Tinylytics Updates

changelog

  • πŸ› Fixed a bug that would throw an error on a public status page when "filtering" was enabled in settings.
  • πŸ› Fixed an error on the billing page when you were subscribed to the old payment provider (Paddle).
  • πŸš€ 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).
    Uptime Widget on the right side
  • πŸ§ΉπŸ‘Ύ 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.
  • πŸ‘Ύ When an uptime monitor is paused it will no longer show the little "up/down" status in the site header or site list.
  • πŸ’‘πŸ€– Your past 7 insights are now also used to better formulate an insight for you when it works through the daily one. You'll see slightly tweaked text output depending on that.
  • ... saying that, please let me know if you have any ideas. I'd like to officially announce this feature soon, so please help me shape it ✌️❀️ 
  • πŸ‘ΎπŸ’‘ Insights are now included in your weekly email if you have it enabled. It'll take the latest one and show it below your hits and kudos data.
  • 🧹 Tweaked the order of links on your site view. If you don't like the new order, please just let me know.
  • ❀️ Added a few more mini feature cards to the homepage if you're interested. Tinylytics can do a lot these days, so I wanted to add a few more.
  • πŸš€πŸ‘Ύ 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.
  • πŸ‘ΎπŸ€– Tweaked the info available to Insights so it's a little bit more informative and also passes in trends for analysis.
    Insightful trends and an example of custom instructions.
  • πŸ€–πŸ‘Ύ 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 β€” 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.
  • πŸ‘Ύ Reworked the "Ignore Paths" logic and area so that you can now even add wildcard excludes for paths or areas for your sites, for example you could add something like `/posts/ignore/*` and it will ignore all paths that match the pattern. You can also delete any matching paths if you previously had some. Additionally, the area has been revamped so it doesn't feel out of place.
  • πŸš€ Added email recipients for your sites, great for adding extra people to share your stats with on a Monday. Read more about it here.
  • πŸ‘ΎπŸ€– Added an experimental, "LLM" powered, insights featureβ€”this is totally opt-in and not enabled by defaultβ€”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 for paid subscribers).
  • 🧹❀️ Gave the settings page, for your sites, a little bit of TLC. It's got a nice sidebar and some quick links to view email recipients, archived hits and ignored paths. In addition to this I have reworked the design a little so that all sections feel part of the design direction (some views were using different layouts).
  • πŸ‘ΎπŸš€ Added automatic hit deletion when you're on the free plan and you have hits older than 6 months. This is something I should have implemented from the start but didn't. You may have received an email with each relevant site that is affected. You will have a 28 day grace period to manually download your hits or upgrade. Additionally, your hits will be automatically exported and stored for you, so that you always have access to the data β€” there is a new area names "Archived Hits" in your site settings page. Just in case you forget to download them.
    Post archives list
  • 🧹 When your subscription expires and you had an uptime monitor active, it will now pause the monitor instead of fully delete it, allowing you to resume monitoring when you subscribe again without loosing past data.
  • πŸ‘Ύ You can now filter hits by referrer also.
  • πŸ€ͺ One new hidden feature that I will write about in the next few days for paid subscribers...
  • πŸ› Fixed an issue that would cause a rate limit to be imposed when returning Kudos counts on a page with many kudos buttons.
  • πŸ‘Ύ Uptime monitors that report a site down for more than 7 days will now automatically pause β€” you'll also get an email saying that this is the case. You can resume monitoring at any time.
  • πŸ§ΉπŸ‘Ύ When pausing an uptime monitor, it will now also change the "Up" or "Down" mini status to "Paused" with a yellow background.
  • πŸ‘Ύ Updated uptime monitoring to now again change check intervals depending on the site status, add info on what check period it's currently on. Also you can now pause and resume a check once again. Also changed the behaviour of check intervals when a site goes down β€” it'll check every 5 minutes instead of every minute to avoid false positives (this is a good compromise).
  • πŸ§ΉπŸ“– Updated the documentation about uptime monitoring giving more details and also IP addresses that should be whitelisted if you're using a firewall in front of your site (and the monitor is being blocked).
  • More to come and do :)
  • πŸ‘Ύ Some uptime changes are now back and you can enjoy the current status, uptime % and ssl status once again as they were with more useful info. I'll be adding more functionality and details soon.
  • πŸ›πŸ˜•πŸ”₯ I reverted to the old uptime monitoring solution for now. The dashboard for uptime will look as it did before all the changes. I'll do my best to integrate this better over the month of April and May. Thank you all for your patience on this ❀️
  • πŸ› Fix an issue with the uptime monitor where when the site goes down, and then comes back up, where no "Recovered" email was sent and where no event log was present for when it came back up.
  • ❀️ Upgrade emails will now be sent manually with my own human oversight instead of being automated. Sorry for letting that slip over the past weeks.
  • πŸ‘Ύ Added better handling of recording Kudos by moving it to a background process. There are also rate limits applied to the endpoint to make sure it's not abused (growing pains, huh?). If you see anything amiss, let me know.
  • 🧹 Made further tweaks when a "please upgrade" email is sent to allow for a bit of more leeway.
  • ✌️ Tweaked the criteria for sending "Please consider upgrading" emails so that it allows for some bursting over a 3 month period.
  • πŸ‘Ύ Added the ability to manually pause and resume an uptime monitor β€” useful if you want to keep a history of events, or making bigger changes to your sites that might have planned outages.
  • πŸ› Fixed an issue where uptime monitoring would send a "Critical Downtime" email, followed by an "Up" email in the same second. Please let me know if you find any other weirdness.
