Make the two paged tracking reads deterministic
Both paged queries ordered on a column that ties, with no tiebreaker, so the database was free to return tied rows in a different order per page fetch — which s...
Stop three route bundles being prefetched onto the homepage
Lighthouse's 103 KiB of "unused JavaScript" named four chunks, two of them essentially 100% unused. None of them appear in the homepage's HTML — they are other ...
Name the backdrop widths, and read the theme config on the server
Two findings, both of which were doing something other than what the code said. THE BACKDROP WAS FETCHING THE 1920 CANDIDATE. 149 KB, for a decorative picture ...
Build out Tracking Codes in place of the referral placeholder
/marketing/discounts was a ComingSoon stub; it is now /marketing/tracking, a working workspace, with the old path kept as a client redirect so existing bookmark...
Carry the marketing referral into the signup
The marketing site tags a referred visitor with kmrt_vid and kmrt_src on the shared apex, so register.<apex> can read them; handleFinish sends both in the reque...
Honour a partner link and report what it brought
A visitor who follows https://www.<apex>?mrt=<code> gets two first-party cookies from the edge middleware — an opaque GUID that lasts two years and the code its...
Publish signup and org-created for tracked visitors
The register site now forwards the marketing visitor GUID and tracking code in the request body — not a header, because the proxy strips Cookie and the ingress ...
Publish the paid conversion for tracked organizations
Both paths that stamp BillingSourceType.PAID now publish marketing.visitor.paid, because hooking only one silently misses half the traffic — AccountSubscription...
Forward the tracking beacon to MediaService
Clones forwardPublicWebinar rather than the generic forward(): that method prints every URI, header map and body length to stdout with no level, and a visitor b...
Serve the tracking-codes tab and ingest the visitor beacon
MediaService already backs the other marketing tabs, so it takes both halves of tracking codes: the authenticated CRUD and stats surface at /api/media/marketing...
Model tracking codes, their visitors and the visits they bring
A member mints a code, shares **************** and the six totals on the Tracking Codes tab answer what that link actually did: unique visitors, visits, page re...
Provision MARKETING_EVENTS for visitor conversion signals
Marketing tracking codes credit a partner for the signups, organizations and paid accounts their link produced, and those three moments happen in services that ...
Compress the images harder, hold the cards still, drop duplicate requests
Images. Every quality setting on the page goes down a step, and the allow-list in next.config.ts goes to [30, 50] so nothing can quietly ask for more: hero...
Split the hero, and take the last two libraries off the page
Step C. Neither GSAP nor Framer Motion is on the homepage any more, and the `home` message namespace is no longer sent to the browser at all. JS 24...
Seven sections stop hydrating
Step B. TrustBar, WhatReplacesWhat, HowItWorks, UseCases, Features, CTAStrip and Pricing are server components now. They render to HTML and ship no JavaScript. ...
Take the animation runtime off the homepage entirely
Step A of the hydration work. Framer Motion is gone from the homepage's eager bundle: 798,723 -> 687,593 bytes raw, 245,367 -> 209,422 gzip. That is 35,945 fewe...
Make the HLS playlists immutable, and say what that costs
The playlists were the last entry in Lighthouse's cache-lifetime audit — 300s originally, then an hour, still reported. Everything else in the ladder was alread...
Stop rendering eight off-screen sections before the hero can paint
LCP was 4.4 s, and its breakdown said where: 120 ms to first byte, 290 ms of load delay, 390 ms actually downloading the image — and then 1,810 ms of "element r...
Undo the two changes that cost 380ms of blocking time, and quiet the phone
The last two rounds took the score from 87 to 67. Total Blocking Time went from 80 ms to 460 ms and LCP from 3.9 s to 4.4 s. Two of my own changes did that, and...
Shorten the empty-description hint
The Description column shows {No Description} in place of "No description provided..". The string was hardcoded English, so it now comes from the dictionary — w...
Reorder and retitle the document tabs
The strip now reads Originals | Modify (n) | Modified | Binders | Common | Uploads, and Common trades the gear icon for a library one now that it no longer says...
Move the headline sweep onto the compositor, and the chat widget off load
Two things left over from the last round, both flagged rather than done because each trades something. Doing them now. THE HEADLINE'S LIGHT PASS. It was a seco...
Stop opening a note from overwriting it with a blank body
The editor seeded its buffer with `note.content || ''`, then compared that '' against the incoming null and concluded the member had unsaved edits. Two seconds ...
Keep the encryption key across restarts instead of inventing one
Every note body in production was unreadable. NOTES_MASTER_ENCRYPTION_KEY was never set anywhere - not in the deployment, and the deployed ConfigMap carried no ...
Tell an unreadable note apart from an empty one
A note whose body cannot be deciphered came back with content null and nothing else, which is exactly what an empty note looks like on the wire. Clients could n...
