March 2026 brings a round of performance improvements and stability fixes across ChatNoRegister. No major new features this time — just a focused effort to make everything that already exists work better and faster.
WebSocket Connection Stability
Since launching the real-time WebSocket system, a small percentage of users on mobile networks and certain ISPs experienced occasional disconnections that were slower than expected to recover. This update includes:
- Faster reconnect logic — the client now attempts reconnection with an exponential back-off starting at 1 second, capping at 15 seconds
- Silent fallback improvement — when AJAX fallback activates, it now resumes at the last known message position instead of reloading the full log
- PM2 health monitoring — the WebSocket server process now restarts automatically within 3 seconds if it crashes, rather than waiting for the next PM2 health check cycle
Page Load Improvements

Fixes in This Update
- Sitemap — fixed dynamic sitemap to correctly include all published articles; updated
robots.txt to point to the PHP sitemap endpoint
- CSS on sub-pages — fixed broken styles on category pages (
/cat/tips, /cat/blog, etc.) caused by relative CSS paths not resolving correctly from nested URLs
- Powers Store ? links — the help badge now works for all 22 powers, not just Prism
- Article page layout — table elements in articles now scroll horizontally on small screens instead of overflowing
What Is Coming Next
We are working on several improvements planned for the next major update:
- More Powers — additional name effects, avatar animations, and a new seasonal category
- User profiles — a basic public profile page showing earned powers and chat activity
- Room themes — let room owners set a custom theme for their room
