Hello,
We're pleased to announce the release of 4SEO version 1.2.2. This is a maintenance release with multiple improvements and a few fixes.
Here are the highlights:
- Added analysis option to bypass external caching systems such as CDN or server-level caching
- Added sitemap exclusions/exclusions lists with wildcards characters
- Now also crawling local links found in hreflang link elements
- Now also collecting links when they have a target=_blank attribute, despite this not being good practice
- Store display parameters per tab, with a global storage as well for when browser is closed
- More efficient Joomla structured data cleanup
- Also clean Joomla invalid structured data for logged-in users
- Added pagination option to show 50 items per page
- Now using weather-themed icons to signal OK/Warning/Error status in messages instead of just colors
- Added status role to messages on dashboard and other places
- 2 columns dashboard notifications layout for wider screens
- Now showing a dashboard message if an Analysis reset is needed after an update.
- Some system errors are now shown as one-off errors instead of being hidden under the notification icon.
- Added attribute to soft cron noscript image to prevent mod_pagespeed to 'optimize' - and break - it
- Added data-speed-no-transform attribute to some script and pixel images, prevents 'optimization' by JoomUnited Speed Cache extension
- Moved compact mode button to sidebar, next to dark/light theme switcher
- User set values for whether a page is canonical and sitemap inclusion can be forgotten if that page is recrawled after it has been modified in some way
- Structured data and Open Graph meta data were not output if no address was provided for default organization
- Latitude and longitude were inverted in automatic geo-location
- Cannot type in Website home address in settings without one or more / symbols being inserted by 4SEO automatically
- The ~ character required to enter regular expressions in page address exclusions/inclusions was not allowed in some input fields
- Redirects, replacer and other SEO rules hits were not recorded
- Long standing issue where 2 alert messages could be displayed at the same time and not be dismissed.
- CRON job request URL obtained with the Copy button in System configuration is incorrect
