Category scores
Track Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices and SEO separately instead of hiding everything behind one vague health score.
Website change monitoring
Website change monitoring for SEO and performance
Track the pages that should not quietly break after releases, content edits or script changes.
Monitor selected URLs for SEO, performance and technical changes after releases, content edits or script updates. Site Tracker shows what changed, which issues are new or recurring, and how each important page is moving over time.

What Site Tracker actually monitors
The tracker is not a generic crawler. It follows selected pages and keeps the signals that explain whether a page became better, worse or simply changed.
Performance metrics
Follow LCP, CLS, TBT, page weight, requests and resource growth for the selected device.
Latest check signals
Review critical, warning and passed signals with evidence, affected areas and practical context.
Change history
See first vs latest check, recurring issues, regressions, resolved problems and event streams over a selected period.
Technical snapshot
Inspect status code, canonical, noindex, headings, scripts, images and page resource composition.
Issue matrix
Understand when each issue appeared, disappeared, returned or stayed open across checks.
SEO changes Site Tracker can help you catch
Use repeated checks to spot the SEO and performance signals that often shift after templates, plugins, content workflows or deploys change a page.
Title and meta description changes
Catch missing, duplicated or rewritten titles and descriptions before important pages drift away from their intended search snippet.
Canonical and indexability changes
See when canonical URLs, noindex directives or status codes change on pages that should stay indexable.
Heading structure movement
Track H1 and heading changes that can happen when content blocks, CMS templates or page builders are edited.
SEO score movement
Compare SEO category movement across checks instead of guessing whether a release improved or weakened a page.
Recurring technical issues
Separate new issues from long-running problems so teams can focus on the changes that matter now.
Changed and newly introduced issues
Review new, resolved and recurring findings across the issue history matrix for every selected URL.
Monitor important pages after a release
After a deployment, content update or script change, Site Tracker gives teams a focused way to verify the pages that matter most without running a full crawl every time.
Check selected URLs after deployment
Run a fresh check for landing pages, pricing pages, homepages or client URLs that should remain stable.
Compare against previous checks
Review score movement, page weight, resources, metadata and issue lifecycle against earlier snapshots.
Prioritize changed issues
Focus on new regressions and recurring problems instead of rereading the same static audit report.
Site Tracker vs one-time website audit
One-off checks are useful, but important pages keep changing. Site Tracker fills the gap between a single audit and basic uptime monitoring.
One-time website audit
- Best for understanding the current state of a page or site.
- Does not explain what changed after the next release or edit.
- Useful as a starting point before ongoing monitoring.
Site Tracker
- Monitors selected URLs repeatedly over time.
- Tracks SEO, performance, page weight, metadata and issue history.
- Highlights new, resolved and recurring issues after changes.
Uptime monitoring
- Shows whether a URL is reachable.
- Usually misses metadata, headings, page weight and SEO score movement.
- Does not explain technical quality regressions inside the page.
Real use cases
The strongest value appears after a page changes. Site Tracker turns repeated checks into a product story your team can act on.
Confirm a deploy did not slow the page down
Run a check after shipping code and compare it with the previous or baseline check to catch new JavaScript, heavier CSS or slower LCP.
Watch title, meta, canonical and indexability
Keep important URLs under review when editors, plugins or templates can change page metadata.
Group monitored URLs by project
Agencies and freelancers can keep landing pages, campaign pages and client homepages in separate tracker groups.
Separate new problems from old noise
The history view shows new, resolved, recurring and stable signals so a team can focus on what changed now.
From current report to evidence
The private tracker page is built around the questions teams ask after a check: what is weak, why did it happen, and what changed since the last snapshot?
Current report
Category scores make the result easier to read
Performance can need attention while Accessibility, Best Practices and SEO remain healthy. The report keeps those categories visible instead of mixing them into one number.
- Mobile and desktop views are separate.
- Critical, warning and passed signal counts stay visible.
- The main weak category is called out in plain language.
Issue history
The matrix shows the lifecycle of every issue
A static issue list cannot show whether a problem is new, recurring or fixed. The matrix maps each issue against each completed check.
- C means critical, W means warning, N means new.
- Resolved checks are visible as passed cells.
- Recurring issues are easy to spot across dates.
Change History explains what happened over time
The Change History page filters checks by date range, compares the first and latest completed check, highlights selected snapshots, and connects score movement with resource growth, issue lifecycle and important tracker events.
How teams use it week to week
Site Tracker is designed for repeated checks, not a one-off audit.
Create a tracker group
Group URLs by website, project, client, release or campaign.
Add selected URLs
Track only the pages that matter instead of crawling the whole site.
Run or schedule checks
Start a check manually after a change or let the selected frequency keep monitoring active pages.
Review the latest report
Use category scores, signals, evidence and technical snapshots to understand the current state.
Open change history
Compare checks, review recurring issues and confirm whether fixes stayed fixed.
Frequently asked questions
What is website change monitoring?
Website change monitoring tracks important URLs over time so teams can see when SEO, performance, metadata, page weight, headings, indexability or technical issues change after releases and content edits.
How is Site Tracker different from a one-time website audit?
A one-time audit shows the current state. Site Tracker keeps checking selected URLs, compares snapshots and highlights new, resolved and recurring issues so you can understand what changed later.
Can Site Tracker monitor SEO metadata changes?
Yes. Site Tracker helps you watch title, meta description, canonical, noindex/indexability, headings, status code and SEO score movement across repeated checks.
Can I use Site Tracker after website releases?
Yes. You can run checks after a deployment, content edit or script change to compare important pages against previous snapshots and catch regressions early.
Is Site Tracker an uptime monitoring tool?
No. Uptime monitoring tells you whether a URL responds. Site Tracker focuses on the quality of the page itself, including SEO, performance, page weight, metadata and issue lifecycle.
Does Site Tracker guarantee SEO rankings?
No. It helps detect technical, SEO and performance regressions, but it does not guarantee rankings, traffic or revenue growth.
