Product news and improvements from Salience, newest first. Subscribe via RSS if you want to follow along.
Website setup now offers "Use your agent" beside "Send to a developer": connect Claude Code, Codex, Claude.ai, Cursor or VS Code with your Salience login, paste one prompt, and the agent fetches the steps, applies them where it can, and tells you when logs arrive.
Read more →Connect Claude, Codex, Cursor, ChatGPT or any MCP client to https://mcp-logs.salience.com/mcp. The previous address keeps working, so nothing breaks if you leave your config alone.
Read more →Add the Salience MCP server to Claude and approve it in your browser. New to Salience? Create the account, choose Free or a 14-day trial, set up your first website and start a paid plan from the conversation.
Read more →Explore the URL paths AI crawlers read for model training, AI search indexing and user-triggered answers, with matching exports and agent tooling.
Read more →Organisations on the Free plan can start a 14-day no-card trial of Solo, Growth or Pro straight from the Billing tab. One free trial per account.
Read more →Delete your account or an organisation you own from settings, with a 14-day grace period to change your mind, and move between plans up or down without contacting us.
Read more →Paid plans now keep more of your log history: Solo 6 months, Starter 1 year, Growth 2 years and Pro 4 years. Free stays at 30 days.
Read more →The Salience CLI includes an agent skill with practical workflows for investigating search crawlers, AI traffic, errors and individual pages.
Read more →Follow your website's setup progress in one compact place, find reports through reorganised navigation, or choose the simpler Standard menu in Display.
Read more →Inspect a page from the app header, see when each source was recorded, read clearer Site Checks results, and send feedback without leaving the app.
Read more →The Bots page now has a served-vs-rejected table for every bot, showing the status codes used, whether the real bot or impersonators are being blocked, and the paths where it happens.
Read more →The URL detail view now has its own home under Pages, with a search box that suggests known URLs as you type. Search Console figures on the page follow the selected period.
Read more →Every path now has its own page joining logs, search-bot fetches, crawl, sitemap and Search Console. Alerts group into incidents that clear themselves and can be snoozed. Dashboards serve cached results instantly and refresh behind the scenes.
Read more →Connect a GA4 property to see sessions, engagement, key events and revenue beside the requests your server actually served, find out which AI assistants convert, and measure how much of your real human traffic Google Analytics never records.
Read more →Your own crawl now sits beside the logs on every SEO page. Search Console performance and queries are stored daily and reconciled against what Googlebot actually fetches. Slow queries can no longer show up as an empty page.
Read more →Every internal link from a Salience crawl drawn as an interactive map with internal PageRank, coloured by search-bot attention, plus two lists: pages you link heavily that Google ignores, and pages Google fetches that you barely link. The Site Crawler also gained live progress and a proper result card.
Read more →GPTBot now carries the OpenAI mark, Bingbot the Bing mark, Googlebot the Google mark: wherever the app names a crawler, the operator's logo sits beside it.
Read more →Define page groups once, blog, products, categories, old URLs, and filter every page to one of them; the Segments page shows each group's bot activity against the previous period, which is the migration view.
Read more →Upload a crawl or let SalienceBot crawl your site, then see the pages search engines ignore, the pages they fetch that nothing links to, crawl attention by click depth, and technical findings ranked by how many bot hits they waste.
Read more →New read-and-write API keys let scripts and AI agents acknowledge alerts, add site events, suppress bots, resolve recommendations, manage segments and start crawls, every action recorded on the timeline, and each recommendation can be turned into the exact Cloudflare, CloudFront, nginx, Apache, Netlify, Vercel or robots.txt rule for your platform.
Read more →AI traffic is now split into training, AI search and user-triggered fetches, robots.txt violations ignore fetchers, and a new report shows fetches taken versus visitors sent back per AI operator plus the pages AI search has never seen.
Read more →Named bots now come from a registry that discovers and verifies new crawlers nightly, and you can add your own bots per website so they stop showing as "Unknown bot".
Read more →A new Log Explorer page shows the raw request-level log for any site, filter by time range, bot, verification status, IP, path, status, method, country or user agent, click any value to drill in, open any row for full detail, and share the exact view as a link.
Read more →A new all-bots request export with a bot_scope selector, a max_rows cap that makes huge detail endpoints usable in agent tooling, short stable download links for exports, and documented bot scope for every export type.
Read more →Amazonbot now verifies against Amazon's 524 published crawler IPs instead of coarse cloud ranges, Meta AI and Bytespider verify against their operators' announced networks, and a broken scheduled sitemap sync is fixed fleet-wide.
Read more →Request-level exports now honour bot and status filters properly, include a hostname column for multi-host feeds, and tell you explicitly when a filter you asked for doesn't apply, plus a new feed_scope field so you always know what a site's feed captures.
