v4.7.0 - URL & SEO Fixes

Aug 25 2026

Fixed

  • General
    • 64 boat pages were unreachable: boat slugs stored with uppercase letters (e.g. crn-5G-2011) were redirected to a lowercase URL that then 404'd. Slug lookup is now case-insensitive and every link, sitemap entry, canonical and structured-data reference emits the same lowercase form
    • Duplicate titles and descriptions: /boats and /maker reused the site-wide title and description (~70 URLs in one duplicate group); a hull type and a category both named "Catamaran Boats" produced identical titles; facet pages all shipped the same description. All now generate their own
    • Heading structure: empty headings from loading skeletons shipping ahead of the real h1, footer column labels rendered as headings on all 5,776 pages, and skipped heading levels in maker listings are fixed. Maker page h1s are descriptive instead of a bare 9-character name
    • Blog links pointed at a redirecting subdomain: blog cards now link same-origin instead of bouncing through a 301
    • Six carousels all used "explore all" as their link text; /boats now has 62 distinct link labels. Five images were missing alt text
    • The API docs explorer no longer gets indexed
    • Boat card image placeholder now renders properly when a boat has no photo
