New updates and improvements at Heyboss. Stay up-to-date with the latest features, improvements, and fixes.

  1. New hosting infrastructure

    We've supercharged our hosting! You'll now experience blazing fast loading speeds and rock-solid reliability for all HeybossAI websites. The biggest win? We're making custom domains even better.

    What's New & Improved

    Instant SSL for Custom Domains

    We've integrated Cloudflare for SaaS to revolutionize how custom domains work. Now, when you connect your custom domain:

    • Automatic SSL Certificates: Get a secure HTTPS connection automatically.
    • Lightning-Fast Activation: SSL certificates are live in just 3-5 minutes, not hours!
    • Enhanced Security: Your site benefits from the latest encryption and security protocols.
    • Better SEO: Branded domains with HTTPS help boost your search rankings.

    Easier Custom Domain Setup

    Connecting your domain is now simpler than ever.

    • CNAME Record: Just add one simple CNAME record to point your domain to service.heyboss.tech. No more complicated A records!
    • Global Performance: Cloudflare's global network delivers your website faster to visitors worldwide.

    Action Required for Existing Custom Domain Users

    If you currently use a custom domain, please update your DNS settings to take advantage of these improvements.

    You previously used an A record:

    • yourbussiness.com -> A Record -> 54.86.223.182

    Switch to a CNAME record:

    • yourbussiness.com -> CNAME Record -> service.heyboss.tech

    Making this small change will give you faster SSL generation, better global performance, and enhanced security.

  7. We've improved the SSL certificate renewal process to ensure your website maintains proper security certificates without interruption.

    The previous system sometimes had timing issues between certificate generation and deployment, which could cause temporary security warnings. We've added additional monitoring and improved the renewal workflow to prevent these issues.

    SSL certificates are renewed automatically every 3 months, but we've also increased monitoring frequency to daily checks to catch and resolve any issues more quickly. This ensures your website consistently shows as secure to visitors, which is important for customer trust and search engine rankings.

  8. We've launched the first version of an admin dashboard that lets you manage your website's database and content directly.

    Current features include:

    • Enable/disable database functionality for your website
    • Add, edit, or remove database columns through the admin panel
    • Create, update, and delete customer records
    • Search through stored data using keywords

    This dashboard is designed for businesses that need to manage customer information, orders, bookings, or other data directly without requiring technical knowledge. You can access these features through both the admin panel and by requesting changes through our AI coding system.

  9. We've added the ability for admin users to manually trigger website rebuilds and publishing when necessary.

    This feature is primarily used when our team helps optimize existing projects or when significant changes require a complete rebuild. It ensures that updates are applied correctly and that your website reflects all recent changes.

    This improvement helps maintain website reliability, especially when integrating new features or making substantial updates to existing sites. The process handles rebuilding while preserving your existing content and customizations.

  10. We've improved how websites handle customer data, including contact forms, user profiles, and waitlists.

    The updates include better error handling during data processing and improved migration procedures when making database changes. This reduces the likelihood of lost form submissions or data conflicts during updates.

    We've also added safeguards for handling null values and improved the Supabase client integration to make data operations more reliable. These changes are particularly important for businesses that collect customer information or process online transactions.

  11. custom domain in dashboard

    We've dramatically improved loading speeds for websites using custom domains (like my-awesome-business.com).

    The main improvement involves optimizing CSS files and animation configurations. We reduced the CSS file size by 99.5% (from 12.8MB to 74KB) and loading times from 50 seconds to 2 seconds.

    This change particularly benefits businesses using custom domains, as faster loading improves user experience and search engine rankings. The optimization focuses on commonly used design elements while maintaining all visual functionality.

    For existing websites, you may need one rebuild to apply these optimizations fully.

  12. We have moved database migration processes to a more stable system to prevent data duplication and update conflicts.

    Previously, database updates during the coding phase could sometimes cause inconsistent data or failed updates. We have now integrated these processes into our build system, which runs more predictably and tracks each update properly.

    This improvement reduces the chance of data-related issues when your website processes customer information, contact forms, or other business data. Updates now complete more reliably without affecting your site's performance.
