Version history

Released
v0.6.0

Shareable Reports & the All-Placements View

  • Public share links — share a read-only, branded link to any audit report with a client or colleague; no login required for them to view it
  • Turn sharing on or off per audit at any time, right from the audit page
  • All-placements portfolio view — see every placement you're tracking across every audit in one list, with when it first went live and when it was last verified, so failing placements stand out immediately
v0.5.0

The Web Relaunch — Link Audits & Placement Monitoring

  • URL analyzer — paste any page URL and get the captured links classified: internal vs external, follow / nofollow / sponsored / ugc. No installs, works in any modern browser
  • Interactive glow view — see the captured page with its links highlighted in place, so you can show a client exactly where their link sits
  • Placement monitoring with email alerts — save any placement check as a monitoring rule and get notified after a scheduled check finds that it disappeared, went nofollow, or changed anchor text
  • Client-ready CSV and PDF exports — hand over a clean audit report without screenshotting spreadsheets
  • Pro plan with a 14-day free trial — bulk audits, scheduled monitoring, and alerts for people who manage placements at scale
v0.4.0

Extension Removed — LinkGlow Is Web-Only

  • The Chrome and Firefox browser extensions are gone. The web app already did everything they did — paste any URL, get the full glow view, save to your account — with nothing to install or keep updated
  • New "Glow this page" bookmarklet — drag it to your bookmarks bar once, then one click on any page sends it straight into LinkGlow for full interactive analysis
  • If you had audits saved in the extension: they were already on your account the moment you signed in. Nothing to migrate
  • If you used the extension without ever signing in: that local-only data is unrecoverable. We held it as long as we could, but local-only storage is local-only
v0.3.0

Web App Overhaul — Analyze Any URL

  • URL analyzer — paste any URL into the dashboard (or the landing-page demo) and LinkGlow fetches it server-side, renders it in a browser engine, and classifies the links captured from the rendered page
  • Interactive glow view — the analyzed page renders in a fully sandboxed frame with links highlighted in place: internal vs external, or SEO mode showing follow / nofollow / sponsored / ugc rel policy
  • Audit detail tabs — every audit opens as Glow | Links | Page SEO | Placement, with clickable stat tiles (internal, external, nofollow, sponsored, ugc, images, broken) that filter a searchable link list
  • Page SEO reports — title, meta description, canonical, robots, heading structure, and warning heuristics captured at analysis time
  • Placement checks — verify a target URL appears with the expected anchor text and rel policy, and save any check as a monitoring rule
  • Domain groups honored everywhere — domains assigned to an "Internal" group count as internal in one-off, bulk, and scheduled audits; other categories organize domains without changing classification
  • More accurate nofollow detection — link rel values are matched exactly, so lookalike values no longer miscount as nofollow
  • Broken-link checking that follows every redirect hop, so a link that 200s through a chain of redirects still gets verified end to end
v0.1–0.2

LinkGlow Began as a Browser Extension

  • Highlighted every link on the page you were reading — internal vs external at a glance, with customizable colors and styles
  • Domain grouping to treat related domains (your own properties, sister sites) as internal
  • Audit folders to organize saved audits — a feature that lives on in the web app today