Read more →Full-year date ranges across the dashboard were failing behind the scenes and could render as empty pages. They now load correctly, and much faster, with AI crawler and summary views serving year windows in a few seconds.
Read more →Generate a complete written Technical SEO Report for any site, verified crawl data, Page Importance, safety checks, findings and recommendations, with an AI-written narrative, ready to open, print and hand to a client.
Read more →Site Safety Check verdicts and their daily history are now available programmatically, public API endpoints, MCP tools for AI assistants, and CLI commands.
Read more →A new Page Importance score (0–10) for every page, measured from how often verified Googlebot and Bingbot really return to it: Google's own recrawl behaviour, used as its ranking of your site.
Read more →A new Site Checks page continuously watches your logs for the problems that silently hurt search visibility: Googlebot being blocked or rate-limited, unreliable robots.txt serving, sensitive files exposed, and alerts you the moment a check starts failing.
Read more →Site Checks now includes active probes: Salience fetches your site directly to verify what logs can't show, like whether robots.txt is served statically, crawlers are kept out of A/B tests, and HTTPS canonicalisation is clean.
Read more →A complete compliance pack for your legal team: Data Processing Agreement that applies automatically to every account, sub-processor list with 30-day change notice, Art. 32 security overview, and a pre-filled Legitimate Interests Assessment template.
Read more →Setup links you send to a developer now include a full step-by-step Netlify Log Drain walkthrough and hand over the correct endpoint URL, instead of an ingest key that doesn't work for Netlify.
Read more →Trend arrows on every headline stat, a "Top problems right now" panel with AI-recommended actions, a verified-vs-impersonator bot summary, and progressive loading so the page appears instantly.
Read more →Every bot on the Bots & Crawlers page now shows an allowed% / blocked% column, how much of its traffic your site serves versus rejects, and the list can be sorted by either.
Read more →A new dashboard panel splits AI traffic by intent, models training on your content, AIs answering real people's questions with it (RAG), and crawlers indexing you for AI search, each with trends and top bots.
Read more →Shopify stores can now stream real-time storefront logs to Salience by fronting the store with a free Cloudflare zone, on any Shopify plan, no apps, no server.
Read more →Sites hosted on Kinsta can now connect to Salience with just a Kinsta API key, we pull your access logs every 15 minutes through the official Kinsta API, no agents and no CDN changes required.
Read more →Hacking-probe alerts no longer flag ordinary visitors loading WordPress assets or verified search-engine crawlers, so the alerts you see now represent genuine scanning activity.
Read more →Setup links you send to your developers are now valid for 30 days instead of 7, survive our internal maintenance, and tell late clickers exactly what to do when a link has lapsed.
Read more →Delegated setup links for server-log (Vector) integrations now walk your developer through install, configuration, and go-live, including a generated, ready-to-deploy vector.yaml.
Read more →Large bursts of incoming logs are now processed well within delivery timeouts, so high-traffic moments land on your dashboard in real time instead of falling back to delayed batch recovery.
Read more →There's now a Google Inspection Tool page in the SEO section, showing exactly which of your URLs Google is inspecting, how often, and, crucially, how much of that "Inspection Tool" traffic is genuinely Google versus spoofed.
Read more →A new anonymous demo at logs.salience.com/demo lets visitors explore the full dashboard in read-only mode against one of our own websites' live data. No signup, no email, no card, every page works, just with PII and site identity obfuscated.
Read more →Weekly and monthly report delivery has been moved off the single shared-budget Lambda and onto a per-user fan-out. One slow user can no longer push later users past the time budget, and a timeout mid-run no longer locks a user out of that week's report.
Read more →Following the alert-digest and weekly-report fan-out work earlier today, the anomaly detector and the monthly storage-calculator now also run one Lambda per site. No more shared time budgets means one busy site can't slow down anyone else's checks.
Read more →Daily alert digests were occasionally being missed because one slow site could swallow the whole anomaly-detector budget and starve every site after it. We've moved digest delivery to a per-site fan-out so each site's digest runs in its own isolated Lambda invocation.
Read more →The weekly report's "vs previous week" percentages were inflated because the report queried the legacy Athena table directly instead of the unified view. A 5% real change was rendering as a 580% increase.
Read more →The "Save this token now" step in the Apache / Nginx onboarding flow now shows the full token with a one-click copy button, so it's easy to stash in a password manager or secret store before continuing.
Read more →Salience now ingests from any Linux web server running Apache or Nginx via the open-source Vector agent. Pick the platform in onboarding, get a pre-filled vector.yaml, install and you're done in under ten minutes.
