OEM compliance scans & site speed improvements.

Your browser does not support the video tag.

Suggestions can now automatically check your site against OEM-specific compliance rules and flag issues before they become problems. Two changes this week improve Core Web Vitals scores on consumer pages. Several fixes cover inventory feed photo imports, mobile trade-in modal behavior, and EV range data accuracy.


OEM compliance scanning in Suggestions

Blog image

Suggestions can now identify OEM compliance issues on your site and surface them directly in the Admin panel. This is available now for Lexus, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz dealers. If your OEM has content or structural requirements, Suggestions checks your pages against those rules and tells you specifically what needs attention. This gives dealers a clear view of compliance gaps without waiting for an OEM audit to find them. Support for additional OEM types will expand as rules are added.

What this includes:

  • Automatic compliance checks for Lexus, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz
  • Specific flags for pages or content that do not meet OEM requirements

Site speed

We are actively working to improve Core Web Vitals scores across all dealer sites. Faster pages rank better in search and keep shoppers engaged through to inventory.

  • Consumer site pages now deliver a leaner data payload to the browser, improving load times across the board.
  • AI chat icons now use the WebP format, a smaller and faster image format that reduces load time on any page where the chat widget appears.

Improvements

  • Page migration now imports CTAs grouped on one row, renders bullet points as lists rather than accordions, and preserves embedded links so migrated pages need fewer manual corrections after import.
  • Incentive display on vehicle detail pages now shows all available offers more clearly so shoppers can see applicable savings on the page.
  • Dealers can now link directly to the payment calculator on any vehicle page by adding ?open=estimate to the URL, so shoppers who arrive from campaigns or emails land straight in the financing tool.
  • Suggestions in Admin loads faster so dealers spend less time waiting before acting on recommendations.
  • Admin loads only the brands your dealership carries, reducing load time in brand-related settings.
  • Admin responds faster across multiple views with backend performance improvements applied throughout.

Fixes

  • The page editor in Admin now reflects AI component changes live, so dealers can see exactly what was updated without refreshing the page.
  • INVENtrue inventory feeds now bring in the full set of vehicle photos available in the feed, so dealer sites display complete image galleries.
  • Vehicle descriptions now support ** separators and line breaks from inventory feed data, rendering as properly structured feature lists on consumer pages.
  • Mobile shoppers can now exit the trade-in modal at any point, including when a vehicle has insufficient transaction data.
  • Shoppers browsing electric vehicles now see precise range figures drawn from DataOne's primary EV range source.
  • Group site contact forms with a location selector now route to the right destination based on each child dealer's lead address, with no group-level configuration required.
  • Inventory XML exports now include YouTube video links, so platforms receiving the feed get complete vehicle media data.
