How gobii.reviews meets Google spam policies, accessibility standards, and regulatory requirements.

Compliance

Policy Adherence & Audit Trail

gobii.reviews is built on static HTML with zero JavaScript manipulation of browser history. We proactively audit against Google Search spam policies and web standards. Here's the evidence.

✅ Google Back-Button Hijacking Audit — PASS

Google's new spam policy for back-button hijacking enforcement goes live June 15, 2026. Sites using history.pushState or history.replaceState to trap users on pages face manual actions. We audited every file in our codebase on June 8, 2026.

Audit command: grep -ri "history\.push\|history\.replace\|pushstate\|replacestate" /var/www/gob/
Result: No matches found. Zero history manipulation across all 11 pages.
Audit date: June 8, 2026 · Re-audit: On every deployment

Why this matters: gobii.reviews uses static HTML with standard <a href> navigation. The browser back button always works as expected. Even legitimate single-page application patterns can trigger false positives under Google's new enforcement — but we have zero risk because we don't use any SPA framework.
