Mon, 24 Aug 2026 09:00:00 GMT

Scan data is now kept for a set time by tier, each site has its own alerts, and site lists show favicons.

Added: Scan data is now kept for a set time based on your tier: 30 days on Free, 180 days on Hobby, 1 year on Basic, 2 years on Pro and up to 10 years on Enterprise.
Added: A Site alerts screen shows scan and score alerts for one site. The workspace-wide list is still there too.
Added: Your site list now shows each site's own favicon.
Changed: The AI readiness panel shows the weight of each of its three factors. You can see which one lowered your score.
Changed: Invitations and per-site permissions are stricter. A member can only reach what their role allows.
Changed: The billing screen explains more clearly what is charged.

The billing screens were redesigned, and the Links screen now shows inbound links.

Added: The Links screen now shows which pages link to each URL, not just where each page links out to.
Added: Usage statistics on the billing screen show whether your credits will last the month.
Changed: The billing screen was redesigned. It now shows how long your data is kept on your tier.
Changed: The affected pages table inside each issue was rebuilt. It lists every URL where the problem was found.
Changed: The site sidebar shows the health score as a dial.
Fixed: Viewers no longer see a scan button they cannot use.

You now have more control over which URLs each check covers and how fast the crawler goes.

Added: Check scopes let you limit a single check to certain URLs, or exclude URLs from it.
Added: Rate limit healing is a new site setting for servers that block fast crawls. It fetches pages one at a time, with a delay you set between them.
Fixed: Crawl depth was shown too low on some sites.
Fixed: The status code filter now separates URLs that were never fetched from URLs that replied.

A new explainer shows how your health score is worked out, and two checks were removed.

Added: A health score explainer shows how your score is worked out and how many points each problem costs.
Added: Leaving a settings screen with unsaved changes now asks you first.
Removed: We removed the question_format_headings check, because how you word a heading is a style choice, not an error.
Removed: We removed the ordered_lists_howto check for the same reason: using a numbered list is a style choice, not an error.

Mon, 17 Aug 2026 09:00:00 GMT

llms.txt is now checked for what it contains.

Added: PixyScan now checks your llms.txt file (a guide to your site for AI tools). It checks the format and that the listed URLs still work.
Added: Problems that affect the whole site, like robots.txt or the sitemap, now show their own evidence.
Changed: Scans now have clearer names in Scan history.
Changed: Sitemap handling was improved, including how PixyScan records where it found each URL.

Sun, 16 Aug 2026 09:00:00 GMT

Moving from your score to the pages behind it was redesigned.

Changed: You can now go from the score, to an issue, to the affected URLs, to each page's full report.
Changed: Filters are now remembered when you move between screens.
