What's new across WebIQ.

New WebIQ Platform and Content Hub Launch

WebIQ is now the central home for WebIQ products, educational resources, product updates, and measurement-quality content across the ecosystem.

• Launched the new WebIQ platform as the public hub for products, documentation, resources, and educational content.
• Consolidated public content into a unified structure designed for long-term growth, search visibility, and product discovery.
• Introduced a dedicated Marketing & Analytics Glossary covering campaign tracking, attribution, analytics, QR workflows, tag management, and measurement concepts.
• Added structured glossary metadata, internal linking, search-friendly term pages, and technical SEO foundations including sitemap support, canonical metadata, Open Graph sharing, and structured data.
• Established shared content architecture for blog articles, product updates, documentation, and future learning resources.
• Added product directories and resource pathways for UTM Guard, QRacked, and future WebIQ applications.
• Expanded privacy and compliance foundations with consent management, analytics controls, centralized legal resources, and a refreshed WebIQ visual system with dark mode support.

UTM Builder, Blog TOC, Auth Redirects, and Release Polish

• Added the public UTM Builder and authenticated /app/builder experience with live server-side GA4 validation preview, source/medium suggestions, generated URL copy controls, and anonymous copy nudging.
• Separated public and authenticated product routes so /validator and /builder remain indexable while logged-in users are routed into /app/validator and /app/builder.
• Improved Supabase auth redirect behavior for the shared WebIQ Supabase project, including explicit app URL handling for confirmation emails, password resets, sign-in routing, and logout redirects.
• Upgraded the blog reading experience with automatic long-form article table-of-contents generation from MDX H2/H3 headings, sticky desktop navigation, active-section highlighting, and standard crawlable anchor links.
• Refined public page UX across Contact, FAQ, Builder, Validator, Terms, Privacy, and Blog pages with cleaner hero treatments, consistent content widths, refreshed footer links, and updated Klaro consent styling.
• Updated project documentation to reflect the current route structure, validation architecture, builder architecture, auth behavior, limits, environment variables, and deployment notes.

Site Redesign, Dashboard Polish, and Validation QA Improvements

• Rolled out the new UTM Guard visual system across the homepage, public pages, authentication screens, and authenticated dashboard areas.
• Refined the logged-in validator into a wider, more app-like dashboard with improved dark/light mode surfaces, clearer metric cards, cleaner result rows, row IDs, pagination controls, and improved error messaging.
• Expanded validation QA coverage and tuned GA4 channel prediction behavior, including stronger handling for video sources, cross-network tips, malformed query strings, duplicate/conflicting issues, and export value consistency.
• Updated public SEO foundations with sitemap and robots support, stronger blog metadata, social sharing images, canonical metadata, and refreshed favicon/app icons using the new logo.
• Improved public content pages with consistent theme styling, wider page containers, cleaner blog layout and filtering, refreshed FAQ accordions, and updated Terms and Privacy pages with table-of-contents navigation.
• Reworked the global footer with WebIQ app links, product/support/legal navigation, social links, and a Cookie Settings action connected to the Klaro consent modal.
• Tightened authenticated/public navigation behavior so logged-in users can move between marketing pages and the dashboard without losing session state.

QRacked Revamp: Bulk Studio + Shared Styling

• Bulk QR Studio: Support for CSV/Paste bulk generation, up to 100 codes.
• Shared Styling Engine: Real-time preview and consistent styling across single and bulk modes.
• ZIP Packaging: Automated bundling of high-resolution QR codes in one click.
• Refreshed UI: Polished layout, new content pages for Privacy and Terms, and improved responsiveness.

