When your page is shared on social media or messaging apps, the preview image now reports its real dimensions instead of guessed defaults. That means cleaner previews on platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp, with no surprise cropping if your image is a non-standard size.
We swapped the heading font on the Bubblegum theme to Fredoka, giving titles a rounder, friendlier look that better matches the playful vibe of the theme.
A new theme has arrived. Dark Golden pairs a warm near-black background with metallic gold buttons and a glowing gold-foil treatment on your profile name. Section headings also pick up a subtle gradient, giving the whole page a premium, polished feel. Available now in the theme picker.
Your published Sivu.me pages now load noticeably faster. We shrunk the JavaScript that visitors download, turned on response compression across every page, and started serving hero images at the right size for the layout you choose. The result is less waiting and lighter pages, especially on mobile.
The favicon (the little icon shown in browser tabs and search results) now appears consistently across browsers. Favicon uploads are limited to PNG files for predictable quality, and on custom domains the favicon is served straight from your own domain for better SEO. The result is a cleaner browser tab and better-looking links wherever your site is shared.
Embedded content was sometimes collapsing into a narrow column on published pages. We fixed the layout issue, and embeds now render at their intended full width.
Sites and pages on Sivu.me can now be discovered and read by AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. We added all the standard signals that AI agents look for, so when someone asks an AI about your site, it can find and quote your content accurately.
This puts your site on the same footing as the major platforms for AI visibility. Nothing to configure on your end.
Avatar images on your published pages now load in the size they're actually displayed at, instead of always fetching a large version. The browser picks the right resolution automatically based on the device.
This means quicker page loads and less data usage, especially noticeable on mobile and on pages with many testimonials.
We fixed a bug where published pages could crash if any link, social, or product item was missing a URL. This was easiest to hit on pages drafted by the AI assistant or after adding products without a purchase link.
Links without a URL now render as clickable placeholders (the legacy behavior), social items without a URL are skipped, and products without a URL show as non-clickable cards.
Custom domains are now resolved through a short-lived cache, which keeps your published site responding quickly even when our database is briefly slow. This also fixes rare crashes that occasionally affected sites using their own domain. Any domain changes you make still take effect immediately.
You can now save a product card without filling in a URL. The button and link only appear if you actually add a URL, and the form no longer rejects empty fields. Simple product showcases are quicker to set up.
When someone shares a link to your published site, the preview image uses your page's cover image if you've set one. If no cover image is set, we automatically generate a preview using your page's theme color and headline. On paid plans, the small Sivu.me watermark is removed automatically. The result is a link preview that looks unmistakably like your brand.
We tightened how images get picked for your pages. Keywords are now more focused and more likely to find a relevant photo, with a fallback chain that avoids broken images. Testimonial sections also draw from a varied pool of portraits, so different people on the same page actually look like different people.
When reordering sections in the page builder, a brief data sync issue used to trigger a full page reload, wiping your scroll position, selected section, and any open editor drafts. The recovery is now seamless: the app silently retries in the background and you keep your place in the editor.
Navigation links in the editor now use native browser links, restoring expected browser shortcuts like cmd-click (or ctrl-click on Windows) and middle-click to open pages in a new tab. The "Start with template" flow has also been streamlined to behave consistently across desktop and mobile.
When you preview a desktop page from the editor, the visit no longer counts in your analytics. This keeps your visitor numbers clean and accurate, showing only real visitors to your published site.
Published pages now include richer signals to help them rank better and appear more attractively in search results:
After editing content, the publish button now appears right away without needing to reload. SEO changes (like page title, description, or image) are also correctly detected so you’ll always see the publish button when you have unpublished changes.
You can now duplicate any page to quickly create similar pages without starting from scratch. Use the three-dot menu in the page list, the "Duplicate" button in page settings, or the "Want to make a copy of an existing page?" link when creating a new page. The title and web address are pre-filled so you can tweak them before saving.
A bug that caused newly published pages to be silently dropped from the navigation menu when saving navigation settings has been fixed. All published pages now stay in your navigation as expected.
All YouTube videos on your pages now use YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode. This means visitors aren’t tracked by cookies unless they actually play the video, giving your viewers better privacy without any change to how videos look or play.
You can now insert horizontal divider lines into your text sections to visually separate content. Use the toolbar in the text editor to add a clean line wherever you need one. Lines are styled to stand out clearly on your published site.
