Tracking changes in the HTML code of the page and the response time
-

-
Monitoring pages by groups
Who needs this functionality?
If you have a large team working on your project or if your software/server is unstable, if important for user experience, business logic, or SEO page behaviors may change, then this functionality is for you.
For instance, if you want an SEO-optimized landing page to never change, simply add the URL to the tracking list when you believe the page meets all your requirements. In case of any changes in the page's behavior or HTML content, we will send you a notification via messenger, and the change log will be displayed on the project page.
- Go to the 'Tracked URLs' page from the main page of your resource
- In the top right corner, click on '+ Add new URL'
- For mass adding of URLs, click on "Bulk add URLs" in the top right corner of the creation page.
- In the "Document URL" field, enter the path of the page you want to track.
Notice! To avoid unnecessary load, duplicate notifications, and confusion, we artificially limit the ability to duplicate the "Document URL." In this case, the unique key is "Document URL" + the User Agent you selected just below. In any case, if you specifically want to track the same URL but with different settings, such as response time in different locations, you can add "#anything" to the end of the URL.
-
Specify the User Agent (UA) with the headers you want to use to check the URL. Depending on the UA you choose, requests to the server will contain the following User Agent:
- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; 2-UAcomBot-Mobile/1.0; +https://2-ua.com/support/robots)
- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; 2-UAcomBot/1.0; +https://2-ua.com/support/robots)
-
Enable "Check W3C" if you want us to verify the URL for compliance with W3C standards. You will have the opportunity to view reports for specific URLs as well as for the entire site.
Information about the frequency of checks and notifications is located on the main page in the "Frequently Asked Questions -> What we are checking" section
-
Enable "Check Google Page Speed" if you want us to verify the URL for compliance with
Google Page Speed standards. You will have the opportunity to view reports for specific URLs as well as for the entire site.
Information about the frequency of checks and notifications is located on the main page in the "Frequently Asked Questions -> What we are checking" section
- In the dropdown list "Specify the expected http status," indicate the expected HTTP status response for the URL. If it changes during the check, we will send you notifications if configured for the site. For HTTP statuses that imply a redirect, specify in the opened field the address of the page to which this redirect should occur. If the page address (Location) changes, we will send you a notification.
- Specify the threshold, in seconds, in the "Threshold, sec." field. If the response time exceeds the specified value, we will send you a notification.
-
Choose from the dropdown list "Location of the checking server" the server that is closest to your website's server to obtain the most accurate response time for your resource.
Notice! Since network issues and delays cannot be ruled out, the actual response delay time for the site will be slightly lower than what we display. The dynamics of changes in the URL response time will always be important for you.
Currently available server locations:
- FI Helsinki
- US Hillsboro

- In the "Page text regx" field, you can specify regular expressions that will allow you to track the content of specific content on the site.
- For example, for online stores, using a regular expression, you can monitor changes in the product price.
- Before saving the settings, press the "preview" button to see how our service perceives the specified URL.
After some time, following the save and accumulation of data, in the "Tracked URLs" section, you will see summarized information for all tracked URLs.
