Parallel scan engine

  • Scans now run as parallel per-page jobs instead of one long process — a full 16-page audit finishes in minutes, and a single slow page can no longer stall the whole scan.
  • PageSpeed daily-quota exhaustion is detected in minutes and reported honestly ("our quota, not your site — re-run free") instead of hanging.
  • Live progress: stable page counter, an ETA that only counts down, and a stall notice when PageSpeed rate-limits us.

AI readiness, rebuilt: 17 checks across three pillars

  • The AI score now measures Access (can AI crawlers fetch you — including whether your CDN blocks them), Comprehension (can they parse you — validated structured data, JS-shell detection, heading outline), and Trust (author provenance, content dates).
  • Blocking answer-engine crawlers (OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Claude-User…) now fails the check — that is what forfeits AI citations. Training opt-outs (GPTBot, CCBot…) are reported but never penalized: protecting IP is a legitimate choice.
  • Structured data is validated for required properties per type — a Product without offers or an Article without datePublished gets named, not just counted.
  • Googlebot and Bingbot joined the AI lens: ChatGPT search and Copilot ride Bing’s index, AI Overviews ride Google’s.

Sign-in hardening

  • Sessions now expire server-side; a stolen cookie value is useless after 90 days.
  • Sign-out revokes every report cookie on the device — shared machines stay safe.
  • Magic links are valid for 15 minutes (copy now matches reality), with a resend button on a 60-second cooldown.
  • A locked report now offers "sign in to your dashboard" and returns you to that exact report, unlocked.

Reports that answer "so what?"

  • The cover now names the single highest-severity fix holding your verdict back — no more "everything is green, why is it Almost ripe?"
  • Accessibility: every button and badge on the site meets WCAG AA contrast (verified with Lighthouse at 100).
  • Comparison table scrolls properly on phones, and one competitive claim we couldn’t stand behind was reworded.

June 6, 2026

Buyer dashboard + free re-runs

  • Magic-link sign-in: every scan you’ve bought, across every domain, in one dashboard.
  • Each paid audit includes 3 free re-runs — re-scan after every release and compare page-by-page.
