Updates

A public record of product maintenance.

FreeToolsBox is maintained as a focused developer-tool product. This page records meaningful quality, content, and safety improvements.

PWA offline and Chinese premium workflows

Added an installable offline shell with explicit sensitive-data cache boundaries, expanded Chinese guides and workflows, strengthened real-experience checks, and kept the focused tool, sitemap, noindex, and inventory rules intact.

Workflow authority and candidate promotion

Added API debugging, token inspection, and content cleanup workflow pages, promoted CSS Formatter and UUID Generator into the focused core surface, and connected guides to related workflows while keeping non-core inventory governed.

Workspace, accessibility, and performance budget

Added a dedicated browser-local workspace, safe local presets, an advertising policy, stronger accessibility checks, and stricter performance budget audits without expanding the noindex inventory surface.

Candidate tool promotion

Promoted Text Diff and Markdown Preview from noindex inventory into the focused core surface after adding stronger workflows, related concept guides, quality profiles, and sitemap-safe promotion checks.

Non-core inventory governance

Mapped legacy non-core tools into noindex workbench hubs, Labs, upgrade candidates, and hidden inventory rules so weak one-off pages do not dilute the focused tool directory or sitemap surface.

Quality intelligence and Web Vitals

Added a privacy-safe quality intelligence layer for Core Web Vitals, client error capture, route health signals, live deployment checks, security.txt, and monthly quality reporting without collecting tool input or output.

Content moat and trust governance

Expanded the guide library to twelve focused English concept pages, added Chinese core guides, introduced security and editorial-policy pages, and added indexing, sitemap, noindex, content-depth, and trust-page audits.

Advanced tool UX and local workspace

Added copyable JSON tree paths, JWT claim signals, regex replacement preview, local file checksum drop zone, URL double-encoding diagnostics, password presets, and a browser-local workspace for favorites and recently used tools.

Functional differentiation system

Added richer core-tool workflows: JSON structure preview, JWT verification checklist, regex highlight preview, hash digest compare, URL encoding mode comparison, and password passphrase mode.

Premium product system

Unified the public brand, upgraded trust pages, refreshed the Chinese entry, added update history, and strengthened accessibility and mobile performance fallbacks.

Guides and data-handling matrix

Added concept guides for Base64, JWT, URL encoding, and hashing, then connected them to the focused tool pages and data-handling documentation.

Focused core tool surface

Kept the main directory centered on a small promoted set of mature developer tools while experimental utilities remain noindex, ad-free, and outside the main sitemap surface.

Security and privacy guidance

Improved warnings around production tokens, private keys, sensitive records, Base64, JWT verification, hashes, and generated passwords.
