The Organic pages by type widget in Site Explorer now breaks down traffic by page type—blog posts, tools, landing pages, etc.—so users can quickly see what drives a competitor’s visits. Semantic filters in Keywords Explorer let users match keywords by meaning, cutting manual filtering when researching brands with common words. Bot Analytics now connects directly to Vercel, Amazon CloudFront, and Fastly, simplifying log‑data setup. Finally, API and MCP unit limits have been doubled across all plans to remove bottlenecks for users pulling Ahrefs data into AI assistants and automated workflows.
