TruePx Changelog Add to Chrome

Changelog

What changed in each version of TruePx. Chrome updates the extension by itself; check your version in TruePx’s settings, top right.

2.1.1 #

Contrast results you can trust on real sites, two deeper Audit checks, and a language-version check. (2.1.1 replaced 2.1.0 before it reached users.)

Contrast

  • Text contrast is now measured with axe-core, the engine behind Lighthouse, in the Audit, the Element tab and for AI agents. It sees the real background through layers, pseudo-elements, transparency and shadows, and treats text as large at 24 px, or 18.5 px bold, as WCAG does.
  • Text on a photo, gradient or overlay is measured from the pixels painted behind it.
  • Text over something that keeps changing (a video, a slideshow, an animation) is listed to check by eye, with the reason, instead of getting a verdict from one moment. So is text covered by a banner, or on a carousel slide that isn’t showing.

Audit

  • Check the whole page: scrolls through the page a screen at a time, so scroll animations and lazy images are checked as a visitor sees them.
  • Measure the real page load: reloads the page with an empty cache and records its status, security headers, and every file’s size and errors.
  • Focus rings are read from the CSS cascade; hidden-but-focusable controls are confirmed twice before they’re reported; tap targets use WCAG’s 24 px minimum.
  • Images are measured by their own pixels (aware of srcset) for “far more pixels”, “blurry” and “stretched”; images nobody can see are skipped.
  • Outside services are named from third-party-web, the dataset Lighthouse uses. Render-blocking stylesheets from hosted platforms (Webflow, Wix, Squarespace…) get advice that fits them.
  • The typo check reads every block of visible text and says how much of the page it checked.
  • Page-wide checks look at up to 20,000 elements, and the Audit says when a check on a larger page stopped early.
  • Design consistency counts only what the site shows: hidden elements and cookie-consent dialogs are left out.

SEO tab

  • Check each version links back: loads every language version and checks it points back, as Google requires.
  • Tags that should appear once but have different values (title, description, canonical, og: and twitter: tags) are flagged.
  • Structured data: HTML codes inside values, and names that don’t match the page, are flagged.
  • Decorative images (alt="") are listed for review instead of an all-clear. Problems inside hidden menus are reported separately, and findings inside a cookie-consent dialog are labelled as the vendor’s code.

Fixes

  • Running the Audit no longer leaves some images on the page collapsed until you reload.
  • Cloudflare’s background checks on a normal page are no longer mistaken for a bot-check page.
  • Video that streams in pieces is no longer reported as failed files.
  • Image links are named by their image’s alt text; long file names and addresses are shortened in lists.

AI agents: requires the truepx-mcp bridge 0.1.3.

2.0.0 #

The Audit tab: one list of what’s wrong with the page, worst first.

  • Five categories: Accessibility, Launch & privacy, Performance, Content, and Design & layout, with Fix these first at the top.
  • Launch & privacy checks: missing security headers, server version leaks, insecure files and forms, secret keys in the page’s scripts, tracking that runs before consent, and missing privacy, terms and favicon.
  • Performance measured on your visit: main content (LCP), layout shift (CLS), server reply, slowest click (INP), page size and outside services, and image checks.
  • A built-in typo check on every audit, and a grammar check with LanguageTool when you ask for it.
  • Google’s PageSpeed test on request, with your own API key when the shared limit runs out.
  • Tab order: numbers every stop the Tab key visits, right on the page.
  • Each issue opens to its elements and how to fix it, with Copy for AI and Ignore on this site. Reports download as Markdown, PDF or CSV, and a re-run shows what changed since the last check.
  • Pause inspection moved next to the Inspect/Edit switch, and P toggles it.
  • Asset tiles can switch to a dark background so white logos show.
  • Find by selector tints its matches instead of covering them, so their text stays readable.
  • AI agents get audit_run, the 61st tool.

1.0.1 #

  • Links and buttons on the page work again after you turn TruePx off. Before, they stayed unclickable until you reloaded the page.

1.0.0 #

The first release on the Chrome Web Store.

  • Measure by hovering, distances between elements, rulers, a column grid, breakpoint lines and X-Ray.
  • The Inspector card, find by selector, color picker and element screenshots.
  • The side panel with the Element, Page and SEO tabs, including the broken-link check.
  • Edit mode: CSS rules, text and HTML on the live page, with a Changes diff and Undo.
  • Responsive preview with several viewports side by side.
  • Color vision simulation, design mockup overlay and pins.
  • AI agents through the truepx-mcp bridge, with 60 tools.
