The latest update brings version 9.2 to your Sitebulb Cloud workspace, and with it a new, shiny feature!✨

Lost & Found URLs

Lost and Found is an evolution of the crawl-on-crawl change history that has been present in Sitebulb for years. The new feature allows you to actually explore what has changed.

As in: which pages have remained since the last crawl, which pages were newly found, and which pages were lost, never to be seen again?

We've embedded this Lost & Found functionality all the way down to the Hint level, so you can really understand how each has progressed over time.

One other awesome thing about this feature is that it is all calculated automatically as soon as you run a new audit in a project (so it has something to compare to).

Unless you were in the middle of a big crawl, your cloud workspace will have already been updated (otherwise, the update runs after the crawl is finished).

You can read all about the new feature on the website here:

Hi there,

Sitebulb Cloud version 9.1 is now live on your workspace! Below is a very brief summary of the changes, and you can find all the details on our release notes page.

Google Search Console Integration Update

We have simplified our Google Search Console integration by removing device-specific data breakdowns (Desktop, Mobile, Tablet) and limiting keyword data requests to when the Keywords analysis is enabled.

This means that the data returned by the GSC API will be more accurate and closer to what you see within the actual tool.

Bug Fixes

This release also includes a number of bug fixes:

• Content extraction overview counts
• XML Sitemap Hints exports
• Error when crawling with Bingbot

The latest Sitebulb Cloud version update is live on your workspace!

Faster Crawling

This release is focused on performance. We have made some changes to the way Sitebulb handles your data as it crawls, to make auditing large websites faster, more stable, and efficient. In our testing, we have seen sites crawl 2 to 3 times faster than in the previous version. This is particularly relevant when auditing with the Chrome Crawler.

So, if you're one to watch the Progress screen while eagerly waiting for your Audit to finish, this one's for you.

More accurate Image collection

We have also made some improvements to how Sitebulb collects Image resources.

When using the Chrome Crawler and saving page resources, Sitebulb will only collect images found in the DOM - that means you may see a decrease in the number of images reported in your audits.

This results in fewer false positives and more streamlined and accurate data in your Page Resources and Alt Text metrics, and Hints.

Action Recommended: Delete Paused Audits

The new update and subsequent changes to the Sitebulb platform mean that any audits you may have paused before this version release cannot be resumed.

This may be the right time to go through that 'Paused' audits list and clean up any old abandoned audits!