Render themed imagery server-side, and keep brand text readable
Every background on the homepage was being downloaded TWICE. The components rendered the local `/img/bg/N.webp`, then an effect resolved the org's theme path on...
Paint the knowledge console in the org's colour, not a fixed purple
The rebuild took its chrome from --accent-knowledge, which globals.css declares as #8b5cf6. That variable does not move with an organization's brand, so every c...
Compress the theme host, which was serving every text asset raw
MinIO returns object bytes exactly as stored — it does not negotiate Content-Encoding — and the two theme IngressRoutes carried `strip-hsts` and `cors` but no c...
Inline the stylesheet, and drop polyfills nothing can reach
Two Lighthouse findings, both of which stayed open after the last round because I had concluded they were not addressable. They were; I had not looked hard enou...
Name the controls that had no name, and lift the text under 4.5:1
Three separate defects, all of them invisible to the build, the type check, the lint run and both existing guards. UNNAMED CONTROLS — the phone layout's naviga...
Stop shipping 1.8 MB of unresized backgrounds after hydration
ThemedBackground was the most expensive thing left on the homepage, and none of it looked like a bug. It rendered a raw <img> straight at the theme bucket, so t...
Stop the fold waiting on hydration, and clear the load window
The homepage shipped its whole fold invisible. Framer Motion serialises an `initial` prop into the prerendered HTML as an inline style, so the markup arrived wi...
Remove the navigation timing probe
It did its job. The question it was added to answer — whether the remaining delay was network, script or paint — turned out to have a fourth answer the probe fo...
Seek the one candidate block instead of scanning back to the table start
/api/send took 1.8-7.9 s for most addresses and single-digit ms for a few, which is not a load problem — it is the shape of the geolite query. getLocation() is ...
Stop the analytics tracker hijacking every link but Home
Every page except the homepage took seconds to open, and the reason was never in this app's own navigation path: the server prerenders, prefetch payloads are co...
Every route change was animating a scroll back to the top
<html> carried Tailwind's `scroll-smooth` and nothing else. Next suppresses smooth scrolling while it scrolls to a new route, but only for pages that declare it...
Move the video controls to the top right
They sat bottom-left only because the frame used to bleed off the right edge of the viewport, which would have put a control anchored there off screen. The reel...
Measure real navigations and cold loads, not just flagged sessions
Five rounds of fixes have each removed a real defect and none has fixed what is actually being felt, because every diagnosis so far has been inference from outs...
Drop the sitewide loading boundary that only secondary pages paid for
Every page except the homepage felt slow, which points straight at the (pages) subtree — and at something I put there. When 4fae924 added (pages)/loading.tsx ev...
Prerender the changelog count, refresh it on publish instead of on visit
Every visitor was fetching this number themselves. PreviewBanner lives in the shared layout, so on every page it hit /api/changelog/today after hydration, waite...
Stop prefetching a megabyte per page, and stop calling the backend for free
Two costs that were paid on every page, both found by following the reporter's own hunch about i18n and needless backend calls. PREFETCH VOLUME — a regression ...
Add an opt-in navigation timing probe behind ?perf=1
Page switches still feel slow on production, and the server has been ruled out from the reporter's own machine: 55-122ms responses, x-nextjs-cache HIT, prefetch...
Rebuild the knowledge base as a console
The four knowledge-base screens were the last in the app still wearing the old look, and three of them stated things that were not true. /kb showed "Pinned Art...
Enforce is_fake, and close the holes that let an unattended signup in
Two halves of one incident. An account registered, verified an address at a disposable provider, took an auto-login session and created five organizations in th...
Serve what the knowledge console reads, and fix what it never could
Four endpoints the rebuilt knowledge base needs, and three facts the API was unable to state. GET /api/kb/pins returned a Page of pin ROWS, and KbArticlePin.ar...
Reject a replayed Capcha payload instead of accepting it forever
`verifySolution` answers "is this a correct solution to a challenge we issued". It says nothing about whether we have already accepted that exact solution, and ...
Add users.is_fake, in the only statement order a populated table allows
Mirrors the new `User.isFake` field. Four statements, and the order is the whole migration: YugabyteDB rejects `ADD COLUMN … NOT NULL` on a populated table — re...
Add is_fake, the flag that makes an account invisible instead of deleted
A synthetic account — a test artifact, a seeded fixture, or a signup judged to be automated — now carries `users.is_fake`, and the platform stops acknowledging ...
Survive a retried image pull, and stop deploying twice per push
The 013faf1 deploy failed on `exceeded its progress deadline` while the rollout itself was fine — the pod came up healthy about 90s in, and prod has been servin...
Stop every page switch waiting on a redirect and a 2s fade-in
The prerendering work in 4fae924 fixed the server and the router, and the site still felt like it took 1-2 seconds to change pages. It was never the network. Tw...
