Welcome to release notes!

New Search Results Page

Our new Search Results Page (SRP) is now live for most clients. The goal - be much faster for mobile and desktop users.

Depending on the inventory sources the legacy SRP could take up to 30 seconds to load. The new SRP will show interactive property listings in as little as 3 seconds. Some instancs are still longer than our goal of less than 4s and we continue to optimize where we can, look for more updates in the near future.

We load and show the first 20 properties as fast as possible, then continue loading the remaining properties asynchronously, meaning as soon as the user goes to the next page there is no delay.

Primary Highlights

• Faster page load
• Multiple map bug issues were resolved, primarily around map pins and zoom
• Improved mobile experience, including swipeable property images and clear call-to-action
• A new setting allows you to show or hide sold-out properties by default
• A new setting allows you to show all properties on a single results page (not recommended for more than 50 properties)

Improved Value Add Experience

Value Adds have also gotten improvements

1. We’ve consolidated multiple value adds into a single, smaller footprint by utilizing a drop-down option.
2. If only a single value add is offered there is no need to select, it automatically applies.
3. The user can now re-open the value-add prompt after dismissing it on the SRP.

Other Notes

• Refer to the highlighted section from our now retired SRP. We've cleaned up each listing by doing the following:

1. We only show amenities that exist, so the opaque options have been removed. These are also represented in the filters on the page.
2. Inside Scoop and Room Rates have been removed. These two elements saw less than 2% engagement across the platform, with no single client site having considerably more. Further, Room Rates is an expensive API call in terms of performance since it's looking up rates for every room on the listing page, regardless if it was clicked. Removing it has helped speed up the page considerably.
