Heavy images have nowhere to hide.

Monitor checks LFW.com's discovered public pages for performance, including blog articles, alongside accessibility. A new image-size check flags heavy images and responsive variants.

Desktop and mobile performance checks cover the public inventory. Failed measurements stay visible in the coverage report.

An image over 1 MiB raises a finding; one over 5 MiB raises a serious finding. Shared images are measured once and linked to each affected page.

Features

Accessibility beyond a sample.

LFW.com now checks discovered public pages for accessibility independently of its performance sample. That includes blog articles, translated pages, and public pages kept out of search results.

Each public URL is checked at desktop and mobile widths. A problem on either view needs attention; missing pages and failed measurements are not counted as passes.

The published coverage distinguishes accessibility checks from the smaller performance sample. Automated checks still need human review of keyboard use, assistive technology, and interactive states.

Features

Clearer structure for assistive technology.

The quote form now has one clear main content area. Table headers in the sample report and audit schedule are labeled, and report indicators and filter groups have clearer accessible names.

Our target for LFW.com is 100 on automated accessibility checks. Any lower page score or confirmed issue is flagged for remediation, even when a rounded site average looks fine.

Automated checks are only part of the work. Items that need manual review remain separate, and a score of 100 is not a whole-site accessibility certificate.

Straight to the next articles.

Page numbers and previous or next links now load the next set of blog posts in place, then bring the first new article into view below the header. No trip back through the introduction.

The address updates as you browse, and Back and Forward take you through the archive. Search and topic choices carry forward without resetting the forms on the page.

The same improvement works in English, Spanish, and French. Ordinary page links remain available for direct visits, new tabs, and browsers without JavaScript.

The same action on a phone: open the blog and choose page 2. The original live page returns to the introduction; the updated source preview lands at the new articles. Both are actual browser captures with identical article content.

After choosing blog page 2, the original page starts at the blog introduction, with the first article near the bottom of the screen.

A lighter way through the history.

The changelog now opens with twelve updates. Load another batch when you want to keep reading, or use the page links to move through the archive.

Older entries are fetched on request instead of being included in the opening page. Month and category links still cover the complete history, and shared updates have their own permanent pages.

Before-and-after screenshots and enlarged previews continue to work in newly loaded updates. Ordinary page links also work without JavaScript.

The same 63-update archive before these announcements were added: the live original page and an isolated preview of the new pagination. Both show the end of the same twelfth update on a phone.

The twelfth update flows directly into another update, with the full archive already in the page.

See what was checked, not just a score.

Monitor now separates its public-page inventory from its desktop and mobile browser sample. Review indexing conflicts, page metadata, redirects, and the evidence behind a finding, with clear counts for checked, skipped, and unavailable pages.

Record intentional exceptions and add read-only checks for important page journeys. Browser checks can flag layout overflow, failed resources, and script errors without submitting a form or sending a message.

The Client Portal shows scan coverage alongside the findings selected for the client. A score describes the measured sample, not a promise that every page or interaction is perfect.

The Monitor guide explains the expanded checks, what needs configuration, and what automated testing cannot confirm. Start with a free audit or request a quote for ongoing monitoring.

One connection for our website tools.

LFW Connect brings the connections for Tag Manager, Activity Logs, and Site Search into one plugin for sites running WordPress. Each module has its own switch, so a site can use the services it needs.

The plugin connects a site to services managed through LFW. Advertising integrations still need account setup and verification before they can send events.

Follow a visit across the website.

Optional Replay can follow a consenting visitor between enabled public pages in the same tab. Review the pages in order or jump to a form start, validation error, or configured goal to see where the visit needs a closer look.

Replay invitations can be sampled, and remembered choices reduce repeat prompts. A recording shows the activity available to review; its last action does not establish why somebody left.

Features

Review tracking changes before publishing them.

LFW Tag Manager adds a workspace for integration settings, separate visitor privacy choices, previews, and published versions. Review a change before it goes live, restore an earlier configuration, and inspect delivery diagnostics in the same place.

Meta, LinkedIn, and Google Ads have dedicated settings. Each destination still needs account setup, conversion definitions, and a successful receiving-platform test before activation.

A link page with your own identity.

LFW Link in Bio brings your important links onto a hosted page with your logo, colors, background image, and self-hosted fonts. The portal editor includes contrast checks, link ordering, a QR code, and page-view and link-click analytics.

Our own page shows the public result first. Eligible nonprofit organizations can request a standard managed page at no charge; the product page explains the offer and eligibility.
