IANA redesigns example.com with multilingual JavaScript notice
Original: IANA changed example.com on 28 September 2026 from a static English page to a basic HTML page plus a separate JavaScript
IANA has changed example.com, the long-standing reserved domain used for documentation, moving it from a single static English page to a basic HTML page paired with a separate JavaScript file. The script adds the notice in Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish. IANA says the split reduces bandwidth. The change, dated 28 September 2026 and logged by DebugBear's monitoring, is drawing attention from developers tracking the famously unchanging page.
Why now: example.com has been unchanged for decades, so any modification by IANA attracts attention from internet infrastructure watchers.
