We’ve been working on some improvements over the past few weeks and sprinkled in a little magic. Here’s what’s new for you:
Your Forest Page Loads Faster
Your forest page now loads noticeably quicker, no matter where your visitors are located. Whether a customer in Munich or a prospect in New York opens your forest link, they’ll see your trees appear faster than before.
We rebuilt the technical foundation of your forest page so it runs closer to your visitors. The result: shorter loading times and a snappier experience for everyone who clicks your forest link.
Smooth Scrolling, Even With Thousands of Trees
If your forest has grown to hundreds or even thousands of trees (congrats!), you may have noticed the page taking a moment to load everything at once. That’s fixed.
Your forest now loads trees as your visitors scroll through it. Instead of waiting for every single tree upfront, the visible part of the forest appears right away. As visitors explore further, more trees load seamlessly in the background. While new trees are loading, gentle placeholder animations keep things looking polished.
The experience is smooth and fast, whether your forest has 50 trees or 5,000.
Make Your Forest Page Yours
Speaking of your forest page: this is a good time to check if you’re using all the display options available to you. You can find them in your forest settings under “Manage Display Settings.” Here’s what you can control:
- Show tree ages: Trees in your forest visually grow over time. New reviews start as small saplings and mature into full-grown trees. This gives your forest a living, evolving feel that visitors notice.
- Add your company logo: Place your logo directly on your forest page for a branded experience.
- Reviewer name display: Choose between showing full reviewer names or just their initials for extra privacy.
- Review text and scores: Decide whether visitors can see the full review text and star rating when they click on a tree.
- Tree certificates: Let your visitors download a certificate for their planted tree. A nice extra for customers who value their personal impact.
If you haven’t explored these settings recently, take a look. A few clicks can make your forest page feel much more like yours.
Behind the Scenes: Building a Better ReviewForest for You
We’ve also improved how we learn about the way people use the ReviewForest app. This doesn’t change anything on your end, but it helps us a lot: we can now spot where things get confusing, see which features are loved, and fix issues before they become problems.
In short: we’re getting better at building what matters to you.
