Now that the latest versions of Safari, Chrome, Edge, and Firefox all have compatibility with the .webp image format, it would be really good to have automatic image resizing for that format so that we can remove the "Serve images in next-gen formats" warning on PageSpeed Insights.

Hi, we have a similar request for almost every CMS project: Tag/categorize pages and add tag/category filters to the frontend, so that a user may select tags/categories and gets a list view of pages that match his choice. Tags would also be useful to display related pages based on tag/category. Categories with tree structures would even be better, because you could create categories based on totally different attributions, e.g. product categories, different topic categories, business/market segments for filtering content and much more. The only way that I know how to achieve this is to create the tags in HubDB and create an additional table that contains the page URL and the associated tags. We'd then create filter and list views for the frontend by queying the HubDB via Javascript/node.js. But for the editor, this means, he/she has to edit this HubDB for every page that he/she wants to tag. It would be way easier if categories/tags would be a native feature of the CMS, so that the user may edit the categories from within the page editor (see example screenshot illustration).

Page speed is an important Google ranking factor now and HubSpot pages are slow. Lazy Loading would be a big help and should be fairly easy for dev team to add as a core feature as the community has laid out exactly how to do this here: https://community.hubspot.com/t5/CMS-Development/how-to-implement-lazy-loading-in-hubspot-pages-not-blog/td-p/198218

It'd really allow many developing options if there was a possibility to turn any custom module into a smart content module. Currently it's only possible for Rich Text, which is very limited. For example, I have made a custom video play button into a custom module, but based on the visitor I'd like to play a different video. Now it is not possible with custom modules, unless I code with HubL some fixed rules into it, and I have to revert to Rich Text and write some ugly html garble into it. Making custom modules into smart wouldn't require much developing effort from HubSpot, as it would only be needed that every field can have different content based on the smart rules.

You are currently unable to rename the folders that contain templates within the Design Manager. You can rename the templates themselves but not the parent folders. This is silly. Please allow us to rename folders.

In the V3 API CMS search api the filters in a filtergroup are limited to 3. This is an issue if you want to have, for example 4 vlaues of the same field you want to exclude from the results, because you have to create 4 filters. Three is a very low number even if you don't have somethining like the example above. It would be great if the number of filters would be raised.

The CMS has evolved into a great tool. However compared to our Wordpress or Shopify website builds, we cannot provide our clients with a staging version to fully test major changes. It is easy to proof a page or a module. But if you are launching a multi-page section that should be tested in the full website environment, good luck. Content staging is very useful, but its not a full staging environment. You cannot test changes in global modules, navigation, ETC. The sandbox in enterprise doesn't copy everything. So it would take a lot of time and manual work to do a clone and keep it updated for the client to test. We definetly NEED a good test environment where we could test the whole website with those changes in an more efficient way. I'd love confirmation that this is on the roadmap for at least Enterprise and hopefully CMS Pro as well.

By default, it seems impossible to use functionality like 'Blog content' modules and 'Smart content' in custom modules. Since the release of the 'Local development beta' we have a lot more possibilities to create innovative and dynamic websites. Using techniques like React, ES6 and SCSS with webpack and gulp is one of the main reasons why I am so excited about the new dev beta. Custom modules alow us to set really specific purposes for modules and restrict the user on how the module is used. It also gives us the possibility of creating a complex structure for a module. This being said, the downside of using custom modules is the lack of functionality. Our marketeers want to use 'Smart content' for custom modules to benefit of all the marketing tools Hubspot has to offer. Right now, we can not use this functionality with custom modules, so we would have to use the 'old way' and use Hubspot default modules. This makes it much harder to create complex designs. We also use custom modules for our blogs. One of the most important fields in a blog is the 'Blog content'. It is used for the RSS feed and offers other functionality. We can not use this functionality in a richtext field in a custom module. I would love to get the same functionality in custom modules. The meta.json (https://designers.hubspot.com/docs/tools/local-module-development) allready offers some settings to define what functionality and restrictions a module should have. It also has a smart_type field, but I am not sure what the functionality of this field is.

Hi, on a HubSpot Website there seems to be a lot of JS files /scripts included and loaded upon page load. For a lot of those it is unclear for me what they are even doing and somtimes not possible to determine if i even need them on my website. It would be great in the interest of performance to be able to choose which scripts are being included and which are not ( maybe like the way we can include/exclude the loading of JQuery?). Possible Solution (based on Subscription): When a customer has purchased a certain Hub, their website could load the scripts associated with the services of this Hub. However, if you have not subscribed to this hub, the scripts of this hub should not be included, since its services cannot be used anyway. The scripts would be loaded unnecessarily.

Is it possible to add an "open all links in new tab" function for blogs? As of now, the default is to have the links open in the same window — if you want a link to open in a new tab, you must manually select each individual link to change the default setting. For research-heavy blogs, on average we spend an hour per blog solely on clicking on each external link to open in a new tab. As users, since this function is already provided, it would be more efficient to have the option to apply this to an entire body of text. For our team, this would save us a ton of time. If we could apply this to the entire body to begin with, we could get it done in less than 10 minutes. Here, you can find a previous HubSpot forum with a similar idea — other people have continuously been experiencing this same issue since 2017. And in terms of SEO, if you’re opening external links in the same tab as your site, this affects both you and your users. The optimal user experience would be for the external link to open in a new tab, and for the blog reader to continue reading the post, going back to the other tab later. Otherwise, once the reader leaves your website, they likely won’t make it back. In fact, this HubSpot blog states “opening a link in a new browser window, as opposed to the window they are currently in (your website) makes it less likely that a user will permanently abandon your website for the one you linked to.” All companies are different. Optimal experiences are different. Workflows are different. We should have the option to decide what works best for us and our clients while having the tools to make our workflow easier. If we can change link behavior on CTAs manually, why not allow a default setting?