Read more →When the homepage compatibility checker detected Nginx or Apache and you clicked the email setup link, the dashboard onboarding incorrectly showed "Detected: Cloudflare". It now carries the original detection through and lands on the Vector flow as intended.
Read more →Homepage, comparison pages and help docs were still pitching Salience as a Cloudflare / Vercel / CloudFront story. Updated everywhere to include the Apache / Nginx (Vector) path we shipped earlier today.
Read more →CSVs downloaded from the Recommendations page (IPs, 404s, unverified bots, slow paths) now embed the active website domain so files from multiple sites no longer collide in your Downloads folder.
Read more →
A live public status dashboard showing the health of every Salience subsystem, web, ingestion, dashboards, background jobs, notifications, plus active and recent incidents.
Read more →
Four new public API endpoints (exports, alerts, alerts/config, llms), eight previously-undocumented SEO endpoints written up, every recently-shipped feature added to help docs, plus matching MCP tools and CLI commands.
Read more →The four new commands added today, exports, alerts, alerts-config and llms, are now installable. CLI shipped as @loglens/cli 1.1.0 on npm; MCP server pushed to mcp-logs.salience.com.
Read more →Every shipped feature, improvement and fix is now logged at salience.com/changelog, grouped by month, with screenshots and an RSS feed for following along.
Read more →Each tab on the Recommendations page now has its own "Export this page" (instant CSV) and "Export all" buttons. Big datasets queue a background job and land in Downloads instead of choking your browser.
Read more →
The page-header time picker now drives every Recommendations tab. Empty results explain themselves (no traffic in window vs. Athena timed out) instead of just showing a blank table.
Read more →
The headline counts at the top of the IP Analysis page were silently capped at 25,000 because of a query truncation limit. Sites with higher daily volume now see accurate totals.
Read more →The daily digest email was silently skipped for Free and Basic plan accounts. Both tiers now receive it on the same schedule as paid plans.
Read more →Every Athena-backed query in the dashboard API is now cache-fronted by Redis. Repeat loads of the same time window return in milliseconds instead of seconds.
Read more →Gmail-style row selection, three-state sortable column headers, and country emoji flags landed across all four Recommendations tabs.
Read more →
Alert severities now reflect how much evidence backs them, and the Alerts page date filter is driven by the same page-header time picker every other page uses.
Read more →
Welcome emails, alert notifications, weekly reports, daily digests, password resets, all rebuilt on a single shared template. Cleaner, easier to scan, and identifiable at a glance in a busy inbox.
Read more →An AI-powered chat assistant is now available in the bottom-right of every page on both the marketing site and the dashboard, with a clean handoff to human support when it can't answer.
Read more →
Drop a Screaming Frog Events log export straight into the Import Logs page. Format is auto-detected, deduped against existing data, and you get an email when processing finishes.
Read more →
Every incoming request is now tagged with a header-completeness "client class" at ingest. The dashboard surfaces the breakdown, with click-through to the underlying requests.
Read more →
A new daily scan flags requests where what looks like an API key, access token or password ended up in a URL, usually a logging or redirect bug. Hits raise an alert.
Read more →A complete refresh of salience.com, persona-led homepage, side-by-side comparison pages against the major log analysers, and a free compatibility tool that tells you in 10 seconds whether your site is set up for log analysis.
Read more →
A weekly digest goes out per-site (rather than one bundled email per account). Defaults to on for new sites; existing sites can opt in. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe.
Read more →A new "Console" theme that mirrors Google Search Console's visual language, plus a one-click toggle between bar charts and line/area charts on every analytics page.
Read more →
Traffic-blackout alerts now probe your site before firing. Redirect-storm alerts include the top source IP and a scraper-detection flag. Crawler thresholds tightened across the board.
Read more →Click Share on any dashboard to get a public, read-only link. Useful for sending a snapshot to a colleague who doesn't have a Salience account, or pasting into a slide.
Read more →
A new /tools section with a handful of standalone, no-signup utilities, bot user-agent decoder, fake bot checker, AI crawler index. Useful even if you never become a customer.
Read more →Salience now runs on Stripe for subscriptions, trials and overage billing. Four plan tiers with clear quotas, opt-in overages, and a Plan Builder for admins to tune limits per-organisation.
Read more →The single SEO page is now twelve focused sub-pages: Sitemap Coverage, Google Index, Site Sections, Path Explorer, Status Consistency, Redirects, Soft 404s, Crawl Budget, URL Patterns, Robots.txt, Response Times, LLM Crawlers, each with its own help tooltip.
Read more →
Every dashboard page now has a "Page Guide" modal that auto-opens on first visit and is dismissable forever per page. Click "Page Guide" in the page header to bring it back.
Read more →Switch between Default, Light, Dark and Console themes from the page header. AI insights can now be exported as a polished PDF for sharing.
