Cause of death: the autopsy

Every scanner on the first page of search results was free, including one from a large security company (Snyk) and four independent ones.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The report left no way back.
