v0.8.0

Released: April 2026 Type: Major feature release

PWA Platform

Full PWA support lands — turn any static site into an installable Progressive Web App, complete with push notifications, offline support, and per-user analytics.

Local PWA build (free):

• pageflare pwa build generates a web app manifest, service worker, icons (maskable + splash), and an SDK script from a single config file. No cloud account required.
• Manifest supports shortcuts, share target, protocol handlers, display overrides, and localized names.
• Service worker ships with configurable runtime caching strategies (cache-first, network-first, stale-while-revalidate, network-only), navigate-fallback allow/deny lists, background sync, and refresh-prompt flow.
• Icon generator produces all required sizes including maskable and iOS splash screens from a single source file.

Cloud PWA dashboard (paid):

• Connect a site to pageflare with pageflare pwa init and manage everything from a hosted dashboard.
• Push notifications — compose, schedule, and send to web push subscribers across Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari 16.4+. pageflare pwa push send, pageflare pwa push list.
• Install + engagement analytics — installs, launches, push opt-in rate, notification click-through. pageflare pwa stats shows a 30-day summary from the terminal.
• Install landing pages — branded, hosted install-walkthrough pages with iOS-specific guidance and 30+ language localization.
• Onboarding wizard — 9-step guided setup for first-time PWA users.

Free PWA tools (marketing site)

Four standalone web tools at /tools/* — no signup required.

• PWA Icon Generator — upload one image, download every icon size (Android, iOS, maskable, favicon).
• PWA Manifest Builder — form-driven editor that outputs a valid manifest.json.
• PWA Screenshots Generator — produce the install-prompt screenshots required by stricter PWA installs.
• Maskable Icon Editor — visual editor to compose an icon that meets the Android maskable safe-zone spec.

Pricing overhaul — CLI + Cloud split

New unified /pricing page replaces the PWA-only pricing. Two products sold separately, with Cloud plans bundling the equivalent CLI license.

CLI tiers (annual license):

Tier	Price	Seats	Sites
Free	$0	1	unlimited
Solo	$79/yr	1	unlimited
Studio	$199/yr	3	unlimited
Agency	$399/yr	10	unlimited

Cloud tiers (monthly / annual):

Tier	Monthly	Annual	Sites	Pageviews/mo	Credits/mo
Free	$0	—	1	10k	100
Pro	$29	$23	5	100k	2,000
Team	$99	$79	25	1M	10,000
Enterprise	Custom	Custom	∞	∞	Negotiated

• LLM commands on the CLI (seo fix, geo fix, llm generate) support BYOK (OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini keys) — no pageflare account required. Alternatively, buy credit packs ($15 per 1,000, valid 12 months) and let pageflare proxy the calls.
• Cloud credits meter AI-powered features (GEO answer monitoring, LLM auto-fixes). Optimizer runs, PWA generation, and deterministic fixes never consume credits.
• Legacy /pwa/pricing URL redirects to /pricing.

CLI licensing change — seo fix --auto and geo fix --auto

Breaking for Free CLI users. Both commands now require a paid CLI license (Solo or higher). The deterministic --auto mode previously ran on Free; audits remain free. Reasoning: fix commands write to your site output, and reliable auto-fixes are part of the paid value. Audits (seo audit, geo audit) stay on the Free tier.

Account + dashboard

• Team / project hierarchy with a switcher in the sidebar — organize work across multiple clients or products.
• GitHub OAuth login alongside email.
• Sidebar dashboard layout with profile, settings, and logout nav.
• User-sites management — add, list, remove, and get an embed script per site.

Marketing site + docs

• Mega-menu navbar with Product (4-card grid) + Platforms dropdowns, compact scroll-mode, and SVG vector icons.
• Rich mega-footer restoring all 6 social channels (Discord, YouTube, LinkedIn, GitHub, X, Bluesky).
• 12 new PWA feature pages under /pwa/features/* covering manifest, service worker, install prompts, push, offline, analytics, install pages, theming, asset hardening, and more.
• Restored content across feature and platform pages (WordPress, Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, GitHub Pages, AWS S3, and self-hosted).
• Cinematic GSAP effects on the WordPress feature page for scroll-linked animations.
• Emoji icons on grid cards across 35+ pages for visual density.
• Brand lowercased: pageflare (was Pageflare) sitewide.

Built-in app analytics

• GA4 helper with pre-defined events for onboarding, upgrade, and PWA actions.
• Analytics script loads lazily on first user interaction — no main-thread cost before that.

Security

• Critical + high-severity issues from the code review resolved: auth session lookup direct via Better Auth (no self-fetch), modal portal isolation for team/project creation, absolute URLs in the PWA embed snippet, sidebar and PWA-routes layout fixes.

Fixes

• --auto fix commands now point users to /pricing for upgrade instructions.
• PWA embed snippet builds absolute URLs using the user’s configured domain.
• Lucide <Github> icon replaced with an inline SVG (removed upstream in lucide-react 1.8.0).

v0.7.0

Released: April 2026 Type: Feature release

pageflare Studio

New local monitoring dashboard that shows site health over time. Studio ships as a separate binary (pageflare-studio) launched via the CLI.

