Question 1

How do I start a free website watch?

Accepted Answer

Open the free website monitor, enter one website URL and an email address, then submit the form. That starts a watch for one URL; you do not need a card or an account to begin.

Question 2

Do I need an account or payment details for the first watch?

Accepted Answer

No. The free setup form asks for a URL and an email address. You can start watching one URL without creating an account or entering card details.

Question 3

Which website checks does SiteGuardian monitor?

Accepted Answer

SiteGuardian covers six monitoring areas: uptime and availability, SSL certificates, broken links, form failures, checkout failures, and page speed. These checks look for problems along key visitor paths and alert you when one is detected.

Question 4

What belongs in a useful website monitoring checklist?

Accepted Answer

A shared baseline covers availability and failure-and-recovery alerts, SSL and DNS, backup restore and rollback, performance, and links and navigation. These are useful operational checks alongside automated monitoring.

Question 5

Does SiteGuardian automate every checklist item?

Accepted Answer

No. A monitoring checklist is broader than SiteGuardian’s automated checks. For example, verifying that a backup can be restored and keeping a tested rollback path are operational tasks to review; they are not the same as the six monitoring areas listed above.

Question 6

How should I tailor the checklist to my website?

Accepted Answer

Start with the shared baseline, then add checks for the business-critical path on your site. A marketing site, lead-generation site, online store, SaaS product, and publisher each have different visitor journeys to protect.