The section previously labeled “Links” has been renamed to “Buttons & Links” so it’s easier to find whether you’re looking to add a button or a link. Each editor section also now includes a short description to help you pick the right one.
A bug that prevented the navigation menu from showing on published pages has been fixed. The hamburger menu now appears correctly whenever navigation is enabled and has at least one item. A related issue where the menu could appear even when navigation was turned off has also been resolved.
QR codes generated by Sivu.me now automatically include tracking details, so you can see QR code visits as a separate source in your analytics tools. This makes it easier to measure how much traffic your QR code is bringing in.
You can now upload your own favicon, the small icon that appears in browser tabs, for sites with a custom domain. Go to site settings to upload your logo or brand icon.
Sivu.me has switched from Google Fonts to Bunny Fonts, a privacy-friendly alternative that doesn’t track visitors. Your site’s visitors now benefit from better privacy protection with no change to how fonts look or load.
Business plan subscribers can now add custom scripts to their site’s head or body sections. This makes it easy to connect third-party analytics, tracking pixels, or other tools without needing a developer. Available in Site Settings for sites with a verified custom domain.
Long profile names on profile-style sites now wrap correctly on small screens instead of spilling outside their container. Text spacing has also been slightly improved for better readability on mobile.
Profile sites with a split desktop layout now feature a subtle gradient fade on the edge of the hero image, creating a smoother visual transition between the photo and text content for a more polished look.
Your profile section now offers four layout options: classic, split, overlay, and card. Each layout presents your photo, name, and bio in a different way, so you can pick the one that suits your style. You can also set a focal point on your cover image to control exactly which part of the photo stays visible at any screen size.
When you publish your site for the first time, you can now edit your website address inline on the success screen.
The phone mockup preview in the page editor now scales proportionally when your browser window is short or the editor panel is small. Previously the phone frame would shrink but the content inside stayed at full size, making the preview look wrong.
You can now set a custom SEO title, description, and social sharing image for each individual page. There is also an option to hide a specific page from search engines entirely. These settings are available on the Pro and Business plans and can be found in your page settings.
Product cards with long descriptions now automatically show a "Show more" button when the text is too long to display at once. Visitors can expand and collapse the description with a single tap, keeping your page looking clean while still showing all the detail you want to include.
When using Sivu.me on an iPhone, tapping a text field used to cause the page to zoom in automatically, making the editor and settings difficult to use. This has been fixed and the screen now stays at the correct zoom level when interacting with any form field.
You can now open a full desktop preview of your page in a new browser tab before publishing it. This lets you see exactly how your page will look to visitors on larger screens. Look for the preview button at the bottom of the editor page.
The save button in the editor and page settings is now disabled until you actually make a change. This makes it immediately clear when there is something new to save and prevents accidental saves when nothing has changed.
When editing text, you can now click on an existing link and change its URL without having to delete and re-create it. The link button in the toolbar also highlights when your cursor is positioned inside a link, making it easy to see which text is linked.
When using a custom domain, both www.yourdomain.com and yourdomain.com now automatically redirect to the same address. Visitors will always land on the right version regardless of how they type your domain.
iPhones save photos in HEIC format, which previously could not be uploaded to sivu.me. These files are now automatically converted and uploaded just like any other image, so you can add photos straight from your iPhone camera roll without any workarounds.
If you use a custom domain, you can now add your Google Search Console or Bing Webmaster Tools verification code directly in site settings. The verification meta tag is automatically added to your site, so you can confirm ownership and start tracking your search performance.
After logging in, you are now automatically redirected to the page you were trying to reach instead of always going to the default home screen. This makes it faster to get back to what you were doing.
You can now track how your website is performing directly in sivu.me. The analytics dashboard shows visitor counts, page views, where your traffic comes from, and which sections visitors scroll to and click on. You can filter data by different time periods.
A bug has been fixed where trying to clear or delete a URL in product, video, or social link sections would fail with a validation error. You can now remove links from these sections without any issues.
When you pick a template and then sign up or log in, your selection is now preserved throughout the entire process. You no longer need to re-select your template after creating your account.
Browse our new template library and pick a design to get started. Each template shows a live preview, and you can create your own page directly from the template.
Login and signup now open in a quick overlay instead of taking you to a separate page. Less navigation, faster access to your account.
