WebMonitors

Open a monitor, paste a public link, and decide what you want to catch: pixel-level layout shifts, specific words and phrases, or structural HTML/DOM changes. Narrow the target to a section of the page by clicking the area or supplying a CSS/XPath selector. Set the scan cadence and the alert rule: only when a real change occurs, above a pixel or text threshold, or when a term appears or disappears. Run a preview to confirm the target, then send a test alert. Route notifications to email, Slack, Discord, or webhooks; add voice, SMS, RSS, or push if you need broader reach. Tune frequency and thresholds per channel so the right people get the right signal at the right time.

Track competitors and content with practical rules. Watch pricing tables, release notes, feature pages, and job listings. Create conditions like alert when a price drops below a value, when a new plan shows up, or when a term such as Beta, Deprecated, or Back in stock is present. Lock onto a single module on a busy page and detect updates to copy, code, or images. Every event saves a visual snapshot and an archive entry so you can compare versions over time and explain what changed. Monitor pages in any language; phrase matching and HTML diffs work across scripts. Pause monitoring during known deployments with maintenance mode to avoid false noise.

Keep operations and security informed. Run availability checks from multiple regions and receive uptime, downtime, and response-time reports. Fire instant alerts when a region fails or latency spikes. Watch HTTPS health: certificate validity, protocol errors, and page load status. Track sensitive areas too—supply credentials to monitor pages behind a login. Point a monitor at an FTP directory to spot new, updated, or missing files. Turn on defacement detection to catch injected scripts, unexpected iframes, swapped images, altered links, or suspicious text the moment it appears. Use webhooks to post incidents to your on-call workflow or incident channels.

Cover documents and structured assets. Monitor PDFs and Excel files for text changes—perfect for terms of service, rate cards, datasheets, or regulatory docs. When content shifts, you’ll receive a highlighted diff and a captured screenshot for context. Product and engineering teams can shadow API docs and changelogs to prep releases; analysts can build competitive timelines with scheduled snapshots. Set escalation paths—email on first hit, then SMS if the condition persists over several scans. Use the delivered uptime and change reports for audits, reviews, and stakeholder updates.
