Changelog
What’s new in Scanfully: the improvements you can see and use in the dashboard, the monitoring, the emails, the Scanfully API and the MCP server.
2.1.0: Plugin updates and health mutes
Section titled “2.1.0: Plugin updates and health mutes”- See which plugins have an update: the plugins page shows the latest version under the installed one, with an Update available filter. The Scanfully API and the MCP server include the latest version too, so you can ask your AI app which plugins need updating.
- Mute a site health issue you have decided to accept. It stops counting as a warning or critical issue until it is fixed or changes, and you can mute the same issue on your other sites in one go. Unmute it from the Muted list on the health page.
- Group the sites overview by status, environment, client, label, WordPress or PHP version, or a WordPress setting.
- Add WordPress version, PHP version, disk usage and SSL certificate columns to the sites overview under Choose columns, and filter on WordPress or PHP version, search engine visibility, debug mode or multisite with Add filter.
- The Sync sites button in the top bar asks the Scanfully plugin on every connected site to send fresh data right away. You can also do this through the Scanfully API.
- Add a billing email address in your billing details, so invoices and payment reminders go to that address.
- Documentation at docs.scanfully.com, linked from the help links in the dashboard and from the support page. This changelog lives there now too.
Improved
Section titled “Improved”- The Activity page loads much faster, especially for sites with a long history.
- When you connect an AI app, Read only access is now selected by default.
- Broken links and media that never answer (a timeout, an unknown host, a refused connection or a certificate error) are now reported, with the status No response, after one retry.
- Crawl settings work as expected: the crawl no longer goes one click deeper than your maximum depth, changes and re-crawls take effect right away instead of up to a week later, unticking a media type works, the broken media crawl uses its own depth and pages, and Stylesheets checks only real stylesheets.
- Email checks no longer report a missing DKIM record because they read your mail provider’s own signature (such as Postmark’s) instead of your domain’s.
- Sites on MariaDB now get their database version checked against MariaDB’s own release cycle.
- Notification emails and digests show dates in your custom date format, the same as the dashboard.
- Signed-in visitors of a shared report now see the report instead of being sent to the site page.
- The client count in the sidebar now includes clients without sites.
2.0.0: Scanfully 2.0
Section titled “2.0.0: Scanfully 2.0”Scanfully 2.0 is our biggest update yet: a completely new dashboard, notifications you set up once for your whole account, and new ways to work with Scanfully from your own tools and AI apps.
A new dashboard
Section titled “A new dashboard”- Every screen is redesigned, from the sites overview to each monitoring page, the sign-in screens and the upgrade page.
- Choose a light or dark theme, or follow your system, under Preferences in your account settings.
- Every monitoring page opens with a headline that tells you the current status and what to do next.
- Insights on the Uptime, Page and Downtime pages point out what stands out, such as a page that got slower than usual.
- Group your sites by client and label, each with its own color, and filter the sites overview by status, environment, client or label.
- Save a filtered sites overview as a view, shown next to All sites.
- Sites show their favicon in the sites overview.
- Press Cmd+K to jump to a site or an account page. Switching sites keeps you on the same screen.
- The certificate page shows when the certificate was last checked.
- Better keyboard and screen reader support everywhere, with a visible focus ring, stronger contrast, readable charts and shapes next to colors for colorblind users.
Notifications 2.0
Section titled “Notifications 2.0”- Set up notifications once for your whole account instead of per site. Each notification picks its sites (all sites, all with exceptions, or hand-picked) and can send to several channels.
- Every account starts with two notifications: “Downtime - immediate” and “Everything else”. New sites are covered automatically. Your existing notifications were converted for you.
- Fewer, smarter alerts: related alerts are grouped, a site that flaps up and down gets a few minutes to settle, and you can set quiet hours. Downtime alerts are never held back.
- A daily digest email with what is still open, the alerts that were sent and an overview of your sites.
- Snooze a site, a category or a single alert, from 1 hour to 1 week or until it recovers, straight from any notification.
- The delivery log shows what was sent, held or snoozed, and why.
- Send a test message to check a channel.
- Trial accounts send email notifications to the account email only. Paid accounts can add up to 25 other addresses, each with a one-click unsubscribe link.
- All emails have a fresh new look.
API and MCP
Section titled “API and MCP”- The Scanfully API lets you read your sites, pages, clients, labels, monitoring data and activity, and start scans, from your own tools. Create API tokens in your account settings.
- The Scanfully MCP server connects AI apps such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code to your account with one click, so you can ask about your sites in plain language.
- See and disconnect your connected apps in your account settings.
- The audit log in the account menu lists the changes made through API tokens and connected apps.
Improved
Section titled “Improved”- The billing page shows your subscription at a glance, and you can download every invoice as a PDF.
- Invoice emails now come from Scanfully Billing.
- Connecting a WordPress site has a clearer, simpler screen.
- When your trial has ended, the dashboard tells you so and points you to the upgrade.
- Fewer false alerts: certificate alerts no longer fire on a single network hiccup, DNS records are no longer reported as removed when DNS servers briefly disagree, and redirects to other websites are no longer scanned as pages of your site.
- Email checks for sites on a subdomain now use the parent domain’s SPF, DKIM, DMARC and MX records.
- Showing older activity no longer skips events.

Section titled “Improved”- New health checks for WordPress security updates and for sites running an older major version of WordPress.
- The WordPress version check knows about security fixes for older WordPress versions, so you are no longer warned when your version is still safe.
- No more false end-of-life warnings for server software kept up to date by your hosting’s operating system.
- Sites you removed no longer send email health notifications.
1.10.5: Fewer DNS alerts

- Email authentication: see the state of SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX, MTA-STS and TLS-RPT for your domain, and get notified when something weakens and when it recovers.
- Uptime that knows about CDNs: when a CDN such as Cloudflare or BunnyCDN keeps serving a cached page while your server is down, Scanfully shows a warning instead of saying all is well.
