Changelog

Every release, every fix, every improvement — in reverse chronological order.

v1.5

June 2026Latest

Added

  • +Product Data Legibility category (20% weight): measures whether product attributes are rich, granular, and machine-comparable — not just present. Three checks (attribute completeness, granularity, and cross-source consistency) over your JSON-LD and product feed, scoring how legible your catalog is to an AI assistant that shortlists products
  • +Discover → Understand → Act framing: scan results now group the seven categories into the arc an agent actually follows — find you, parse your products, then transact
  • +Ollama agent backend: the shopping/eval agent can now run on open-weight models (e.g. gpt-oss:120b) via Ollama Cloud, alongside Claude, for cross-model reliability comparisons

Improved

  • Scoring rebalanced toward discovery and representation readiness (Discover + Understand = 55%): Crawlability 20%, Schema 15%, Product Data Legibility 20%, Performance 10%, UCP 10%, ACP 10%, MCP 15%. Transaction protocols (UCP/ACP/MCP) are retained as a forward layer rather than the headline
  • Landing, results, and docs re-messaged around present-tense AI discovery — "AI assistants are already shortlisting your products"

v1.4

April 2026

Added

  • +MCP Readiness category (15% weight): checks for Model Context Protocol server discovery endpoints (/.well-known/mcp.json), allowing AI assistants to connect to your store's tools directly
  • +6-category weighted scoring: UCP 20% + Schema 20% + Crawlability 20% + Performance 15% + MCP 15% + ACP 10%
  • +MCP server: exposes scan_site, get_scan_status, and get_scan_results as MCP tools — AI assistants can trigger and read scans directly
  • +Scan artifact collector: persists raw crawl data (HTML, robots.txt, JSON-LD, feeds) to scan_artifacts table for debugging and historical analysis
  • +MCP Readiness feature page with protocol overview and check details

Improved

  • Category weights rebalanced: UCP, Schema, and Crawlability reduced from 25% to 20% each to accommodate MCP at 15%

v1.3

April 2026

Added

  • +Multi-page product crawl: scanner now follows up to 10 product page links from your homepage for better Schema.org coverage
  • +Redundant check deduplication: multi-page scans now show each URL as a subtitle when the same check runs across multiple pages
  • +Plain-English category descriptions in scan results — now explains what each category means for store owners, not just developers
  • +E-commerce detection banner: non-commerce sites now receive a clear informational warning in scan results

Fixed

  • ~Magento detection false positive: "mage-" substring match was triggering on image-heavy HTML (e.g., university sites). Replaced with specific JS global patterns (var Mage, window.Mage)
  • ~USC.edu and similar university sites no longer incorrectly score as e-commerce stores
  • ~"AI" and "HTTPS" now display correctly in check names (was "Ai" and "Https")

v1.2

March 2026

Added

  • +Performance category (15% weight): checks homepage response time, HTTPS enforcement, and redirect chain length
  • +Products feed check: validates Shopify /products.json feed accessibility, product data completeness, and variant data
  • +5-category weighted scoring: UCP 25% + Schema 25% + Crawlability 25% + Performance 15% + ACP 10%
  • +URL reachability pre-check: 422 error returned before scan starts if the target URL is unreachable
  • +Frontend URL format validation: invalid URLs are caught before submission

Fixed

  • ~Performance scores were blank in scan results due to missing field mapping in API router
  • ~Performance category was missing from "All checks" accordion in scan results

v1.1

Added
