Client Changelog

Smarter Content Updates — When you update a product or collection in Shopify, LayerKick now refreshes only the pages that actually show that item — faster propagation and no unnecessary cache clears across your site.

Tailored Dashboard — The dashboard now adapts to your account stage, showing relevant tools and metrics whether you’re onboarding, running an A/B test, or fully active.

Webhook Transparency — The Activity feed now groups related events together and shows which pages were affected by each Shopify update, so you can confirm changes landed where expected.


Instant Rollbacks — If an issue is detected after a release, we can revert to the previous version in seconds — no rebuild or downtime required.

Automatic Shopify Failover — If LayerKick ever encounters an unexpected error, your customers are automatically served from your Shopify store instead. No broken pages, no interruptions.

Multi-Theme Management — You can now manage multiple themes per store from the dashboard, making it easy to preview and switch between design versions.


Automated Performance Reports — LayerKick now runs performance audits on your pages automatically, comparing your site speed against Shopify and showing which third-party apps are slowing things down.

Consistent 404 Pages — Pages not yet migrated to LayerKick now show your theme’s proper 404 page instead of a generic error, so the experience stays consistent for shoppers.


Dashboard Login — The dashboard is now secured with SSO and email-based sign-in to keep your store data private.

On-Page Debug Toolbar — A new toolbar can be activated on your site to verify that content updates are live and inspect caching behavior — helpful when confirming changes after editing in Shopify.

Dashboard Dark Mode — The dashboard now follows your system preference for light or dark mode.


Localized Pricing — International visitors now see prices in their local currency automatically, with no added page load time.

Live Deploy Monitoring — You can now watch deploy progress in real-time from the dashboard, with full history and status tracking.

Cache Diagnostics — New tools to help troubleshoot when content updates aren’t appearing as expected.


Faster Page Navigation — Pages your customers are likely to visit next are now pre-loaded in the background, making browsing feel nearly instant.

Improved Product Page Rendering — Fixed issues where product images could display at incorrect sizes, missing alt text wasn’t falling back to the product name, and some custom content fields were showing raw data instead of formatted content.


Faster Deploys — Site updates now go live significantly faster. LayerKick caches previously built components and only rebuilds what changed, so deploys that used to take minutes now complete in seconds.


Safe, Gradual Migration — New page types can now be enabled one at a time. Everything not yet migrated continues to serve from Shopify, so there’s zero risk during rollout.

Blog Article Pages — Blog articles now render through LayerKick, matching your Shopify theme exactly.

Collection Pages — Collection pages with product grids are now supported.


Instant Content Updates — When you update a product, collection, or page in Shopify, your site now reflects the change within seconds — no manual action needed.

A/B Testing — You can now run side-by-side tests between your Shopify and LayerKick pages, with automatic tracking of conversion rates and revenue to measure the real impact.


Faster Image Loading — Product images above the fold now load immediately with correct sizing, reducing visual jumpiness and improving your Google page speed scores.


Faster Pages for Shoppers — Pages are now served from LayerKick’s global network closest to your customers, cutting load times significantly for first-time and returning visitors.

Smarter Caching — Each section of your page (header, product grid, footer, etc.) is cached independently. When you update one thing, only that piece refreshes — everything else loads instantly.

Smaller Pages — Pages are now up to 40% lighter by removing redundant styling data, which means faster loads especially on mobile.


Pixel-Perfect Verification — Every section of your site is now automatically compared against your live Shopify store before going live, ensuring your customers see exactly the same design.

Header Fixes — Cart drawer, navigation menus, login button, and search now match your Shopify theme exactly.


Full Site Rendering — Every page type on your store now renders through LayerKick with full accuracy — homepage, collections, products, blog, articles, search, and 404. This milestone means your entire site can be served through LayerKick.


Improved Reliability — Added protection against duplicate requests hitting the platform simultaneously and fixed an issue where an empty page could get cached incorrectly. Your customers always get the right content, even under heavy traffic.


Security Hardening — Strengthened authentication and request handling across the platform. Your store data and customer sessions are better protected.


Third-Party App Support — Shopify apps you’ve installed (reviews, trust badges, upsells, etc.) now work correctly on LayerKick pages. Your page loads first, then apps activate afterward — making pages faster than on Shopify where app scripts can delay the initial load.


Cart Works on First Load — Previously, the cart drawer and item count could take a moment to appear after the page loaded. Now cart data is ready the instant the page arrives, so your customers see their cart immediately.

Interactive Elements — Variant pickers, quantity selectors, and other interactive elements embedded in your theme now work correctly on LayerKick pages.


Product Pages — Product detail pages now render through LayerKick with full support for variant selection, quantity, buy buttons, and media galleries.


Homepage Rendering — Your store’s homepage now renders through LayerKick, including all sections, blocks, and theme settings. This is the foundation for adding every other page type.
