FAQ
Answers to common questions about Site Monitor — content change detection, uptime monitoring, pricing, CSS selector targeting, and more.
Frequently asked questions
What makes Site Monitor different from a basic uptime monitor?
Most uptime monitors tell you 'site is down.' Site Monitor tells you what changed — pricing tables, page content, response times, sub-page links — with AI-generated summaries describing what was different. Uptime monitoring is included, but it's the baseline, not the headline.
What is content change detection and how does it work?
On every check, Site Monitor fingerprints the content of your page. If anything changes — pricing copy, product descriptions, a competitor's announcement — you get an email alert, and an AI-generated summary of what was actually different appears in the site's dashboard. Every plan includes AI summaries; paid plans include more of them each month.
Can I monitor only part of a page?
Yes. Use a CSS selector to target a specific element — a pricing table (#pricing), an announcement banner (.notice), a product listing. Changes elsewhere on the page are ignored, preventing false positives from timestamps, live counters, and rotating ads.
How often does Site Monitor check my URLs?
Free checks every hour. Paid plans check as often as every 5 minutes, and you can set the interval per URL.
Will I get spammed with alerts?
No. Site Monitor uses state-change semantics — one alert when something changes, one when it recovers. No repeated alerts for an ongoing outage or a page that keeps changing. Just the signal, not the noise.
Can I monitor sites I don't own?
Site Monitor can check any publicly accessible URL, fetching it periodically the way a browser would. You're responsible for making sure your use complies with each site's terms and applicable law. Not allowed: using the service to flood a site with requests, bypass authentication, or scrape content in violation of a site's terms.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The Free plan covers 10 URLs checked every hour, with 2 AI change summaries a month — no credit card required. It includes uptime alerts and content change detection.