• Multi-site overview — register sites, view trend charts, and drill into individual scans.
• Tabbed site detail — Trends / Scans / Pages views with filtering and live search.
• Per-page SEO analysis — inspect on-page metrics and findings for every tracked URL in a site.
• Scan detail — enhanced summary cards and category score bars.
• Alerts — notification channels wired to rule evaluation on every auto-saved scan.
• Launch with pageflare studio (default port 9876).

Site Monitoring

New commands for registering sites and running recurring scans. Results auto-save to a local SQLite database (~/.pageflare/monitor.db) and feed Studio, trends, and alert channels.

• pageflare sites add|list|remove|prune — manage the registry of monitored sites.
• pageflare schedule add|list|remove — register cron-based recurring scans. Use --every 6h shorthand or full --cron expressions. Scans can mix speed, seo, and geo types.
• Schedules are written to the system crontab, so they persist across reboots.
• pageflare speed, seo audit, and geo audit now auto-save results to the monitor DB when the target site is registered — no extra flags required.

Analytics Self-Hosting (Pro)

Five analytics providers can now be downloaded at build time and rewritten to a local path, bypassing adblockers and eliminating third-party DNS hops.

• Providers covered: Google Analytics (gtag.js), Plausible, Fathom, Matomo, Simple Analytics. Enable with self_host_analytics: true (default).
• Advanced transforms (opt-in):
  • analytics_minimal — replaces ~90KB of gtag.js with a ~1KB sendBeacon snippet that posts directly to the GA4 Measurement Protocol.
  • analytics_cookieless — keeps full gtag.js but swaps cookie-based IDs for a localStorage client ID (cookie_flags: max-age=0).
  • analytics_randomize_id — generates a fresh client ID on every page load. Zero cross-session tracking.
  • analytics_adblocker_detect — injects a 3-second check that warns in the console if gtag/plausible/fathom/_paq never loaded.
• Scripts are rewritten to /_analytics/{hash}.js and matching preconnect/dns-prefetch hints for the original provider domains are stripped automatically.

Shared Asset Graph

seo audit, geo audit, audit, and optimize now share a single cached AssetGraph via a new load_or_build_graph() helper. Subsequent audits on the same directory reuse the cache keyed by content hash — significantly faster when running multiple audit types back-to-back. Broken internal references detected during graph construction are surfaced as SEO findings.

Fixes & refactors

• Monitor writes now use transactions for consistency across scans, pages, and metrics.
• html2md conversion fixes for nested lists and code blocks.
• geo-optimizer LLM robots/theme analyzers tightened and deduplicated.
• Shared utilities extracted across CLI commands; Default derived where applicable.

New SEO Audit Rules

Three new rules added to pageflare seo audit:

Rule	Category	What it checks
readability-score	Meta & Structure	Flesch-Kincaid reading ease score — flags content below 50/100
image-dimensions	I18n & Media	Images missing width/height attributes (causes layout shift)
image-lazy-loading	I18n & Media	Below-fold images missing loading="lazy"

SEO Audit Output Formats

pageflare seo audit now supports 6 output formats (previously only JSON and table):

Format	Flag	Use case
table	--format table (default)	Terminal-friendly display
json	--format json	CI integration, programmatic use
markdown	--format markdown	Documentation, reports
github	--format github	PR comments, GitHub Actions
html	--format html	Standalone report with dark/light mode
sarif	--format sarif	GitHub Code Scanning, VS Code

Broken Link Detection

pageflare seo audit now detects broken internal references in your build output. The report shows source files and their missing targets. Results are included in all output formats.

Unified Audit

pageflare audit now runs all three audit engines in a single command — performance, SEO, and GEO. No need to run them separately.

• Shows performance issues (images, CSS, JS, fonts, minification), SEO score with recommendations, and GEO score with AI-readiness findings.
• Combined JSON output via --json includes all three reports in one object.
• --fail-under flag checks both SEO and GEO scores for CI gating.
• All three engines share a cached file analysis, so the combined audit is barely slower than running one alone.

Improvements

• Smaller default binary — optional components (WASM plugins for URL crawling and image processing) are no longer bundled by default, reducing binary size and compile time.
• Better markdown conversion — replaced the HTML-to-Markdown converter with a faster streaming engine. Produces cleaner output for llms.txt generation, especially for tables and code blocks.
• Shared analysis cache — running seo audit then geo audit (or vice versa) reuses cached file analysis, making the second command near-instant.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed pageflare seo audit and geo audit failing with “URL auditing is not available” when run from a project root without arguments.
• Fixed Pro license not being recognized after gen-license --install.

CSS	Unminified stylesheets, no critical CSS extraction, render-blocking background images
JavaScript	Unminified scripts, render-blocking scripts
Fonts	External Google Fonts, missing font-display, missing unicode-range, no subsetting, no preload
SEO	No llms.txt, no speculation rules, no preconnect hints, no SPA prefetching
WordPress	Editor bloat in static export, exposed wp-paths
Media	Unoptimized SVGs, YouTube embeds without facades, iframes without lazy-loading
Assets	No content hashing, no platform image optimization

• Generates an HTML report with scores, charts, and per-page findings.
• --json output for CI integration.
• Timing breakdown shows how long each audit phase takes.

Image Optimization
