Generate a complete written Technical SEO Report for any site — verified crawl data, Page Importance, safety checks, findings and recommendations, with an AI-written narrative — ready to open, print and hand to a client.
Read more →Site Safety Check verdicts and their daily history are now available programmatically — public API endpoints, MCP tools for AI assistants, and CLI commands.
Read more →A new Page Importance score (0–10) for every page, measured from how often verified Googlebot and Bingbot really return to it — Google's own recrawl behaviour, used as its ranking of your site.
Read more →A new Site Checks page continuously watches your logs for the problems that silently hurt search visibility — Googlebot being blocked or rate-limited, unreliable robots.txt serving, sensitive files exposed — and alerts you the moment a check starts failing.
Read more →Site Checks now includes active probes — Salience fetches your site directly to verify what logs can't show, like whether robots.txt is served statically, crawlers are kept out of A/B tests, and HTTPS canonicalisation is clean.
Read more →A complete compliance pack for your legal team — Data Processing Agreement that applies automatically to every account, sub-processor list with 30-day change notice, Art. 32 security overview, and a pre-filled Legitimate Interests Assessment template.
Read more →Setup links you send to a developer now include a full step-by-step Netlify Log Drain walkthrough and hand over the correct endpoint URL, instead of an ingest key that doesn't work for Netlify.
Read more →Trend arrows on every headline stat, a "Top problems right now" panel with AI-recommended actions, a verified-vs-impersonator bot summary, and progressive loading so the page appears instantly.
Read more →Every bot on the Bots & Crawlers page now shows an allowed% / blocked% column — how much of its traffic your site serves versus rejects — and the list can be sorted by either.
Read more →A new dashboard panel splits AI traffic by intent — models training on your content, AIs answering real people's questions with it (RAG), and crawlers indexing you for AI search — each with trends and top bots.
Read more →Shopify stores can now stream real-time storefront logs to Salience by fronting the store with a free Cloudflare zone — on any Shopify plan, no apps, no server.
Read more →Sites hosted on Kinsta can now connect to Salience with just a Kinsta API key — we pull your access logs every 15 minutes through the official Kinsta API, no agents and no CDN changes required.
Read more →Hacking-probe alerts no longer flag ordinary visitors loading WordPress assets or verified search-engine crawlers, so the alerts you see now represent genuine scanning activity.
Read more →Setup links you send to your developers are now valid for 30 days instead of 7, survive our internal maintenance, and tell late clickers exactly what to do when a link has lapsed.
Read more →Delegated setup links for server-log (Vector) integrations now walk your developer through install, configuration, and go-live — including a generated, ready-to-deploy vector.yaml.
Read more →Large bursts of incoming logs are now processed well within delivery timeouts, so high-traffic moments land on your dashboard in real time instead of falling back to delayed batch recovery.
Read more →There's now a Google Inspection Tool page in the SEO section, showing exactly which of your URLs Google is inspecting, how often, and — crucially — how much of that "Inspection Tool" traffic is genuinely Google versus spoofed.
Read more →A new anonymous demo at app.loglens.ai/demo lets visitors explore the full dashboard in read-only mode against one of our own websites' live data. No signup, no email, no card — every page works, just with PII and site identity obfuscated.
Read more →Weekly and monthly report delivery has been moved off the single shared-budget Lambda and onto a per-user fan-out. One slow user can no longer push later users past the time budget — and a timeout mid-run no longer locks a user out of that week's report.
Read more →Following the alert-digest and weekly-report fan-out work earlier today, the anomaly detector and the monthly storage-calculator now also run one Lambda per site. No more shared time budgets means one busy site can't slow down anyone else's checks.
Read more →Daily alert digests were occasionally being missed because one slow site could swallow the whole anomaly-detector budget and starve every site after it. We've moved digest delivery to a per-site fan-out so each site's digest runs in its own isolated Lambda invocation.
Read more →The weekly report's "vs previous week" percentages were inflated because the report queried the legacy Athena table directly instead of the unified view. A 5% real change was rendering as a 580% increase.
Read more →The "Save this token now" step in the Apache / Nginx onboarding flow now shows the full token with a one-click copy button, so it's easy to stash in a password manager or secret store before continuing.
Read more →Salience now ingests from any Linux web server running Apache or Nginx via the open-source Vector agent. Pick the platform in onboarding, get a pre-filled vector.yaml, install and you're done in under ten minutes.
Read more →When the homepage compatibility checker detected Nginx or Apache and you clicked the email setup link, the dashboard onboarding incorrectly showed "Detected: Cloudflare". It now carries the original detection through and lands on the Vector flow as intended.
