Changelog

July 23, 2026 — indexed-content quality audit

• Audited every indexable built page by visible main-content volume and distinguished short utility evidence from genuinely thin explanatory pages.
• Expanded product facts, browser compatibility, privacy model and compression methodology into substantive English and Simplified Chinese references.
• Published a complete Chinese product-facts counterpart and paired it through canonical, hreflang, navigation and the sitemap.
• Added a global Guides link to the existing substantive homepage guide collection instead of creating more keyword landing pages.

July 23, 2026 — three practical image guides

• Published an Etsy product-photo watermark guide with relative size, opacity and placement test settings, while separating those recommendations from Etsy's official image rules.
• Published a local-processing privacy guide that explains reduced data collection, remaining network activity and device-side limits without claiming absolute security.

• Expanded both homepages with the implemented batch workflow, input limits, format tradeoffs, local privacy boundary, reproducible evidence and explicit product limitations.

• Added the About pair to global navigation, structured data, hreflang and the sitemap, and updated the AI-readable site references.

July 21, 2026 — practical ecommerce image guides

• Published an English and Simplified Chinese guide for compressing Shopify product images without presenting a universal platform requirement.
• Published an English and Simplified Chinese guide for batch PNG-to-WebP conversion, including alpha checks and lossless versus lossy decisions.

July 21, 2026 — advertising delivery and regional privacy messages

• Kept Google Auto ads and automatic optimization enabled while removing the first-party opt-in and idle-delay bottleneck from public content pages.

July 17, 2026 — P2 search platform and ad-delivery controls

• Added a public IndexNow key plus dry-run and production submission commands that read only indexable sitemap URLs.
• Added a search-monitoring cadence for indexing, aggregate queries, clicks, CTR, position and Core Web Vitals.

• Updated the Cookie and Privacy policies for the country check, local consent choice and current European CMP limitation.

July 17, 2026 — substantive SEO and GEO content
