Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
Management Charles Posted Wednesday at 10:15 PM Management Posted Wednesday at 10:15 PM Over the next few days you will see some improvements for static resources served on our network. Static resources are items like images, videos, JavaScript, CSS, and any other file attachments. These changes do not yet apply to your actual dynamic community pages. We will follow up with more updates on improvements we are making there. Brotli Compression When your browser supports it, all static files will use Brotli compression. Brotli offers a higher compression which often results in faster page load times. WebP Images WebP is an image compression format that offers higher compression for images which also results in faster load times. Most images will automatically be served as WebP with no input from you. We will be also adding an option to opt-out of WebP compression for your community if your focus is on high-quality images. High Cache Hits We can now server a greater percentage of request as a cache hit which means responses will be more geographically centered where you are. More speed improvements. EU Restrictions For clients choosing to host in our EU region, your static media is already stored in the EU. Our new changes will also mean that the network layer will also be restricted to EU locations. If you are interested in moving your Invision Community to our EU region, please contact us. There is no charge to move to EU on the Creator Pro package and above. Better Analytics In a future release, you will be able to see static media storage, bandwidth, and traffic statistics in your AdminCP. Video Speed Viewing videos will be greatly enhanced with chunked buffering allowing for more responsive skipping to different parts of videos and faster encoding of newly uploaded videos. Enhanced Security Files that require a signed URL for download will be more secure and allow for more reliable signing. We will also be enforcing the latest version of TLS for connections and implementing connection rate limiting to disallow scraping. Finally, we will be implementing bot control to block unfriendly bots or things like AI bots that do not provide direct SEO benefit. We hope you enjoy these improvements. Look for more updates as we announce other back end improvements to speed, security, and stability. Jimi Wikman, Marc, SoloInter and 4 others 6 1

James Hargreaves Posted Thursday at 06:16 PM Posted Thursday at 06:16 PM I am seeing lots of formatting issues across both our site and ACP, plus problems with the editor not loading properly, etc. Could it be related, or do I have a separate issue do you think?

It's possible it is related. Email support an example page. I looked at your site now and did not see any issues. James Hargreaves 1

I looked at your site now and did not see any issues. Thanks Charles, email sent. There's definitely an issue - the post editor won't load, menus aren't working properly in ACP, my logo has disappeared, tabulated settings pages are now loading as one long page, etc. It has been like this for over an hour and I'm getting reports from other users of encountering issues with posting/site loading (nobody has been able to post for over an hour).
