Question 1

How do I monitor a password-protected gallery?

Accepted Answer

Add the post-password page as the URL. SiteGuardian probes what a visitor sees when the password is correct, which is the page the couple shares with their family. The check fires the second that page stops answering.

Question 2

What slow threshold should I set for an image-heavy portfolio?

Accepted Answer

A 1.5-second slow-threshold on /portfolio is a sane starting point. Image-heavy galleries will hover near that on a slow mobile connection; tighten the threshold to 2.0 seconds if you want fewer false positives, or set it to 1.0 second if you care more about catching the day a single gallery gets heavy.

Question 3

Does it work with Pixieset, Pic-Time, and ShootProof?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SiteGuardian probes the front-end URL, which works the same way regardless of the gallery provider. Add a separate monitor for any /gallery URL you want watched; each runs its own cadence.

Question 4

Will I be alerted when a vendor link on my site goes dead?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Add the vendor URLs to the broken-link watch (a separate weekly cadence). SiteGuardian emails you one short sentence when one of them stops returning 200. Most photographers accumulate 5 to 20 broken vendor links a year; the weekly cadence catches them as they happen.

Question 5

Does it work on the Squarespace and Wix portfolios I see most often?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SiteGuardian pings the front-end URL the way a visitor does. It does not depend on the platform. See the Squarespace and Wix integration pages for the platform-specific copy.
