new feature improvement bugfix

I’m excited to release the version 2.2.0 - our major update to Jatra in 2025. This release is paced with amazing features, massive SEO improvements and of course, performance improvements.

Let’s go one by one:

Community SEO

SEO has been at the heart of Jatra Community Platform. In this release, we have reworked Jatra’s SEO from ground up.

  1. Jatra is 30% faster. You may not notice, because it’s already so fast

  2. Improved HTML

  3. Better organization of the content and

  4. Shorter breadcrumbs

Automatic Structured Data to “Article” Post-Type

We now automatically inject Google-recommended “structured data” snippet to all your articles.

The markup has been validated through official Schema Markup Validator. We’ll continue to make improvements to structured data and roll it out for other content types in coming weeks.

What does it mean to you?

Over the course of next few weeks, you should see improvement in rankings of your articles. We will keep an eye and we encourage you to share your feedback with us.

H1/H2 Tags Optimization

When it comes to SEO, the TITLE tag is one of the most important parts of your HTML. To take things further, we have now optimised the organization of H1 and H2 tags on your page.

You will notice that the H1 tags are visually larger on show pages. The H2 tags will have smaller font-size.

Better Layout

We have worked on improving the community layout and organization. You will see that the Article, Discussion, Changelog and Feedback post types look much better on both Desktop and Mobile layouts.

Post Views

We now display the “post view count” with each ‘view'/’show’ page. It gives you a quick insight into how popular the post is. Of course, you’ll soon have a bird-eye view of your community through our Analytics.

Performance Optimization

We fixed a few embarrassing queries and optimised for performance. We also fixed a few bugs on the sitemap generation so that your sitemaps are always up to date with latest activity on your community.

…We are Just Getting Started!

These improvements are just the ‘starters’. We already are working on ambitious plans to help you build amazing communities that your audience loves.

Let us know your feedback.

    Like the new layout for articles. Congratulations to everyone for community SEO update. I found Jatra when I searched whether online forums are dead. Jatra is on the first page of Google.
