Product updates
Every release, in one place.
Customer-facing improvements from the first public release to the current 1.5.0 build. Open any version for its full change list.
Clearer diagnostics, scoped evidence, and a calmer interfaceCompared with 1.4.0, guided checks explain their limits, reports follow retained history, and the popup and dashboard are easier to use.
What changed
- The Free Is it just me? check now explains live reachability, recent drops and latency patterns, practical next steps, and a link to outage history. Reachability, recurring-pattern and cause confidence are separate; the cause stays unknown because browser checks cannot distinguish Wi-Fi, router, DNS and ISP faults.
- Evidence Reports use one explicit reporting period with dates and time zone. The Free preview covers 7 days; Pro follows the retention setting: 7, 30, 90 days or all recorded history. Outages and monitoring gaps are clipped to that period, and totals use the same clipped evidence.
- Pro reports include up to 40 recent outages, monitoring gaps, an individual speed-test log, an ongoing-outage note when applicable, and a recurring-time observation only with at least 4 outages and 60% starting in one 3-hour block. These observations do not prove who caused a fault.
- Popup and dashboard have softer cards, a health-score ring, clearer typography, coordinated light and dark themes, and improved small-screen layouts. Popup quick actions fill the space beside the Speed test.
- The 24-hour uptime overview stays Free. Per-interval issue counts, uptime and average latency require Pro or an active Pro trial in both the popup and Realtime dashboard.
- Free and Trial users can open Upgrade to Pro and Activate license directly from the popup. A purchased license can be activated during a trial; activation opens Settings at the license field.
- Activity-based Pro suggestions follow repeated manual tests, sustained instability or the Free history boundary. They appear only on a healthy connection, never for Pro or trial users, at most once per 7 days, with a 30-day pause after dismissal for that kind and at most 3 shows per kind.
- Optional analytics retries temporary delivery failures without marking rejected events as delivered; permanent rejections are not queued and milestone retries are limited to once daily.
- Home and Pricing use actual extension captures in the product artwork, clearer tablet layouts, aligned purchase buttons and an emphasized Yearly recommendation. Help previews keep their aspect ratio and open larger on demand; screenshots and store artwork were refreshed using synthetic data.
- Added a guide for internet that keeps disconnecting and practical ChromeOS guidance for Chromebook users. Updated a dependency to address a security advisory.
Faster first value and a free taste of ProWelcome checklist with live speed results, one-time Evidence Report preview, bounded scheduled-test preview, and clearer pricing.
What changed
- The welcome page guides new users through three steps and shows the first speed-test result live.
- Free users get a one-time watermarked preview of the ISP Evidence Report once there is evidence to show.
- Free users can try one daily scheduled speed test for 7 days, with the data cost disclosed upfront.
- The pricing page explains outcomes, renewal, activation, devices, and the trial; prices are unchanged.
- Failed renewals keep Pro for a short grace while you fix payment, with a secure Stripe pay link by email.
- License-management email links are single-use with a 7-day expiry.
- Paid-only choices carry an ✦ Pro label on Free, and the welcome page shows the version and plan.
- The Chrome toolbar popup now opens at its intended readable width without a clipped, scrolling compact layout.
- The companion site's shared header and footer remain consistent while moving between menu pages.
Clearer live tests and easier Pro activationSpeed tests show their current measurement, checkout can activate the installed extension, and product controls are clearer.
What changed
- The popup dial, countdown, and current Mbps update live during download and upload.
- Slow download and fallback transfers stop at the measurement deadline instead of leaving the test estimating indefinitely.
- A completed checkout can activate Pro in the installed browser extension; the emailed license key remains a recovery option.
- Free-first onboarding, optional analytics controls, browser/version-only funnel measurements, and optional uninstall feedback are included in this build.
More useful free monitoring, stronger Pro evidenceFree monitoring covers more everyday checks; Pro focuses on proof, automation, and deeper diagnostics.
What changed
- Speed tests, one custom endpoint, basic PDF print, and the latency badge are now free.
- Speed-test history and scheduled speed tests add download and upload trends against your advertised plan.
- Pro adds ISP Evidence Reports with outage timing and measured speed versus your plan.
- The free "Is it just me?" check separates a network outage from a single site problem.
- Gaming and call sessions measure jitter, packet loss, and latency spikes for a focused time window.
- Monitoring gaps show when the browser was closed instead of being counted as outages.
Pro trial, better activation, and privacy-first analyticsA no-card Pro trial, clearer upgrade paths, and opt-in product insights arrived together.
What changed
- Added an opt-in 7-day Pro trial with no card required.
- Added feature-specific upgrade prompts in the popup, dashboard, onboarding, and after a real outage.
- Added trial-ending reminders that follow notification and quiet-hour settings.

- Kept the shared Chrome and Edge package with no permission changes.
Review prompts and store-aware routingFeedback prompts became more helpful and route people to the right browser store.
