Updated
- New notice posted: 'Proposed amendment to Rule 12.4 — comment period open until April 30'
- Filing deadline for Q2 reports moved from June 15 to June 30
How it works
Add the URL
A regulatory docket, a state compliance calendar, an agency public-notice page, or a guidance index.
Scope it if needed
Government sites often have rotating headers and alert banners. A CSS selector on the notice list keeps alerts relevant.
Read the AI summary
You get an email alert, and your dashboard shows a natural-language summary of what was added, removed, or reworded.
You choose which alerts each URL sends — downtime, content changes, slow responses — and we email you when they happen.
What you can track
- New or amended rules on a regulatory docket
- Updates to an agency's public-notice or press page
- New compliance calendar dates and filing deadlines
- Changes to licensing, permit, or fee schedules
- New guidance documents from a regulator
Manual checks miss changes
Most agencies publish updates on their own pages without email lists, RSS feeds, or APIs. Teams end up assigning someone to check a list of bookmarks every week — and changes still slip through between checks.
Site Monitor checks every URL automatically and keeps a history, so you have a timestamped record of when each change appeared. That's useful for audit trails as well as for reacting quickly.
Who uses government page monitoring
Compliance teams, lobbyists and policy analysts, journalists, nonprofits tracking grant and program changes, and small businesses watching licensing and tax pages all use the same pattern: a short list of pages that rarely change, where missing a change is expensive.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need API access to the government site?
No. Site Monitor fetches the public page over HTTP like a browser — no API keys or credentials.
Does it work on pages that load content with JavaScript?
Yes. Site Monitor can render the page in a headless browser before fingerprinting it, so content injected by JavaScript is included in the comparison.
Will rotating ads, timestamps, or counters cause false alerts?
Not if you scope the watch. Add a CSS selector (for example #pricing or .event-list) and Site Monitor fingerprints only that element — everything else on the page is ignored. Whitespace-only changes never trigger an alert.
Is there a history of past changes?
Yes. Every check is recorded with its time, and AI summaries of past changes stay in the site's dashboard. Paid plans also keep screenshot history for a visual record.
How often does Site Monitor check a page?
Free checks every hour. Paid plans check as often as every 5 minutes, and you can set the interval per URL.
Is Site Monitor free?
Yes. The Free plan covers 10 URLs checked every hour, with 2 AI change summaries a month — no credit card required. Upgrade only if you need faster checks, more URLs, or more AI summaries.
