This week's update is about the full footprint of your site. pangoling now reads every URL a site shows to search engines, groups them by template, and says which ones to keep, fix or cut.
New
- Footprint audit: reads every indexable URL on your site and groups them by template, so one fix covers a whole family of pages.
- Thin, duplicate and noindexed findings: listed per template on Optimize, under Technical.
- Cut list: after a Google update, pangoling proposes which weak pages to remove or merge, each with a reason. Nothing changes until you approve it.
Improvements
- Update verdicts: when a site has too few clicks to judge a Google update, the verdict now reads impressions instead.
- Footprint audit: slows down when your server asks it to, and skips paths that are not pages.
- Measure: every checkpoint now compares against an expected baseline, so a lift is judged against normal movement.
Fixes
- Fixed links on pages that pangoling adopted from your own site files not being picked up for refreshes.
- Fixed false findings in the site audit and AI search runs.
- Fixed counts that disagreed between pages.
