Launched my mvp of web monitoring tool - sitestability

The tool monitors webpage and alerts the user if it detects if the site is down. Besides the usual http status codes it also runs a hourly check against major visual changes and alerts users if it is detected (greater than 50% but that value may change)

Last week one of our wordpress sites was hacked and random code was inserted and main page was changed to say under maintanence but still up and running. We had no idea how long it had been down and neither did the marketing agency in charge of it. So I created http://sitestability.com

Would love feedback - I’m looking to add more features and appreciate to find out what you would look for in such tool.

SMS and other integrations are coming soon. My tool has no limits on number of emails or users to receive alerts nor will it for sms.

The idea of my tool is to set it and forget it. It’s not meant to be logged into constantly to view stats. Instead it’s meant for you to go about your day and know that the tool will alert and notify you of issues detected.

Try it out 14 day free trial no credit card required. I would love to hear what features or extras you would want in such tool and if it would be beneficial to you.

If these were included I'd be more likely to try the service

  • There was no clear indication of any customer support or assistance features, such as live chat or 24/7 customer service.
  • The website could have provided a video tutorial or demonstration of how the monitoring system works to provide clearer understanding.
  • There was no mention of how this service integrates with other platforms, should potentially be information about compatibility and integrations.

Thanks for feedback and yes you’re right a lot of this is missing because I wanted to launch the MVP versions. Regarding #3 I can tell you there is no integration needed. The system does not integrate with anything and there’s nothing to install on your end. Regarding the support and tutorial or in depth explanation those are all things I am working on.

No worries! The feedback was generated using a tool I built to help increase conversions rates. If you want overall impression, more feedback and UX review dm me.
