What We Shipped in March 2026 — and What's Coming

A look at the biggest improvements we made to Website Analyzer this month — from a new executive summary to clean shareable links — and a signal of what this blog will be.

This is the first post on this blog, so let me be upfront about what it's for.

Website Analyzer started as a tool to quickly surface what a site is actually made of — its tech stack, security posture, SEO health, and more — without logging in or paying for anything. It's still that. But over the past few weeks it's grown meaningfully, and I want to have somewhere to write about what changed, why, and what's coming next. This blog is that place.

Going forward, every significant feature update will get a post here. Not marketing copy — just an honest account of what shipped, what problem it was solving, and what we're thinking about next.

Here's what we shipped this month.

Executive Summary — see the most important things first

The biggest change is one you'll notice immediately: before the full analysis cards, there's now an executive summary. It shows your overall site grade (A through F, with a score out of 100), a "What's working" column with your site's key strengths, and an "Action items" column with prioritised issues — High, Medium, or Low.

The goal was to make the results actually scannable. Previously you had to read through 10 cards to understand whether a site was in good shape or not. Now you know in about three seconds.

The grade is a weighted composite across security, SEO, accessibility, mobile, and performance signals. It's not a vanity score — a site can look polished and still score a C if its security headers are misconfigured.

Shareable URLs

Every analysis now has a permalink.

This means you can share a specific analysis with a link, bookmark it, or paste it into a message. The "Share results" button copies the permalink to your clipboard. And if you visit a permalink directly, the analysis shows automatically.

Cache transparency and one-click refresh

Website Analyzer caches results to keep things fast. Previously that was invisible — you'd get results and have no idea if they were fresh or six hours old. Now there's a clear indicator: "Cached · 17 minutes ago" with a Refresh button right next to it.

If you want fresh data — say you've just deployed changes — one tap re-runs the full analysis.

Export: PDF and JSON

You can now export your full analysis as a PDF or as raw JSON. The PDF is formatted for sharing — useful if you're handing results to a client or including them in a report. The JSON gives you the raw data if you want to process it further or build on top of it.

A cleaner mobile experience

A significant chunk of work this month went into mobile. The results layout was reorganised so the executive summary loads first and the full analysis sits below it, clearly separated. URLs display as clean hostnames. The grade and score sit inline. The disabled state of the Analyze button looks intentional rather than broken.

None of these are dramatic individually, but together they make the mobile experience feel like it was designed for mobile.

What's next

A few things we're actively thinking about:

  • API access the analysis is already an API endpoint. Making it officially accessible with rate limits and a key system is the most-requested thing we haven't built yet.
  • Expanded third-party detection we currently detect a handful of analytics and marketing tools. The list should be much longer.
  • Backend technology detection inferring the server-side stack from response headers and other signals.
  • Monitoring being notified when a site's tech stack, security score, or hosting provider changes.
  • If any of these are things you'd use, or if you've run into bugs or gaps in the current analysis, the feedback link at the bottom of every results page goes directly to us. You can also reach us by sending an email to feedback@websiteanalyzer.dev

    More soon.
