# HitKeep 2.6.1: Web Vitals Dedup And Maintenance

Published June 1, 2026·[Pascale Beier, HitKeep maintainer](https://github.com/pascalebeier)·1 min read

HitKeep 2.6.1 was published on June 1, 2026. It is a maintenance patch on top of [HitKeep 2.6.0](https://hitkeep.com/blog/hitkeep-2-6-0/) and keeps the city, provider, ASN, Web Vitals, MCP, and export surfaces compatible.

The main product fix is Web Vitals metric identity. The tracker now sends the metric ID emitted by the Web Vitals library, and the ingest path stores it with the Web Vitals sample. This gives HitKeep a stable metric identity for duplicate handling when a browser reports metric updates for the same page session.

## What changed

- **Web Vitals metric IDs:** `hk-vitals.js` sends the metric ID, ingest accepts it, and Web Vitals rows can store it as optional `metric_id` data.
- **Dashboard site selectors:** API-client, settings, and UTM builder site selectors share the same site option component, favicon treatment, and domain sorting.
- **Dependency maintenance:** Go modules, dashboard dependencies, and GitHub Actions were refreshed.
- **IP metadata refresh:** embedded IP metadata assets were refreshed for release builds.
- **MCP registry metadata:** `server.json` advertises the 2.6.1 MCP package version.

## Upgrade guidance

Upgrade to 2.6.1 if you use Web Vitals reporting, want the latest dependency refresh, or publish HitKeep MCP metadata to tooling catalogs.

The Web Vitals schema change is additive. Existing Web Vitals rows do not need backfill. Older samples may have no metric ID, while new samples can preserve the metric ID sent by the tracker.
