You know you’re on the right track when a casual coffee in Cologne with Max Schrems inspires you to go big. It got our founders thinking: what’s the biggest, most fundamental problem we can solve for our users right now? The answer was unanimous: SPEED.
So, we drafted a bill. A big, beautiful meetergo bill. And today, we’re signing the first part into law. This isn’t some thousand-page document nobody reads; this is a lean, mean, feature-packed update designed to make your life simpler and your scheduling faster. A lot of people are saying it’s the best update they’ve ever seen. Let’s dive in.
The Need for Speed (Clause 1: Lightning-Fast Booking Pages)
The cornerstone of this bill, the most important clause, is about speed. Tremendous speed. When someone wants to book a meeting with you, they should see your availability instantly. No waiting. No watching a little wheel spin. It should just be there. Believe me.
To do that, our engineers—we have the best engineers—went deep into the heart of meetergo. They looked at the very complex, very high-IQ algorithms that calculate your open time slots. It involves looking at all your calendars, your team’s calendars, your availability rules, and finding those perfect little windows of opportunity.
Two key parts of this process got a complete overhaul.
First, there's a little piece of code that does one simple thing over and over: it checks if two blocks of time overlap. We call it getIntersection. It’s the single most common calculation we do. The old way was fine. It worked. But we knew it could be better. The new way is… well, the numbers speak for themselves. The best numbers.
Old getIntersection: 26,864 milliseconds
New getIntersection: 1.98 milliseconds
That’s not a typo. It’s over 13,500 times faster.
This single change has a massive ripple effect. Because we use that little calculation to build your entire schedule of available slots (a process we call generateAvailabilitySlots), that got a huge boost, too.
Old generateAvailabilitySlots: 81,510 milliseconds
New generateAvailabilitySlots: 3,025 milliseconds
That’s a 27x speed improvement on the core logic that powers your booking page.
So, what does this mean for you, the user? It means your booking pages now load, on average, about 50% faster across the board. For those of you with very complex schedules—using round-robin booking pages with many team members or connecting lots of calendars—the difference will be even more dramatic. It’s a game-changer. This is the first wave of speed improvements, and more are on the way. We’re just getting started.
Making Apple Great (Again... and Again)
We heard you. We heard you loud and clear. A lot of great people, the best users, told us that sometimes the Apple iCloud connection could feel a little… sleepy. It was taking a few seconds too long to sync up, and that’s not acceptable. Not for meetergo users.
So we took a long, hard look at our iCloud integration and made it fantastic. We’ve optimized the connection in several ways. For those of you who were experiencing the slowest load times—we’re talking the median for the slowest 10% of connections, frankly—those have been cut by about 33%. What used to take 3 seconds now takes 2. That’s a huge improvement where it matters most.
Furthermore, we found a very specific, some would say rare, issue for our power users who connect multiple Apple accounts. Previously, meetergo would talk to each Apple account one at a time, sequentially. It was like waiting in three separate lines, one after the other. It was inefficient. Now, we talk to all of them at once, in parallel. For someone with two Apple connections, this changes the sync time from around 6 seconds down to just 2 seconds. It just works. It’s the best Apple connection. Everyone agrees.

A Perfect History. Now You Can Backfill It.
Your meetergo account should be the single source of truth for all your organization's meetings. The complete record. But what about meetings that happened before you started using a new booking page, or appointments that were booked outside of meetergo? Many of you told us you wanted a way to add these past appointments into meetergo for your stats and records, without causing a ruckus.
Now, you can. The Instant Booker has a beautiful new feature: backfilling.
It’s incredibly simple. When you use the Instant Booker to create a new appointment, just select a date and time that has already passed. The moment you do, meetergo automatically enters “Backfill Mode.”
In this mode, the appointment is created perfectly in your and your client’s calendar, and it shows up in all your meetergo reports. But here’s the magic: no emails are sent. No SMS reminders are triggered. No automations are run. It creates a perfect historical record without sending an awkward notification about a meeting that happened last Tuesday. It gives you complete control over your organization's meeting history. It's so simple, yet so powerful.
And a Few More Tremendous Tweaks…
A great bill is all about the details. It’s not just the big, beautiful clauses; it’s the fine print that makes everything work perfectly for everyone. We’ve included a number of smaller, but very important, fixes and additions.
- A More Harmonious Embed Script: We received reports that our embed script was sometimes getting into little arguments with other scripts on WordPress sites, especially those using Elementor. We’ve sent our script to finishing school. It now plays nicely with others, so there should be no more conflicts. We also added an onSuccess callback for the developers and builders out there, the best people.
- Australian Dollars Are In: Our friends down under can now feel right at home. We’ve officially added the Australian Dollar (AUD) as a currency option for all payment integrations.
- Perfected Availability Rules: A small visual hiccup that sometimes occurred when adding multiple availability rules near the end of a month has been smoothed over. It’s pixel-perfect now.
- Better Email Delivery: We fixed a pesky issue where emails would sometimes fail to send if the sender's name contained special non-ASCII characters. Now your name can be as beautiful and unique as you are, and your emails will send flawlessly.
- Mobile Form Fix: On mobile, sometimes a required radio button on a booking form wouldn’t validate properly. That bug has been squashed.
- No More Duplicates: We found and fixed a rare bug that could cause your browser to make a duplicate request for booking availability. It’s gone. Fired.
This is the first of many big, beautiful updates we have planned. We are working tirelessly to build a platform that is not only powerful and private but also a genuine joy to use. The best is yet to come.
Stay tuned,
