Summary

  • New /evallinks backend endpoint — follows Microsoft Eval Center fwlink redirects in parallel goroutines, detects arch and locale from CDN URL, caches results for 24h, and warms the cache at startup
  • New /eval listing page and /product/<slug> detail pages for 5 eval products (Windows Server 2025/2022/2019/2016, Windows 11 Enterprise) — routed via a smart ProductRouter component that checks evalSlugSet
  • Full SEO pass — unique seoDesc per product (≤155 chars), BreadcrumbList + SoftwareApplication JSON-LD on detail pages, ItemList JSON-LD on listing page, noindex on legal pages, consistent page titles
  • Homepage updated — Enterprise & Server CTA banner, updated HowItWorks step, new ComparisonTable row, new FAQ entry
  • README updated — /evallinks API docs, eval products table, fixed Contributing guide

  • Copy button works on primary and secondary links
  • Back button navigates correctly (-1 or falls back to /eval)
  • Dock highlights Products tab when on /eval or /product/server-*
  • aria2 tip and "Also available" section render outside the card box
  • Homepage Enterprise & Server CTA banner links to /eval
  • ComparisonTable shows new "Server & Enterprise ISOs" row
