An honest update on Pruvious v4: it's not abandoned, and it's further along than some might think. Most of the core is already there, but what remains is the long tail of polish, cleanup, and smaller pieces needed before release. The progress is real, even if the timeline still isn't something I can promise yet.

Since version 3.11.3, Pruvious comes with a built-in page caching feature to improve the time to first byte (TTFB). The HTML of every public page gets cached in the local .cache directory after the initial visit. Subsequent visits will attempt to retrieve the cached version before initiating the Nuxt server-side rendering (SSR) process.

After launching the pruvious.com website, I sought to understand its visitor count and traffic sources. Rather than using tools like Google Analytics, I opted to develop a simple parser for the nginx access logs on the server. This parser displays page impressions and visitors, along with their country, city, and operating system, directly in the Pruvious dashboard.
