SeoTools v6: Faster, more stable and no ads!
TL;DR
We've been working on SeoTools 6.0 for quite a while and there's a lot of new updates. This is probably the largest update we've ever released!
Dowload the latest version of SeoTools!
Async and Caching
MAJOR UPDATE: Most functions incl. Connectors are now asynchronous meaning that they can be stopped and can run in parallell (if the external data source permits it) and won't make it seem like Excel freezes. This translates into a HUGE boost in user experience because of multi-tasking capabilities and significantly faster calculations!
For this we also built a new cache. So hopefully no more OutOfMemoryExceptions when working with loads of data. The cache offloads onto disc and is deleted when you close Excel.
Loads of new Connectors
I have a new partner named Victor Sandberg (@diskborste in the Community) that's going to be focusing on building Connectors, and he's already been busy working with this release:
New Connectors:
Updated connectors:
- YouTube - Channel Statistics!
- Sistrix
- Searchmetrics
- Facebook (rebuilt with a new API as the previous was discontinued)
- SEMrush
- Fixed issues with GoogleResults, GoogleIndex and GoogleLinks connectors when result was empty (returned 16 instead of #NULL!).
- Fixed issue with Microsoft Translate.
- Had to retire connector "DeliciousShares" as data is not longer available.
New Functions
WhoIs Settings
We have created loads of TLD WhoIs settings.
We now parse the following TLDs: ac, ae, ag, am, as, at, au, be, bg, biz, br, by, ca, cc, ch, cl, cn, co, com, coop, cr, cx, cz, de, dk, ee, fi, fm, fr, gov, hk, hr, hu, id, ie, il, in, info, ir, is, it, jp, kr, kz, li, lt, lu, lv, ma, mk, mn, mo, ms, mx, na, name, net, nl, no, nu, nz, org, pe, pl, pt, pw, ro, ru, sa, se, sg, si, sk, st, tc, th, tk, tn,to, tr, tv, tw, ua, uk, us, uy, uz, ve, ws.
Cookbook
We've gotten some feedback that we should provide more templates and examples on how to use SeoTools. To start this, we've moved the cookbook folder to Github. Please submit your templates! The best ones will be featured in a special gallery section on the SeoTools webpage.
Pro
WhoIs and HTTP functions now require a Pro subscription. In return I've removed the much disliked startup window. Please support us by purchasing a subscription.
