What does SiteVitals Monitor?

SiteVitals provides a complete picture of your website's health, performance and resilience. Every plan includes our full monitoring suite, covering uptime, page performance, technical SEO, AI readiness, SSL certificates, domain expiry, security signals, and site integrity checks that help you spot issues before they impact visitors, rankings or revenue.

Beyond the website itself, SiteVitals also monitors the infrastructure behind it. Track server CPU usage, memory, disk space, load and running services with lightweight server monitoring, and keep scheduled tasks in check with cron job monitoring that alerts you when expected check-ins are missed.

Configure alerts via email, Slack or webhooks, and connect our MCP server to give your AI agents visibility across your entire portfolio. Here's what SiteVitals is checking in the background, every day, for every site you monitor.

Uptime Monitoring

Continuous checks with incident tracking, response time measurement, and automatic alerting when your site goes down.

Change Detection

Tracks meaningful changes to your site's content, structure, and scores over time — so you know when your site is quietly getting worse.

Security Scanning

Scans for security header issues, cookie problems, mixed content, JavaScript vulnerabilities, and matches software against the NVD database.

SEO and AI Readiness Auditing

Automated technical SEO checks covering title tags, meta descriptions, canonical tags, broken links, robots.txt, schema markup, and AI crawler accessibility.

Performance Monitoring

Lighthouse-powered analysis tracking PageSpeed scores, Core Web Vitals, render blocking resources, and third party script impact.

SSL Certificate Monitoring

Monitors SSL certificate validity and expiry, alerting you in advance before certificates expire and cause security warnings.

Domain Expiry Monitoring

Tracks domain expiry dates and alerts you before renewal deadlines so you never accidentally lose a domain.

Broken Link Detection

Automatically detects broken internal and external links that could harm user experience and SEO rankings.

MCP Server

SiteVitals supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — an open standard that lets AI assistants like Claude read live data from external tools.

Vulnerability Scanning

Detects known software vulnerabilities by matching detected technologies against the National Vulnerability Database.

Asset Integrity Monitoring

Checks for broken or missing assets including images, scripts, and stylesheets that could affect performance and appearance.

Server Monitoring

CPU, memory, disk, load, and individual service health — with sustained breach detection so brief spikes never trigger false alarms.

Cron Monitoring

Scheduled jobs that fail don't produce errors — they just stop working. SiteVitals detects missed and late jobs before anyone notices.

WordPress Plugin

Automatically log every WordPress core, theme and plugin update to your SiteVitals timeline — complete with version changes, timestamps and attribution.

Unified Timeline

Unified health scoring across uptime, SEO, security, performance, and integrity — a single picture of your site's overall condition.

Also included

Alerts & Notifications

Configurable alerts via email, Slack, webhook, and in-app notifications with deduplication to prevent alert fatigue.

Multi-site Management

Monitor and manage multiple websites from a single dashboard with per-site scoring, toggles, and bulk addition tools.

Monthly Health Reports

Automated monthly reports summarising uptime, scores, incidents, and trends — delivered by email and available to share with clients.

Team Collaboration

Invite team members and clients with role-based permissions so everyone who needs visibility has access.

Public Shareable Reports

Generate public-facing health reports for any monitored site — ideal for agencies demonstrating value to clients.

REST API

Full REST API with token-based authentication for integrating SiteVitals monitoring data into your own tools and workflows.

One timeline for everything

A complete timeline of everything that changed on your site

Every scan SiteVitals runs is timestamped and logged to a shared timeline. Uptime events, security regressions, content changes, structural shifts, performance dips. All of it, in order, with dates.

But here's what makes it genuinely useful: you can add to it too.Installed a new plugin? Log it. Deployed a new version? Log it. Changed your DNS provider? Log it. The timeline becomes a complete record — not just what we observed, but what your team did.

When something goes wrong, you won't be reconstructing what changed from memory. You'll have a single timeline that shows exactly what happened, in what order.

Questions

Things people often ask us.

If something isn't covered here, we're genuinely happy to answer it. We're a real team and we actually respond.

How can I monitor my website uptime?

+

SiteVitals continuously checks your selected pages and alerts you immediately if they become unavailable, helping you respond quickly and minimise downtime.

Can website downtime affect SEO?

+

Yes. Repeated or prolonged downtime can prevent search engines from crawling your pages, which may negatively affect rankings and visibility.

How do I monitor the overall health of my website?

+

Website health monitoring combines uptime, performance, SEO, security and integrity checks so you can spot issues affecting reliability, speed, visibility and safety.

How can I monitor my website for security vulnerabilities?

+

SiteVitals scans monitored pages for unsafe code, weak configurations, exposed software and security header issues to help detect changes in your site’s security posture.

How do I track and detect website performance changes over time?

+

SiteVitals monitors performance using Google PageSpeed Insights and stores historical results. When significant regressions occur, alerts are triggered so you can investigate recent changes.

Do I need technical knowledge to use SiteVitals?

+

No. SiteVitals is designed for both technical and non-technical users. You can start monitoring without installing software or making code changes. Technical users who want to monitor servers can optionally install a simple shell script that sends server metrics to SiteVitals.

How does server monitoring work?

+

Server monitoring uses a lightweight agent installed on your server with a single command. The agent collects CPU, memory, disk, and load data every minute and reports to SiteVitals. You can also configure which services to monitor — nginx, MySQL, Redis and others — and receive alerts if any of them stop or start crash-looping.

What is cron monitoring and why do I need it?

+

Scheduled jobs that fail don't produce error messages — they just silently stop running. Cron monitoring gives each job a unique check-in URL. When your job completes, it pings that URL. If SiteVitals doesn't receive a ping within the expected window, it alerts you immediately — before a missed backup, report, or sync causes a real problem.
