Custom Viewport Size

Released March 20th 2024

We now show the viewport width and height which will be used for rendering in the project settings based on the selected user-agent, and you can override these values with your own.

You can view or change the width and/or height in the User Agent section of Advanced Settings in step 4 of the crawl setup process.

Accessibility Color Contrast Improvements

Released March 20th 2024

We’ve made some improvements to our color contrast testing to better identify background colors. This should reduce the number of false positives that you see in Lumar color contrast testing reports.

Breadcrumb Metrics

Released March 12th 2024

The first 8 Breadcrumb labels which include a URL item are now extracted from on-page Schema and available as metrics. This means they can be added to reports as metrics, used in filters on reports, and available in the Data Explorer.

Crawl Settings Download & Search

Released March 11th 2024

The crawl settings view now lets you search for specific settings with a filter, and download a CSV with the settings used for a crawl.

Disallowed URLs Stored for All Crawl Sources

Released March 1st 2024

Previously we only stored disallowed URLs discovered during the web crawl, and didn’t store disallowed URLs which were only discovered on URLs in other sources such as Sitemaps or Search Console. We now store all the disallowed URLs we find on any page in the crawl. As a result, you may see an increase in the Disallowed URLs report in new crawls.
