Latest observed copyright year is at least two years behind
ShipReady found a supported copyright notice whose newest non-future year is at least two years earlier than the scanner's current UTC year.
Why it matters
A copyright notice can be a useful maintenance signal, so an old value is worth confirming rather than leaving unintentionally.
How ShipReady detects it
What it inspects
ShipReady reads already-fetched readable text and recognises supported copyright-notice forms with a year or year range.
What triggers a finding
The rule triggers when the newest observed non-future copyright year is at least two years behind the scanner's current UTC year. A range is judged by its upper year, and a one-year gap does not trigger it.
What the evidence shows
A supported copyright notice with the reported year was observed in the inspected readable text.
Limits of this check
ShipReady does not determine whether the site is maintained, whether the notice is legally required, who owns the work, or whether a different date elsewhere is more appropriate.
How to fix it
Confirm the intended notice
Review the footer or shared template and update the copyright range only when it should reflect the current published state.
How to verify the change
Inspect the deployed notice
Check the served page after deployment, including pages that share the footer.
Expected: The published copyright notice reflects the intended year or range.
