Monitoring events
Downtime, recoveries, score changes, security findings, integrity warnings and content changes are timestamped automatically.
Events timeline
SiteVitals brings the important things it detects into one shared timeline: downtime, security issues, SEO changes, performance shifts, integrity warnings and content updates. Add your own notes for deployments, campaigns or maintenance too, so when something changes later you have a record of what happened around the same time.
One timeline for the whole site
Websites are rarely changed by one person in one place. A marketer edits a landing page, a developer deploys code, a plugin updates, a certificate nears expiry, a third-party script changes, or performance starts drifting. Each event on its own can look harmless.
The events timeline puts those moments in order. SiteVitals adds the things it detects automatically, while your team can add manual notes for things only you know about. That gives everyone a shared record to look back at when a ranking drops, a page slows down or something simply starts behaving differently.
We previously called this Change Intelligence. That still describes the value behind the feature, but Events Timeline is the clearer name for what you actually use: your site's event history, with enough context to help you join the dots.
Downtime, recoveries, score changes, security findings, integrity warnings and content changes are timestamped automatically.
Add deployments, content releases, campaigns, maintenance or anything else your team may need to remember later.
Instead of checking six dashboards and trying to remember what happened first, the timeline puts the sequence in one place.
When something changes weeks later, you have a record to investigate rather than relying on memory or asking around.
See it in action
This is an interactive timeline, not a screenshot. Open events, move through the history and see how automated detections and manual notes sit alongside each other.
Change Intelligence Timeline — How it works
SiteVitals keeps a continuous, dated record of everything it detects regressions, recoveries, content shifts, security changes, so you always have a trail to follow. Your team can add to it too. Deployed something? Log it. Client made changes? Note it.
Where the timeline earns its keep
The timeline is most useful when several people, tools and changes are involved - precisely the situations where memory becomes unreliable.
01
Look back at the period before the drop and see page edits, heading changes, SEO regressions, performance shifts or other events in sequence.
02
Agencies get a shared record of what happened between check-ins, so the conversation starts with dates and evidence rather than guesswork.
03
Add the deployment as a manual event, then see what SiteVitals detected around it across performance, security, integrity and content.
04
Weeks later, the answer is still there. That matters when a small change has a delayed consequence and the person who made it has moved on to something else.
The same history is useful to machines too
SiteVitals' API exposes recent events alongside current health and score history, so an AI assistant or internal tool can answer questions with context instead of looking at a single snapshot.
That makes questions like “what changed before performance dropped?” or “did anything happen around the time this SEO score fell?” much easier to investigate.
