Question 1

What does SiteGuardian cost?

Accepted Answer

SiteGuardian is a paid tool. Starter is $19 a month and covers one site with up to fifty URLs under watch. Pro is $39 a month, covers three sites with up to fifty URLs under watch and adds every-minute probing. Lifetime is $299 paid once, covers one site with all future updates included. Pick the tier that matches how you intend to use SiteGuardian.

Question 2

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

There is no trial clock. You can monitor one URL for free forever — no card and no time limit — and that is itself the closest thing to a trial. Starter at $19 a month, Pro at $39 a month, and Lifetime at $299 once all come with the full product from day one.

Question 3

What happens if my site goes down?

Accepted Answer

The next minute a probe fails, SiteGuardian sends you one email per site — no avalanche, no repeat alerts while the failure window is open. The same minute the site recovers, you get a short recovery email so you know it is back. Everything else stays quiet.

Question 4

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Starter and Pro are month-to-month — cancel from your billing page and the next month simply does not charge. Lifetime is paid once, so there is nothing to cancel; you keep the watch as long as the product runs. No support ticket required to stop a subscription.

Question 5

What's the difference between these free tools and the paid plans?

Accepted Answer

The free tools are one-shot checks you can hit on a URL with no signup. The paid plans run the same checks automatically, once a minute, around the clock, and email you the second something goes down instead of waiting for you to ask.

Question 6

Do I need to sign up to use the free tools?

Accepted Answer

No. Type a URL, get a report. There is no account, no email required, and no limit on how many times you run a check.

Question 7

Is the page-speed test the same as Google Lighthouse?

Accepted Answer

No — Lighthouse runs in your browser and measures against the visitor experience. Our page-speed test runs from our probe, so it measures the same thing the monitoring cron measures. Both numbers are useful; they are not the same number.
