There’s not much we can say about 2020 that hasn’t already been said.
In a year of so many inconsistencies, one thing that has remained consistent is this: our fast-paced development cycle and our fidelity to our roadmap.

With a variety of metrics to track for SEO reporting and analysis, some businesses require custom views to gather the detail that’s most important to them.
The brand new Custom Metrics functionality allows clients to define exactly what they need to track based on any data point from their analytics integration.

Our crawler received an impressive update to the way we crawl and store canonical and hreflang URLs.
Within Site Health Details, users can see all issues found for each URL including On Page and Off Page Issues. There is also an additional download option in Site Health details for all URL + issue combinations.
Here to show you how it works specifically with Canonical and Hreflang Audits is Suraj Lalchandani:
We also introduced the ability to filter URLs triggered for each issue (including Off Page Issues) from Clarity Audit Reports and show the affected URLs in Site Health. This is a major improvement from our earlier capabilities where we could show the count of URLs triggered for the off-page Issues BUT did not allow for filtering of the same.
