Monitoring

Scheduled re-checks with diffs and alerts when something actually changes.

Check your plan, add pages to watch, then open the diff when an alert fires.

## Step by step

### Step 1. Verify the site first

How to use it: Monitoring assumes you control the site. Verify ownership on the site overview, then add URLs here.

*Step 1 — Verify the site first*

### Step 2. Add a page to watch

How to use it: Under Watch a page, enter the Page URL and choose What to check — Full page audit, Uptime ping (free), or Full site scan on Growth and Agency. Set How often and Alerts, then press Start watching.

*Step 2 — Add a page to watch*

### Step 3. Check your plan and cost

How to use it: The cards at the top show Pages watched, Cost per check and your Plan. Page checks cost credits; uptime pings and comparisons are free. Without an active plan the page offers Start 14 days free or the add-on.

*Step 3 — Check your plan and cost*

### Step 4. Open a diff after an alert

How to use it: When an alert fires, press What changed on the watched page to compare runs and see exactly what changed. Alerts go to email, and to Slack, Discord or a webhook if you add one under More options.
