Overview Navigation & Ledger Fixes
Project Setup becomes a place you can work from: every figure on the Overview links to the screen that does the job, and overdue work now counts your whole plan rather than the calendar alone.
New
- Project Setup Overview is now navigable — every figure and workflow step links to the screen where that job gets done
Improved
- Overdue and upcoming work on the Overview now covers your whole plan: SEO plan activities, milestones, Fix Tracker due dates and checklist items
Fixed
- The Scope of Work and Commitment Ledger tab could fail to draw and stay on Loading

Background Jobs, Search Console Workspace & Actionable Opportunities
The heavy work now happens on our servers instead of in your browser: Index Coverage, Sitemap Import and the Technical Audit run in the background, cover the whole site, and keep going if you close the tab. Search Console gets a proper home — both Google exports in one panel, every upload kept and downloadable, and any earlier upload viewable. Opportunities turn into work you can act on: scan, pin, note or send a page to the Fix Tracker without leaving the report.
New
- Index Coverage now runs on our servers in the background — start it, close the browser, and it keeps going with live progress at the bottom of the screen
- Whole-site coverage: runs now cover every URL in the project, not just the first 2,000 (8,482 URLs in under 13 minutes on a test project)
- Sitemap Import and the Technical Audit moved to the same background workers, so large projects no longer tie up the page
- A Google Search Console panel on Index Coverage explains both Google exports, shows when each was last imported, and uploads either in one click
- Import history now lets you download the exact file you uploaded, and switch the report to any earlier upload
- Opportunities are now actionable: scan a page, pin it, add a note, send it to the Fix Tracker, copy or open the URL, and jump to its SEO, Content and Links reports
Improved
- One background job per account at a time, plus a server-wide worker limit, so one big project can never slow the app for everyone else
- Affected URLs is paged — 10 rows by default, or 25, 50 and 100, with your filters kept as you page
- Faster project pages on sites with thousands of URLs, and lighter page loads on the Index Coverage report
Fixed
- Report Center listed coverage URLs from several runs at once; it now reads the latest completed run only
Security
- Notes can no longer be saved against a URL belonging to a different project
- Original Search Console uploads stay in private storage, are checked against your account on every download, and each download is recorded in the audit log

Scope of Work, Commitment Ledger & Search Console Insights
Turn a plan into a promise you can prove. Set the hours you actually have and CheckSEO fits the highest-priority work into them, produces a client-ready Scope of Work, then tracks delivery against it and warns you when it slips. Search Console exports now accumulate week by week, so CheckSEO can show what changed, why, and what to do about it.
New
- Scope of Work & Commitment Ledger: agree what you will deliver this period, then track every line against it
- Tell CheckSEO how many hours a day you have and it fits the highest-priority work into them — or plan it yourself
- Client-ready documents: a full Scope of Work and a one-page overview, with the option to keep hours off anything the client sees
- Work log and follow-up: record what was done, see your pace against what was promised, and get an alert on every project page when delivery slips
- Guided help built from your own data: an 11-step journey that ticks itself off, plus a help drawer on every page that you can minimise or switch off
- Search Console insights: weekly exports build up over time, revealing traffic cliffs, click-rate gaps and queries just off page one
- Two answers to every finding — a CheckSEO fix based on rules and evidence from your page, and an AI draft built from the same evidence
Improved
- Every figure is labelled by where it came from: imported Google data, CheckSEO calculations, or an estimate
Fixed
- Re-importing the same Search Console export no longer reports unchanged rows as new

Copy, rate, turn an answer into a task, or share it with your team.
New

New

Stronger Account Security & Bot Protection
A round of account-security upgrades: Cloudflare Turnstile now quietly blocks bots on sign-in, sign-up, and password reset, and new optional admin controls can retire inactive accounts and require periodic password changes. Password reset and forgot-password pages now link to a free Random Password Generator to help you pick a strong one.
Improved
- Reset and forgot-password pages now suggest a free Random Password Generator
- Sign-in stays available even if an email notification is delayed
Security
- Cloudflare Turnstile bot protection on login, signup, and forgot-password (no puzzles for real people)
- Optional account-lifecycle controls: inactivity retirement with staged email warnings, and periodic password expiry — both off by default and fully admin-managed
- Sensitive keys and secrets stored encrypted at rest

Smarter Scans — Plan First, Pick Pages, Handle Big Sites
A major scanning update: preview a clear plan before every scan, choose exactly which pages to deep-scan, and reliably handle sites with thousands of URLs.
New
- Deep Scan — choose exactly which pages to scan: search, filter (not scanned / low score), and pick up to 100 pages (200 on Enterprise), then run.
- Plan before you scan: Full Scan and Deep Scan now show the URL count, batch plan, and estimated time before anything runs — no more surprise long scans.
- Trust Score explainer — click the ⓘ icon beside any Trust score to see exactly how it is calculated and how to improve it.
- New “Deep Scan Pages” plan limit (Free 0 · Pro 100 · Enterprise 200) so you always know your per-scan page allowance.
Improved
- Sitemap Sync rebuilt for large sites: it counts your URLs first, then syncs them in batches with a live progress bar — 10,000+ URL sitemaps no longer time out.
- Full Scan now finds and reads your current live sitemap (via robots.txt) and runs far faster.
- Deep Scan runs in safe, resumable batches so large sites never overload the server — with live progress and cancel-anytime.
- Sitemap Report loads instantly even on huge inventories (page-by-page loading) and shows accurate URL totals.
- Validate XML now previews the sitemap size and URL count before it validates.
Fixed
- Report links (SEO / Content / Links) now keep your project context — no more “No project selected”.
- More reliable scans: accurate progress, a working Cancel button, and no more scans that get stuck at 0%.
