Blog: Faster Images, Richer Author Profiles, and Better SEO Improvement

Your blog just got faster and more search-friendly. We’ve rolled out a set of improvements to the native blog platform that boost page speed and strengthen your blog’s SEO.

Faster image loading: Blog images now load through the CDN with responsive sizing, so visitors on mobile get smaller images and visitors on desktop get sharper ones — without you having to do anything. Images also load lazily, meaning they only download as the visitor scrolls down, improving your page speed scores.
Richer author profiles for search engines: Author listing pages now include ProfilePage schema markup, helping Google connect your authors to their content. You can also add Works For and Knows About fields to author profiles, giving search engines more context about your team’s expertise.
Better breadcrumbs and image accessibility: Breadcrumbs on blog pages now display the actual page title instead of a generic label, and hero images include proper descriptive text for search engines and screen readers.

Payment Re-sync and Auto-recovery Improvement

Occasionally, an online payment may show as “failed” or “abandoned” in your backoffice even though the customer actually paid — this can happen due to a network drop during checkout, delayed UPI confirmations, or gateway processing delays.

Automatic recovery (Razorpay): The system now automatically detects when Razorpay confirms a successful capture for a payment that was earlier marked as failed or abandoned, and recovers it — no action needed from you.
Re-sync with payment gateway: A new button on the payment details screen lets you check the actual status with your gateway and update the record in one click. Currently available for Razorpay.
Mark as successful: For online payments on gateways where re-sync isn’t yet available, you can manually mark a payment as successful after verifying it with your gateway.

Comprehensive Favicon Support Improvement

Favicons — the small icons that appear in browser tabs, bookmarks, and Google Search results — now work reliably across all devices. Previously, uploaded favicons didn’t always display correctly due to missing sizes and format issues.

Now, when you upload a favicon in Website > General, the platform automatically generates all required sizes — for browser tabs (32×32), Google Search results (48×48), and mobile home screen icons (192×192). Your icon will also appear when visitors save your site to their phone’s home screen.

Smart size handling: If your uploaded image is smaller than a required size, that size is skipped automatically — no blurry, upscaled icons.
Upload guidance: The admin UI now warns you if your image is too small or not square, so you know exactly what to fix.

For best results, upload a square PNG at least 192×192 pixels.
