Everything You Need to Know Your Site Actually Works
Uptime tools tell you the server is on. Sitewatch tells you the page works. We check every part of your pages, catch redirect loops, watch your SSL and security, and alert you across six channels — with evidence, not guesswork. Here is everything Sitewatch does.
- Checks every part of your page, on every check
- 6 alert channels, with the noise filtered out
- Every incident comes with evidence, a fix, and a shareable report
01Detection
What Sitewatch monitors on every check
Uptime & ping monitoring
Know the moment your site goes down. A lightweight check every 5 minutes on all plans catches outages and server errors. Uptime percentage tracked and shown on your status page.
Every part of the page checked
Every script, stylesheet, image, and font your pages need is checked on every run. A missing file, or one served the wrong way, gets flagged immediately.
Security posture monitoring
5 security headers monitored on every check. Regression alerts when a deployment removes a header. Mixed content detection across 9 resource types. No configuration required.
Mixed content detection
HTTP resources on HTTPS pages detected automatically — scripts, images, stylesheets, iframes, and more. Active mixed content flagged critical. Passive content flagged high. Included on all plans.
SSL certificate monitoring
Every SSL certificate monitored continuously — 30-day expiry warning, full chain validation, and TLS protocol and cipher checks. Runs automatically on every check, no configuration required.
Domain expiry monitoring
Domain registration expiry is tracked automatically for every monitored site. 30-day early warning before a client domain lapses — no extra tools, no manual reminders.
Redirect detection
Redirect loops, long redirect chains, and pages that quietly move are caught and reported, showing the full path a visitor takes.
Files served the wrong way
When a file is served as the wrong type, browsers silently block it — and the page breaks. Sitewatch catches it and tells you.
Content-change detection
Sitewatch flags when a deploy changes your page in a way you didn't intend — so an accidental change never goes unnoticed.
Content & keyword loss
Watch up to 5 key phrases per page — a price, a CTA, a phone number. Sitewatch alerts when a phrase that was present disappears, so a botched CMS edit never goes unnoticed.
Robots.txt regression
Flags an accidental Disallow: / as high severity the day it ships — before organic traffic collapses weeks later — plus robots.txt becoming unreachable.
DNS (MX/CNAME) changes
Snapshots and diffs your mail and alias records, alerting on unexpected MX or CNAME changes you didn't make — before they break email or services.
Sitemap URL health
A weekly crawl of the URLs in your sitemap.xml (sampled for large sites) flags broken entries that waste crawl budget and erode SEO.

02Coverage assurance
Know what you're not protecting — before it breaks
Protection coverage score
Every site carries an importance-weighted coverage score (0–100%) and names the unmonitored important pages — Checkout, Login, Pricing — each with one-click protect.
First-scan risk report
The moment a site's first scan finishes, you get a persistent report: every category checked, what passed, and exactly what isn't covered yet. No black box.
Risk-framed plan limits
Hit a limit and you see the named risk — "your Checkout is unmonitored" — not a billing nag. Upgrade and one click protects everything you were missing.
03Alerting
Six channels, three layers of noise control
6 alert channels
Slack, email, SMS, webhook, PagerDuty, and Opsgenie — all dispatched independently. If one fails, the others still deliver.
Confirmed before alerting
Every issue is re-checked before an alert fires. One-off glitches are filtered out. Near-zero false alarms by design.
One problem, one alert
Sitewatch groups the same problem into one incident — not twenty. A 30-minute cooldown prevents alert storms.
Per-site routing
Override notification settings per site. Different sites can alert to different channels, recipients, or escalation paths.
04Reporting
Evidence you can act on and share
Typed incidents
20 detection rules with auto-classified severity, event timelines, and tailored fix checklists. Every incident includes the evidence to diagnose and resolve.
Shareable reports
Generate token-based public links for any incident or bundle of incidents. Share evidence with clients — no login required.
Public status pages
Branded, client-facing status pages with real-time health, quality scores, security grades, uptime history, and announcements.
Quality scores
Overall site quality calculated from availability (25%), redirect health (25%), asset health (25%), and security headers (25%).
