Website monitoring that catches what uptime tools miss.

Sitewatch is a website monitoring tool that catches problems uptime monitors miss. While uptime tools only check whether your server returns a 200 status code, Sitewatch loads each page like a real browser, fingerprints every JavaScript, CSS, and third-party asset, inspects HTTP headers, and compares against a baseline — so it detects broken deploys, failed scripts, MIME mismatches, redirect loops, and security regressions even when the server still says "OK." It is built for agencies, freelancers, and dev teams who need to know their sites actually work, not just that they respond. Sitewatch starts free for one site.

Uptime monitors only check if your server responds with a 200 status code. Sitewatch runs two types of checks on every site: ping checks (lightweight HTTP probe every 5 minutes for uptime tracking) and integrity checks (full page fetch that validates every asset, inspects headers, and compares against baselines). Broken JavaScript bundles, missing CSS files, MIME mismatches, and redirect loops can all happen while your server returns 200. We catch the failures that uptime tools miss.

Yes. Sitewatch fingerprints every JavaScript and CSS asset on your monitored pages. If a CDN goes down, a deploy breaks a bundle hash, or a third-party script returns a 404, we detect it within minutes and include the full evidence in your incident report.

Absolutely. Many websites rely on third-party scripts for analytics, chat widgets, payment forms, and more. Sitewatch monitors all assets loaded on your pages, including third-party resources, so you know immediately when an external dependency fails.

Sitewatch runs integrity checks on a configurable schedule — from every 5 minutes (Pro) to every 30 minutes (Free), plus 5-minute ping checks on all plans. When an issue is detected, alerts are sent immediately via your configured channels. Email is available on all plans. Starter adds Slack and webhooks. Pro adds PagerDuty, Opsgenie, and SMS (30/month). Most teams receive their first alert within minutes of an issue appearing.

Yes. Our Pro plan includes multi-region monitoring so you can verify that your sites work correctly for users across different geographies. This is especially useful for catching CDN issues that only affect certain regions.

Each incident report includes a plain-English diagnosis (what broke, what users see, how to fix it), affected assets with full URLs, HTTP status codes, business severity level, and a complete timeline. When an incident resolves, a branded client-ready report is auto-generated — choose between a non-technical client template or a detailed technical view. Share via PDF or email link.

Yes. Every incident auto-generates a branded report on resolve, designed for agencies to send directly to clients. The client template uses plain English — no technical jargon. Add your logo, brand colors, and optional agency notes. Share as a PDF or via a unique link — no login required for viewing.

Deploy hooks are webhooks you add to your CI/CD pipeline (Vercel, Netlify, GitHub Actions, or any platform that supports webhooks). When a deploy completes, the webhook triggers an immediate Sitewatch website check — so you know within seconds if something broke, instead of waiting for the next scheduled check.

When Sitewatch detects an issue, it automatically classifies the root cause into one of 10 cause families (like DNS resolution failure, CDN cache misconfiguration, or deployment artifact missing). Each classification includes a confidence score and evidence from the check. No configuration required — it works out of the box.

Sitewatch auto-detects 23 tech stacks including Next.js, Nuxt, Gatsby, WordPress, Shopify, Cloudflare, Vercel, Netlify, AWS CloudFront, Nginx, Apache, and more. When an issue is found, fix steps include platform-specific guidance — like clearing the Cloudflare cache or redeploying on Vercel.

You can click through a page and see if it looks right, but you can't see MIME mismatches by eye, you can't detect host drift from a browser tab, and you certainly can't check 50 sites every hour. Even automated scripts only check what you've told them to check — and they don't deduplicate alerts, diagnose root cause, or generate client reports. Sitewatch validates every linked asset's HTTP status, content type, and fingerprint on every check — catching the silent failures that manual checks and basic scripts miss.

Internal monitoring typically checks what you've configured it to check — server health, specific endpoints, maybe a few status codes. Sitewatch checks what you didn't think to look for: MIME type mismatches, asset fingerprint changes after deploys, redirect chains, host drift, and 7 more failure types that all return 200 OK. It runs continuously across every asset on every monitored page, confirms issues aren't transient with retry logic, diagnoses root cause for 23 tech stacks, and auto-generates branded client reports. It's the layer between your infrastructure monitoring and your customers.

Hosting monitors infrastructure — server CPU, memory, and whether the process is running. They don't check whether your page actually works for visitors. A server returning 200 OK while serving broken JavaScript, missing stylesheets, or redirect loops is invisible to infrastructure monitoring. Sitewatch monitors the customer experience layer that hosting providers don't cover.

Instead of only monitoring the homepage, Sitewatch lets you monitor multiple pages per site — checkout, login, pricing, contact forms, or any page that matters to the business. Each page can be assigned a business importance level (critical, high, normal, low). The Free plan includes 1 page per site, Starter includes 5, and Pro includes 25.

When a deploy happens, Sitewatch automatically runs checks and produces a structured pass/fail/degraded verdict with a before/after comparison showing exactly what changed — asset counts, fingerprint diffs, redirect chain changes. No test scripts required. Just paste a webhook URL into your CI/CD pipeline.

Incident severity is adjusted based on the business importance of the affected page. A medium-severity issue on a checkout page marked as "critical" gets escalated to high severity and bypasses quiet hours. The same issue on a blog page stays medium. This means your team gets woken up for revenue-impacting failures — not blog image issues.

Sitewatch automatically sends branded health summary reports on a schedule — monthly on all plans (including Free), plus weekly on Pro. Each report shows uptime percentage, incidents detected and resolved, and overall site health. Clients view reports via a branded web link with no login required. Set it up once and it runs automatically.

Most monitoring goes stale: you set it up on the homepage at launch and never revisit it, while Checkout, Login, and Pricing go unwatched for months. Sitewatch gives every site an importance-weighted protection coverage score (0–100%) and names the unmonitored important pages — each with a one-click "Protect this page." Instead of a green dashboard that hides gaps, you see "82% covered — 3 important pages unprotected." Coverage is on every plan; you upgrade to monitor more pages and sites, which raises it.

Yes — these shipped as part of Sitewatch's "up-but-broken" detection surface. It flags an accidental robots.txt Disallow: / as high severity the day it deploys (before rankings collapse weeks later), alerts on unexpected DNS changes to MX and CNAME records, audits the URLs in your sitemap.xml weekly for broken entries, and watches up to 5 key phrases per page so a dropped price or removed CTA never slips by. All of these are included on every plan.
