CryptoWave Update — New Features & What I've Been Building
Quick update on what I shipped over the past few weeks.
---
What is CryptoWave?
Free browser-based developer tools — encryption, hashing,
audio/video conversion, PDF tools, and more. Everything runs
100% client-side. No accounts, no uploads, no servers.
---
## What's new
6 color themes
Added Ocean, Ocean Light, Forest, and Forest Light on top of
the existing Light and Dark. Small thing but users seem to
notice and appreciate it.
Image to WebP Converter
New tool for batch-converting JPG/PNG images to WebP.
Added it after noticing "jpg to webp" was one of the
search terms bringing people in.
Recently Used Tools
Homepage now shows the last 6 tools you visited.
Speeds up repeat usage without needing accounts or cookies.
Back to Top button
Small QoL improvement — shows up after scrolling,
matches the current theme color.

## What I learned
The SEO from FAQ sections (structured data + FAQPage schema)
is starting to show up in Search Console impressions.
Takes time but it's working.
Still figuring out the right content/SEO strategy.
Open to any advice from people who've grown tool sites.

What features would you find most useful in a tools site like this?
Worth checking whether those tool pages are real paths or hash-routed sections of one SPA — search crawlers and social card scrapers don't execute client-side hash routing, so if it's the latter, the FAQ schema on individual "pages" never actually gets seen as separate documents no matter how well-structured it is.
Great update. The FAQ schema approach is solid — I'm doing something similar with my SaaS (real estate tax calculations for Spain) and it takes time but Search Console impressions do pick up gradually. For tool sites specifically, I'd focus on individual tool pages with their own meta and schema rather than just the homepage. That's where the long-tail traffic comes from.
Thanks for the solid advice! I really appreciate you sharing your experience with the FAQ schema and SaaS SEO in Spain.
I’m currently working on individual tool pages for CryptoWave to better capture that long-tail traffic, just as you suggested. I'll keep refining the site and the schema markup based on your feedback.
Thanks again for the help!
Looks awesome! I’d love a batch PDF compressor or a quick text encoder/decoder tool. Love how lightweight and client-side it is!
