We just started a permalink test that improves upon the second scroll treatment that keeps the previously tested recirc, native templates, and additional ads while ensuring that there is always editorial backfill when there is no sponsored post and when adblock is on.

After doing this,

The homepage currently sets the og:type Open Graph property to blog, but that’s not a valid value, it causes warnings in the Facebook sharing debugger tool:

We had AMP validation warnings because the amp-video extension script was not loaded when the featured media is a GIF, only if the post body contains one:

The “fix-legacy-raw-html.py” has been adjusted to cover more articles and as a result 411 posts have been fixed across all the blogs.

“withShare” = `isDeprecatedReframePermalink` flag which is used to exclude them from AMP. In order to get rid of that exclusion we had to migrate reframes, which are now regular posts w/ insets, to standard format.

If story type description is saved in the story type manager, set that description as the meta description.

For vertical metaTitles we were automatically placing [vertical_name] - before what is set as the title tag. We changed the
( - ) to a pipe ( | ) and included the parent site name after it.

In May of last year we added logic to NOINDEX stream pages with minimal content.

Mobile usability is very poor on sectioned category pages because content seems wider than the screen as a result of a broken swipe to scroll experience. This was caused be code cleanup on category pages and is now fixed.
