyone notices. If something looks off when you click a result, there’s a good chance it really is.

We’ll keep watching for patterns like this and filtering them out so real content has a better chance to be seen.

When we started building Fynd, we used ChatGPT a lot. It helped us write code, fix bugs, and figure out how to make things run faster. It was like having a really smart friend who was always there to help us when we got stuck.

Now something cool has happened. Fynd is being used by ChatGPT to help train and improve its own language models. It’s kind of like everything has come full circle.

But just to be clear, Fynd is not AI. It’s a real search engine. It doesn’t make things up or talk like a human. It just finds real results from the web and shows them clearly and quickly. That’s its job.

Still, it’s pretty amazing to think that something built with help from AI is now helping make that same AI even smarter.

We have good news. Fynd now runs on the CacheComet CDN, a network of fast servers that DataPacket built for Fynd and its web hosting customers. Think of CacheComet as many nearby “checkpoints” that hand you files quickly.

Fynd does not need a CDN or extra caches to be fast. It is already quick from our home base in the USA. The CDN helps make that speed consistent for everyone around the world by keeping popular files close to where you are.

With CacheComet, pages and images load faster, searches feel snappier, and the site stays steady even when many people are using it. It also cuts down the distance data has to travel, which reduces hiccups during busy times.

CacheComet was built to fit our systems, so it works smoothly with Fynd and with the DataPacket hosting platform. We’ll keep tuning it as we grow.

We did something a little different from most search engines, we built everything from scratch.

That means we didn’t copy code or use parts from other websites or open-source projects. Every line of code behind Fynd, the search engine, the way it works, how it looks, and even the code for this blog, was written by us. From the way it crawls the web to how it shows search results, it's all 100% our own work.

Because of that, you might notice that Fynd looks a little more plain or simple than some other search engines, especially the design and layout. That’s on purpose. When you build something from the ground up, it takes time to add all the fancy little features. But it also gives us full control, so we can make sure everything works fast, clean, and without clutter.

We think that’s more important than flashy buttons or distractions.

Fynd is still growing and getting better every day. New features and improvements are coming, but we wanted to start with something honest, original, and fully our own.

Thanks for being part of the journey!

We’re excited to share some awesome news about how much Fynd has grown in our first year.

In January, over 41,000 people visited our search engine and viewed more than one million pages. In February, nearly 58,000 visitors checked out over 1.5 million pages. By March, over 54,000 people visited, viewing almost 1.8 million pages.

It’s clear that people are really enjoying Fynd. They’re coming back again and again because they like using our search engine.

We just want to say thank you to everyone who’s been using Fynd and telling others about it. You’re helping us grow, and we couldn’t do it without you.

We’re just getting started, and we can’t wait to show you what’s next.

Thanks again!
