Crawl Safeguard Additional Status Codes

Release Date: February 26th 2025

In addition to the existing set of status codes, the Crawl Safeguard will now treat 403 and 405 status codes as failures. You can see the full list of status codes flagged as failures in this help article. In case you missed it, last month's release note covering the initial launch is here. 

Segment Trends Added to Reports

Release Date: February 20th 2025

To give additional insights into key trends for your most important pages, we’ve added trends for top segments into the trend chart at the top of Lumar reports.

For any project that has segments defined, you’ll now see the additional trend lines in the left-hand chart at the top of any Lumar report, for the top six segments in the project. As with other charts in Lumar, hovering over data points or the legend at the bottom of the chart will highlight that particular line, and clicking on the legend will remove them from the chart (and don’t worry, clicking it again will put it back).

The keen-eyed among you will also notice that we’ve made another slight change to the charts at the top of reports. Previously, we had a small button at the bottom of the chart that allowed you to move to more information—such as related reports—which was very easy to miss. We’ve therefore changed to a tab structure so you can quickly switch to other information relevant to your data analysis.

Robots.txt Options Added to A11y Crawl Setup

Release Date: February 7th 2025

While crawling for accessibility issues, robots.txt is ignored by default to ensure accessibility tests more closely simulate the behavior of user browsers. To make it easier to enable robots.txt for accessibility crawls if needed, we’ve added the settings to step 1 of the crawl setup in a Robots Overwrite section.