Read more →Homepage, comparison pages and help docs were still pitching Salience as a Cloudflare / Vercel / CloudFront story. Updated everywhere to include the Apache / Nginx (Vector) path we shipped earlier today.
Read more →CSVs downloaded from the Recommendations page (IPs, 404s, unverified bots, slow paths) now embed the active website domain so files from multiple sites no longer collide in your Downloads folder.
Read more →
A live public status dashboard showing the health of every Salience subsystem — web, ingestion, dashboards, background jobs, notifications — plus active and recent incidents.
Read more →
Four new public API endpoints (exports, alerts, alerts/config, llms), eight previously-undocumented SEO endpoints written up, every recently-shipped feature added to help docs, plus matching MCP tools and CLI commands.
Read more →The four new commands added today — exports, alerts, alerts-config and llms — are now installable. CLI shipped as @loglens/cli 1.1.0 on npm; MCP server pushed to mcp-loglens.com.
Read more →Every shipped feature, improvement and fix is now logged at salience.com/changelog — grouped by month, with screenshots and an RSS feed for following along.
Read more →Each tab on the Recommendations page now has its own "Export this page" (instant CSV) and "Export all" buttons. Big datasets queue a background job and land in Downloads instead of choking your browser.
Read more →
The page-header time picker now drives every Recommendations tab. Empty results explain themselves (no traffic in window vs. Athena timed out) instead of just showing a blank table.
Read more →
The headline counts at the top of the IP Analysis page were silently capped at 25,000 because of a query truncation limit. Sites with higher daily volume now see accurate totals.
Read more →The daily digest email was silently skipped for Free and Basic plan accounts. Both tiers now receive it on the same schedule as paid plans.
Read more →Every Athena-backed query in the dashboard API is now cache-fronted by Redis. Repeat loads of the same time window return in milliseconds instead of seconds.
Read more →Gmail-style row selection, three-state sortable column headers, and country emoji flags landed across all four Recommendations tabs.
Read more →
Alert severities now reflect how much evidence backs them, and the Alerts page date filter is driven by the same page-header time picker every other page uses.
Read more →
Welcome emails, alert notifications, weekly reports, daily digests, password resets — all rebuilt on a single shared template. Cleaner, easier to scan, and identifiable at a glance in a busy inbox.
Read more →An AI-powered chat assistant is now available in the bottom-right of every page on both the marketing site and the dashboard, with a clean handoff to human support when it can't answer.
Read more →
Drop a Screaming Frog Events log export straight into the Import Logs page. Format is auto-detected, deduped against existing data, and you get an email when processing finishes.
Read more →
Every incoming request is now tagged with a header-completeness "client class" at ingest. The dashboard surfaces the breakdown, with click-through to the underlying requests.
Read more →
A new daily scan flags requests where what looks like an API key, access token or password ended up in a URL — usually a logging or redirect bug. Hits raise an alert.
Read more →A complete refresh of salience.com — persona-led homepage, side-by-side comparison pages against the major log analysers, and a free compatibility tool that tells you in 10 seconds whether your site is set up for log analysis.
Read more →
A weekly digest goes out per-site (rather than one bundled email per account). Defaults to on for new sites; existing sites can opt in. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe.
Read more →A new "Console" theme that mirrors Google Search Console's visual language, plus a one-click toggle between bar charts and line/area charts on every analytics page.
Read more →
Traffic-blackout alerts now probe your site before firing. Redirect-storm alerts include the top source IP and a scraper-detection flag. Crawler thresholds tightened across the board.
Read more →Click Share on any dashboard to get a public, read-only link. Useful for sending a snapshot to a colleague who doesn't have a Salience account, or pasting into a slide.
Read more →
A new /tools section with a handful of standalone, no-signup utilities — bot user-agent decoder, fake bot checker, AI crawler index. Useful even if you never become a customer.
Read more →Salience now runs on Stripe for subscriptions, trials and overage billing. Four plan tiers with clear quotas, opt-in overages, and a Plan Builder for admins to tune limits per-organisation.
Read more →The single SEO page is now twelve focused sub-pages — Sitemap Coverage, Google Index, Site Sections, Path Explorer, Status Consistency, Redirects, Soft 404s, Crawl Budget, URL Patterns, Robots.txt, Response Times, LLM Crawlers — each with its own help tooltip.
Read more →
Every dashboard page now has a "Page Guide" modal that auto-opens on first visit and is dismissable forever per page. Click "Page Guide" in the page header to bring it back.
Read more →Switch between Default, Light, Dark and Console themes from the page header. AI insights can now be exported as a polished PDF for sharing.
