π Fixed an issue that could cancel your subscription, by accident, when hovering over the "cancel subscription" button. This could sometimes trigger straight after the subscribe event and your mouse was at the button location.
ππ FINALLY I worked on fixing that "where is my stat report" email bug that has been on and off the past few months. I'm hoping that today everyone got their email reports without issue as the system was in place for the last 24 hours now. In the past it would send emails in one massive batch using one background process. That may have accidentally just "lost" an outgoing email randomly (with no errors). Now it'll do the same background job, but will create new jobs for each site that is ready to send. I could get technical, but let's move on.
ππ₯ Speed improvements all around! Yes, that's right. No more waiting 10 years (not actual 10 years) to get your current data back when you just want to see your 30 day snapshot. For sites that have a lot of lifetime hits, or just a lot of data in general, there is a non-scientific, nor tested, 10x improvement when loading your normal dashboard. Filtering is also super quick for any pre-defined range. If you have a custom range from the beginning of time... well, that might just be a little slower β although quicker than what it was.
ππΎ Path, country and referrer data is now paged on the site dashboard, showing up to 10 entries. If you have more, there will now be a little pager. Great to show you just the top 10... and everything else on another page. I might make that a setting to allow different amount of items.
π§Ή In addition to the above, when you're on a smaller screen, the data in the tables now scroll nicely, always showing you the hits on the right side.
ππβ° Timezones... yes, those. The data for your actual timezone should now always be correct! There were a few issues where timezone calculation was incorrectly applied especially when filtering. So when you select a date, it'll now show the actual data on that day for your set timezone. This has been a long standing issue which required some 4AM work π΅βπ« This also correctly applies to your email reports.
π§Ή General tweaks to the layout, for example slightly larger maximum width for wider screens, and a quicknav on your site dashboard that actually highlights the section you're on (for paid accounts).
π΅βπ« Probably something else, but going to leave it there βοΈβ€οΈ
ππ§Ή Fixed an issue with years being cut off on the charts, so I kept it simple and removed the year. Also tweaked the chart to just show the text "Views" and "Unique" to make it a little shorter.
Chart with just day and month, with year removed.
πΎ Added an extra option to disable collecting hits when your script is loaded on an error page. Go to your site settings -> Extra Setting and find "Ignore error pages". When your script loads, and the option is enabled, the script will do an additional "HEAD" check of the currently visited page it was loaded on and check if it gets an OK response back. If so, it'll record the hit as normal.
Ignore error pages option.
πΎπ§Ή Cleaned up the settings page a little by introducing a nav bar on desktop so it's a little easier to navigate. I'll keep working on this to make it better. It will stick to the left and scroll with you. Click to quickly navigate to any section.
Sidebar navigation.
πΎ Added an option, for paid plans, to allow stats to be filtered on the public stats page. This applies the same filtering logic as a logged in view. Only date ranges are supported right now. Stat downloads are also not supported with this mode. It's a bit of an experiment :)
π§Ή Slightly tweaked the layout of the account screen. I know... super noteworthy!
π₯ Things were running a little slow and some hits were not correctly recorded at random intervals depending on the amount of traffic. Hits have now all been processed so your data might look a little higher, and correct, if affected (a good thing).
π’ Speed improvement to the application, so hopefully everything should work as it was, but faster. This was only a configuration change and no server has been harmed in the process.
πΎ Improved drag and drop for re-ordering pinned sites. Should work much better now.
ππΎ Added a hits usage meter so you can keep an eye out if you're approaching any limits with your free plan. Check your account or billing page for the usage meter. For accounts that are not currently subscribed and are near their limit, you'll see a little message to please upgrade also when navigating the site. I'm also reaching out personally if I think you should upgrade (when you're way above the limit). Usage is calculated on an average of 3 months, which will allow you to burst usage without issue. Limits, at this time, are not enforced if I haven't reached out and hits will continue to be recorded. I believe in good will so I'm trying to balance things for everyone and keep it fair.
π§Ή Updated the homepage so it looks nicer. Give it a look and tell me what you think.
π Fixed an issue that may cause your subscription status to not be correctly set due to failed updates from one of our payment providers (Paddle). Please let me know if your status isn't correct or up to date.
π Fixed an issue that would cause legitimate traffic to be blocked.
πΎ Tweaked the way images are served on sites and from the webring.
π Improved and changed how unique hits are recorded. Read about it here.
π With the above change, you can also now see both total hits and unique hits on your graph in the site dashboard (and toggle between them using the legends) πͺ
π Finally, and hopefully once and for all, fixed an issue with some email reports going missing.
π Fixed an issue that would bring back all hit data when filtering by certain paths.
π΅βπ« Added better checking for bots and also try and mitigate any preloading hits to register, hopefully improving data.
π§Ή In addition to improved bot checking, we now use internal rate limiting. We have an upper limit of how many hits can be recorded at once within that time frame.
π Not exactly a new feature, so it should have the other emoji πΎ, however today I've made changes to the the way the site list loads. It was always slow, especially for sites with a lot of hits. Well, no more. It's near instant. In addition to this, the site list now updates automatically when your hits update β I really love this a lot! It's all automatic on a site by site basis. Next up would be to also update the site dashboard itself, I'll work on that one day.
πΎ Made some underlying tweaks when filtering data.
πΎ The global stats on the homepage is also "live".
πΎ Tweaked the status response code from 404 to 200 OK when a bot tries to load the script. Tinylytics always tries to block bots from loading the script and will render an empty script if so. However the 404 response may cause issues for things like PageSpeed Insights.
