To Help With SEO
When it comes to SEO a great position is built on a mountain of small improvements - and here's a few more that are worth working on!- You can now set Canonical tags to deal with the problem of duplicate content
- There's a new option to quickly set the original photo filename as the Image Name
- noopener and noreferrer attributes are now added to any target="_blank" links
Self-Hosted Google Fonts
We've reacted quickly to the latest legal developments in Europe, which cast doubt on whether calling Google to display Google Fonts complies with GDPR.
No-one wants to give up their Google Fonts, so Web Designer will now automatically publish the fonts to your own web space and no longer reference Google, offering instant compliance. You don't need to do anything other than re-publish your website.
What's more, with the great font support in modern browsers the balance of advantage has been moving in favor of self hosting, so you could also benefit from speed improvements for your web page, with all the SEO benefits that brings. Double win!
