Sivu.me Updates

sivu.me
improved

Add products without a link

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.

new

Branded social-share previews for your site

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.

improved

Better AI-picked images on your pages

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.

improved

Custom domains stay fast even under load

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.

fixed

Smoother Recovery When Reordering Sections

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.

improved

cmd-click and Middle-click Now Work in Navigation

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.

improved

Major SEO Improvements for Your Published Pages

Published pages now include richer signals to help them rank better and appear more attractively in search results:

  • Structured data for your website, organization, and individual pages
  • Publication and last-updated dates included in page metadata
  • Last-Modified header for smarter caching and freshness signals
  • Sitemap now includes the true last-modified date of each page
  • Fixed a hidden duplicate heading that could confuse search engines
improved

Previews No Longer Affect Your Analytics

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.

fixed

Publish Button Appears Instantly After Changes

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.

new

Duplicate Pages with One Click

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.

fixed

New Pages No Longer Disappear from Navigation

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.

improved

YouTube Videos Now Embedded with Better Privacy

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.

new

Add Horizontal Lines to Your Text

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.

improved

Section Now Called “Buttons & Links”

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.

fixed

Navigation Menu Now Appears on Published Pages

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.

improved

QR Codes Now Track Visits Separately

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.

new

Custom Favicon for Your Custom Domain

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.

new

Add Custom Scripts to Your Site

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.

improved

Smoother Hero Image Transitions on Desktop

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.

improved

Fonts Now Served with Better Privacy

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.

fixed

Profile Name No Longer Overflows on Mobile

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.

new

Choose How Your Profile Hero Section Looks

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.

improved

Edit Your Site Address Right After Publishing

When you publish your site for the first time, you can now edit your website address inline on the success screen.

new

Set Custom SEO Settings for Every Page

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.

improved

Long Product Descriptions Now Collapse Neatly

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.

fixed

Phone Preview Now Scales Correctly in the Editor

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.

fixed

Tapping Forms on iPhone No Longer Zooms the Screen

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.

new

Preview Your Page on Desktop Before Publishing

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.

improved

Save Button Now Shows When You Have Unsaved Changes

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.

improved

Both www and Non-www Addresses Work on Your Domain

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.

improved

Edit Existing Links Directly in the Text Editor

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.

improved

iPhone Photos Now Upload Without Any Extra Steps

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.

improved

Verify Your Custom Domain Site for Google and Bing

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.

improved

Logging In Now Takes You Back to Where You Were

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.

new

Your Website Now Has a Built-In Analytics Dashboard

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.

fixed

Deleting Links and URLs in Sections Now Works Correctly

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.

improved

Your Template Choice Is Now Remembered During Signup

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.

improved

Signing In and Up Is Now Smoother

Login and signup now open in a quick overlay instead of taking you to a separate page. Less navigation, faster access to your account.

new

Start Your Website with a Ready-Made Template

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.
