Changelog
Every dated change to the tools, the data index and the site.
This log is the only place "last updated" dates on this site come from. If a tool page shows a date, there is an entry below that produced it. Nothing on this site stamps itself with today's date just because you loaded it.
Rebuilt around the YouTube Trending Tags Index
The site is now built around one thing it owns: a daily index of the tags, hashtags and title patterns behind the videos trending on YouTube in eight countries. Everything else was either rebuilt on top of that index or taken out of the way.
What was added - The YouTube Trending Tags Index at /trending-tags, with a page per country for India, the United States, Pakistan, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Brazil, Egypt and Nigeria. Each one carries the top 100 tags, the top 50 hashtags, measured title patterns, the channels appearing most often, a CSV download and the exact timestamp of the fetch it is showing. - A daily job that pulls up to 200 trending videos per country from the YouTube Data API and rebuilds the index. It runs at 03:00 UTC and costs about 32 quota units a day. - A new tool at /youtube-tag-gap: paste your channel and a competitor's, and see every tag they use on their 50 most recent uploads that you do not, ranked by the views behind it. - A free JSON API at /api with five endpoints, no key and no sign-up. - A methodology page at /methodology that spells out where every number comes from and what these tools cannot do. - This changelog. Any "last changed" date shown anywhere on the site is now read from it.
What was rebuilt - All eleven kept YouTube tools now read live data through the YouTube Data API v3, accept every URL form including Shorts links and @handles, and cache each lookup for 24 hours. - The tag, hashtag and title generators now show evidence next to every suggestion: how many videos trending in your country this week use it, and what those videos average in views. Suggestions with no evidence are labelled untested rather than mixed in. - The title generator gained a Title Score that benchmarks a title against the titles actually trending in the country you pick, with the measured share behind every factor. - The extractors accept up to 20 URLs at a time with a CSV export, with no login. A per-IP hourly limit replaced the login wall. - Every kept tool page lost its generic 14-heading essay and gained specific copy: what the tool does, how to use it, what it cannot do, real questions, and a worked example rendered from the live index. - The Find Facebook ID tool now resolves pages and groups through Facebook's public page plugin, and says plainly when Facebook's login wall blocks a personal profile instead of returning a wrong number.
What was fixed - /about-us returned 404 while the footer linked to it. It now exists, names the publisher (Thinkly for Digital Business, Egypt), gives a real contact address and states an editorial policy. - The contact page shows the publisher and contact address above the form. - The homepage had the meta description "Seo Studio Tools". It now has a real one, a real title, and Organization structured data. - 202 template pages that were identical to every other install of this script were set to noindex and dropped from the sitemap. They all still work and are all still linked from the homepage. - The /ar mirror is noindex and out of the sitemap. hreflang tags were removed everywhere, because there was no complete alternate set to declare. - The sitemap now lists 29 URLs instead of every page in both languages, and every lastmod comes from a real change rather than the time of the request. - The blog link was removed from the navigation and footer; there is one English post and it is still reachable. - Kept pages defer their JavaScript and load web fonts without blocking the first paint.
Housekeeping - Contrast, tap-target and heading-order problems in the shared header, footer and result tables were fixed, so the rebuilt pages now score 100 on Lighthouse accessibility and best practices. - The hero image was 275 KB and loaded lazily even though it is the first thing you see. It is now served as WebP or JPEG at the size your screen needs, and loaded first. - Stylesheet and script URLs now carry a version stamp, so an edit is visible immediately instead of waiting for the CDN cache to expire. - The server was willing to serve dotfiles, .bak files, SQL dumps and log files to anyone who guessed the name. It is not any more.