GA4 Channel Classifier Integration + QA Accuracy Pass

• Added a shared GA4 channel classifier module backed by a JSON source-category lookup for search, social, video, and shopping so channel prediction logic is data-driven instead of split across duplicated regex lists.
• Wired the shared classifier into both the rules/tips layer and the production validator action so the Predicted GA4 Channel card and GA4 Quick Tips now use the same channel decision logic.
• Improved Email channel classification with a hybrid policy: strict utm_medium email tokens plus a curated utm_source email-vendor/source list, while avoiding campaign-based Email classification.
• Fixed classifier normalization bug that could corrupt strings containing the letter s and cause incorrect channel predictions, including Cross-network campaign matching.
• Cross-network prediction is now correctly recognized from utm_campaign values containing cross-network and the GA4 Quick Tip wording now explains that the campaign name drives the classification.
• Suppressed contradictory GA4 tips by preventing Unassigned-risk messaging when the shared classifier predicts a concrete channel and by suppressing domain-source warnings for known GA4 sources like ecosia.org.
• Cleaned up stale source-list logic in ruleset.ts where the shared classifier is now authoritative, while keeping the small search sources allowlist used by utm_term guidance checks.

Blog Metadata + Validator QA Accuracy Improvements

• Blog posts now support lastUpdated frontmatter and preserve original date for published timestamping.
• Blog article pages now show both Published and Last updated dates in the post header.
• Structured data for blog posts was upgraded to Article with both datePublished and dateModified.
• Email channel validation logic was tightened so non-standard mediums like newsletter are flagged as non-default for GA4 Email mapping.
• Content guidance was updated to reflect GA4 default channel expectations while keeping utm_source=newsletter examples where appropriate.
• Dynamic placeholder handling was refined: placeholder URLs now surface as review-needed with Unknown dynamic channel behavior and no duplicate placeholder issues.
• Paid Search channel prediction now aligns with GA4 defaults for search sources when utm_medium begins with paid, ppc, or cp.
• Missing required UTM issues are now deduplicated in the detail panel when rules-engine and API checks overlap.
• Required UTM keys are no longer labeled as missing when present but empty; these now show only the empty-value issue.
• Fixed mojibake/encoding artifact in the GA4 Quick Tip channel prediction sentence.

Validation Hardening, Auth Gate, Blog, and Klaro Updates

• Validation batches no longer abort when required UTMs are missing; issues are flagged per row.
• UTM keys are now case-insensitive with a single mis-cased key warning.
• Value casing warnings are deduplicated for clarity.
• + is correctly flagged as query-string encoding, not a literal space.
• Encoded placeholders are detected and surfaced.
• Dynamic placeholders switch predicted channel to Unknown dynamic and suppress conflicting tips.
• Added a blog and tightened Klaro consent behavior.
• Clearer messaging when signing in to validate larger batches.

New Contact + What's New pages

• Added dedicated marketing pages so QRacked customers can follow along with launches, FAQ tweaks, and roadmap updates.

Usage logging + scanner polish

• Instrumented the QR scanner, URL resolver, and analyzer to log real history.
• Improved file-scanner error handling and rate-limit messaging.

Holy Trinity Guardrails & Status Toasts

Added pre-validation checks for missing utm_source, utm_medium, and utm_campaign, surfaced the lonely URL alert, and refreshed the toast system with on-brand icons and colors.

Activity dashboard refresh

• Replaced placeholder activity data with Supabase-backed entries.
• Added caching and throttling to the URL analyzer.

New What's New Page

Added a dedicated page to track all project updates and feature releases. This page is driven by a simple data file to make it easy to maintain.

Marketing site upgrade

• Refreshed the homepage hero, FAQ layout, and footer to match the rest of the WebIQ portfolio.

Improved FAQ & Footer

Overhauled the FAQ page for accuracy and clarity, adding details about the validation process and data privacy. Restructured the site footer for better organization.

Static Pages & CSV Export

Implemented functional CSV exporting for validation results. Added dynamic Terms of Use and Privacy Policy pages. Cleaned up the homepage calls-to-action.

Launch of Rules-Based Engine

Replaced the initial prototype with a deterministic, rules-based engine for faster and more consistent results while keeping GA4 channel mapping stable.
