First harvest of the summer

This June was the hottest month of 2017 so far. Obviously. But I think that part of that heat came from our developers' computers while they were working on new features.

Most of the upgrades this month are secret, and we will keep them secret until release, which means there's nothing for me to talk about in this article.

Ok, you got me, that's not all. We have actually made some awesome improvements to out Site Audit tool, let me show you what's new with it.

New looks

Not only we improved the functional part, but we've also made it look better.

Exhibit A: The menu

Look how small it is now. It used to be three times bigger, with all of the categories listed inside the menu. No one used that and people had to flip their monitors 90 degrees so that it would fit.
Now it's all good.

Exibit B: Overview

Overview now displays the results of your latest audit and it shows you results of a previous audit. You can now see if your website is getting better in one place. Also, I personally think it looks cooler than it used to.

New features

Now let's get to the most important part.

1. Error classification

We used to have three classes of errors sorted by priority: high, medium, and low.

In this update, we've introduced one more class — information.
It shows places on your websites which require attention but aren't necessarily errors, such as presence of a canonical tag on a page.

Having a canonical on your page is not an error, but we just want you to know there is one, in case you didn't put it there.

2. Checking for viruses

Yes, we're an antivirus now. We're taking data from Google Safe Browsing which means if we say there's a virus, Google found. And that just can't be good for SEO.

3. SDO score dynamics graph

This update allows you to track how your website is improving without having to check the SDO score for numerous dates. Just set up an automated audit and track the progress.

4. A helpful list of errors

It used to be just a list, now it's a list where you can expand every error type to see where the errors were found, how many, how many errors of this type there used to be and how to fix them.

Ok, now it's over. No bamboozle this time.

Go ahead and run an audit on your website right now. Right. Now. It's going to be awesome. And if you have any questions or suggestions don't hesitate to leave them in comments. Cheers!
