• 🔧 Your uptime monitoring is now more reliable and won't auto-pause immediately after you manually resume it after extensive downtime (and where it triggered auto-pause) - we've added a 24-hour grace period when you restart monitoring for sites that were down for a while before resuming the auto-pause. Also improved background data syncing. • ✨ Uptime monitoring downtime history is now much easier to read - instead of confusing "76384 minutes", you'll see human-friendly durations like "53 days, 1 hour" with a cleaner, more organised design that fits with the general look and feel. Why not! • 🤔 Did...

• 👾 Made usage calculations more forgiving of traffic spikes - we now ignore your busiest month when calculating averages, so viral content won't unfairly bump you up. • 🎉 Paid subscribers no longer see confusing "please upgrade" warnings when exceeding 100k hits. Higher tier plans with self-serve upgrades are coming soon for those who need them. • 🚀 Free users still get helpful upgrade prompts when needed, but the new calculation is more forgiving of viral content and traffic spikes. • 📝 Usage numbers update in the background, so changes may take a bit to show up. The new...

• 🚀 There is now a read-only API that you can access as a paid subscriber. Go to your account page, select API Keys and create a key to get started. You also have access to the documentation. This is a work in progress and I will announce this more officially in a couple of weeks. Have a look and see what you think. API keys are read-only and I will be building out a full access based system over the next few months (more details when I have it). • 👾 Redesigned the account page so it fits better...

Insights

Hey there! I’m happy to share a new feature I rolled out a few weeks ago: Insights. I’ve been a bit slow to announce it (sorry, changelog readers!), but I’m glad to tell you about it now. Insights give you a friendly, easy-to-digest snapshot of your site’s performance over the past 7 days, with a sprinkle of historical data for comparison. Think of it as a quick, informal report that highlights what’s going on without overwhelming you with numbers. Here’s what you get:   • Traffic Patterns: See how your visitors are behaving.   • Best Performing Content: Find out...

• 🚀 Added the ability to toggle between a lifetime hits widget and uptime widget when viewing your website details. Just use the little arrow on the top right of the widget to change it (it's for subscribed users). • 🧹👾 Updated the design on the public page of the uptime widget. So it looks the same as above. It also adds the current status of your site. • 👾 When an uptime monitor is paused it will no longer show the little "up/down" status in the site header or site list.

• 🚀👾 Added simple trend percentage between your chosen filter (pre-defined date filter) and the previous matching week, month, or day etc. Available for subscribed users. They show on the site list and view in the hit counter. You'll see two trends, one for general views and the other for unique (if enabled). I might add an option to hide trends if you don't like them. • 👾🤖 Tweaked the info available to Insights so it's a little bit more informative and also passes in trends for analysis.

• 🤖👾 Following on from Insights, that I teased about here, you can also now add custom instructions to tailor it more to your needs in terms of tone and what you want to achieve — great to give it context what your site is about or if you want any specific input. You can add these instructions after you enabled it, up to 300 characters. Let me know how it works out for you all and I can tweak it. • 👾 Reworked the "Ignore Paths" logic and area so that you can now even add wildcard excludes for...

• 🚀 Added email recipients for your sites, great for adding extra people to share your stats with on a Monday. Read more about it here. • 👾🤖 Added an experimental, "LLM" powered, insights feature—this is totally opt-in and not enabled by default—that will analyse your traffic patterns every night, for the previous 7 days and give you some simple and light insights that might contain something useful. I am just experimenting with this, so I wanted to just say "Hey, maybe you want to give it a try". Give it a go, let me know what you think (it's...

Email Report Recipients

I’m happy to announce multiple email site report recipients for premium subscribers! This feature lets you add extra email addresses to get that Monday morning email report delivered right to them. It’s a simple way to share the good stuff with whoever needs it. This is going to be super handy if you’ve got a small agency (you know who you are!) and want to pass along that good looking email report to a client or even your teammates. It’s all about keeping everyone in the loop without any extra fuss of email forwarding or weirdness like that. Just head...

A joyful analytics tool for small websites, that's easy to use.
