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.
