Website themes and smarter analytics
A quick look at what we shipped this week.
This week we made websites easier to start, added a new way to see where your readers come from, and built analytics into every site — plus a batch of improvements and fixes.
Start your website from a theme
Building a website just got easier. Pick from a gallery of ready-made designs and the agent builds your site from there. Four new looks to choose from: Astro Aria, AstroPaper, Meridian, and Ghost Source.
See where AI is sending you readers
There's a new Search & AI tab in your analytics. It shows visits coming from search engines like Google and Bing, and from AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude — plus which AI bots are crawling your site.
Analytics built into every website
Custom websites now automatically track page views, post views, and read time. Nothing to set up.
Improvements
Subscribers page: search and filter your full subscriber list in one place.
Custom domains: add, verify, and manage a custom domain right from your website settings.
Support tab: message us and follow replies without leaving Paragraph.
Faster page loads across the dashboard, so moving between pages no longer flashes a loading screen.
Smoother, tidier notifications.
Bugfixes
Fixed a subscriber list that could get stuck repeating the same page.
Fixed a rare crash when using a browser's page-translation feature.
Fixed an error that could appear when prepping a long post for publishing from chat.
Fixed adding a custom domain that was already partly set up.
