Critical page monitoring

Your Homepage Is Up. But Is Your Checkout Page Working?

Most monitoring tools only check your homepage — but revenue-critical pages like checkout, login, and pricing can break silently while your homepage stays green. Sitewatch monitors up to 25 pages per site, each tagged with a business importance level (critical, high, normal, or low) so alerts and severity scoring reflect what actually matters to your business.

  • Four business importance levels — critical, high, normal, low
  • Monitor 1 page (Free), 5 pages (Starter), or 25 pages (Pro) per site
  • Severity auto-escalates when issues hit critical or high-importance pages

01The difference

Homepage-only monitoring vs. critical page monitoring

Coverage

Homepage-only monitoring:
Single page — homepage only
Critical page monitoring:
Up to 25 pages per site

Severity context

Homepage-only monitoring:
All issues treated equally
Critical page monitoring:
Severity weighted by business importance

Debug context

Homepage-only monitoring:
"Your site has an issue"
Critical page monitoring:
Exact page, exact issue, exact importance

Revenue protection

Homepage-only monitoring:
Checkout can break unnoticed
Critical page monitoring:
Critical pages trigger escalated alerts

02Why critical page monitoring

Stop assuming your whole site is fine because the homepage loads

Monitor beyond the homepage

Add checkout, login, pricing, contact, and any other page that matters. Each page gets its own monitoring and health status.

Business importance levels

Tag each page as critical, high, normal, or low importance. Sitewatch uses these levels to prioritize alerts and weight severity scores.

Severity escalation for critical pages

When an issue hits a critical or high-importance page, Sitewatch automatically escalates the severity — so your team knows it is urgent.

Per-page health status

See the health of every monitored page at a glance. Know exactly which page is broken, not just that "the site has issues".

Plan-gated page limits

Free plans monitor 1 page per site. Starter gives you 5. Pro unlocks 25 pages per site — enough for every revenue-critical flow.

Works with all your existing checks

Every monitored page runs through all 20 detection rules — broken links, missing assets, SSL, DNS, performance, and more.

03Pages that matter

The pages your business actually runs on.

Not every page is worth the same. Select one to see how it fails — and why it should not share an alert threshold with your blog.

Checkout

revenue

How it fails — The payment step breaks and customers cannot complete a purchase, while every other page works.

How Sitewatch detects it — Monitored as a critical page, so a failure escalates immediately instead of waiting in a queue.

Login

access

How it fails — Existing customers cannot get in, so support tickets arrive before monitoring says anything.

How Sitewatch detects it — Checked on its own schedule with its own severity, independent of the homepage.

Pricing

conversion

How it fails — The pricing table stops rendering, so visitors who were ready to buy see an empty page.

How Sitewatch detects it — Verified as a high-importance page, including every file the table depends on.

Booking

scheduling

How it fails — The calendar or booking widget stalls and appointments quietly stop being made.

How Sitewatch detects it — Watched for both availability and the third-party scripts the flow depends on.

Search

discovery

How it fails — Search returns nothing at all, and visitors conclude you have no products.

How Sitewatch detects it — Checked as a monitored page, so a silent empty state is caught rather than assumed.

04How it works

From page list to business-aware monitoring in four steps

  1. 01

    Add pages to your site

    Enter the URLs you want to monitor — checkout, login, pricing, contact, or any page that matters to your business.

  2. 02

    Set importance levels

    Tag each page as critical, high, normal, or low. This tells Sitewatch how to weight issues found on that page.

  3. 03

    Checks run per page

    Every scheduled check runs all 20 detection rules against each monitored page independently — not just the homepage.

  4. 04

    Severity adjusts by importance

    Issues on critical pages get escalated severity. Your team sees the business impact immediately, not just a generic alert.

05What you get

Outcomes, not a feature list.

A healthy homepage can no longer hide a broken checkout.

Most monitoring watches the front door and nothing else. Sitewatch checks each revenue page in its own right and weights the alert by what the page is worth, so a broken checkout wakes you and a broken blog post does not.
