Features & Monitoring

What types of monitoring does Site Qwality offer?

Site Qwality provides comprehensive monitoring including:

  • Uptime Monitoring: Real-time website availability checks
  • Multi-Location Monitoring: Global checkpoints for accurate uptime data
  • Cron Job Monitoring: Automated task monitoring
  • SSL/TLS Monitoring: Certificate expiration and security monitoring
  • Domain Monitoring: Domain availability and expiration alerts

How often does Site Qwality check my website?

Check frequencies are customizable based on your needs. You can set intervals from every minute to longer periods depending on your monitoring requirements. Our multi-location monitoring allows you to set different check frequencies for different times of day or days of the week.

What is keyword monitoring and why do I need it?

Keyword monitoring is an advanced security feature that checks for specific words or phrases on your website. This helps detect website hijacking, unauthorized content changes, or malicious redirects. It's crucial for maintaining customer trust and preventing fraud.

How does multi-location monitoring work?

Our multi-location monitoring uses a global network of monitoring nodes to check your website from different geographical locations. Each monitoring point has a unique IP address, and you can set custom alert conditions (like receiving notifications only when multiple locations detect an issue) to eliminate false alarms.

Alerts & Notifications

How will I be notified when my website goes down?

Site Qwality offers multiple notification methods:

  • Email: Instant email alerts with detailed error information
  • SMS: Text message alerts (included in paid plans)
  • Slack: Direct integration with your Slack channels
  • Webhooks: Custom endpoints for automated workflows

All alerts include specific error codes and diagnostic information to help you resolve issues quickly.

Can I customize my alert settings?

Absolutely! You can set custom alert thresholds, choose notification methods, configure escalation procedures, and set time-based rules. For multi-location monitoring, you can require multiple locations to confirm an issue before triggering alerts.

What information is included in downtime alerts?

Our alerts include specific error codes, response times, affected locations, and detailed diagnostic information. This helps you quickly identify and resolve issues without guesswork.

Pricing & Plans

How is Site Qwality's pricing different from competitors?

Unlike traditional monitoring services, Site Qwality offers transparent pricing with NO feature restrictions based on subscription levels. All features are available at every pricing tier. Our pricing scales based on the number of monitors you need, not feature access. This means you get SSL monitoring, keyword searches, multi-location checks, and API access whether you're on our free plan or enterprise plan.

What's included in each pricing tier?

All plans include the same features: SSL checks, domain expiration reminders, keyword searches, error code diagnosis, and live customer support. The difference is in capacity:

  • Starter (Free): 1-10 monitors, 1 user
  • Basic ($10/month): 11-49 monitors, 50 SMS, 3 users
  • Pro ($25/month): 50-99 monitors, 100 SMS, 5 users
  • Advanced ($50/month): 100-249 monitors, 200 SMS, 10 users
  • Commercial ($100/month): 250-499 monitors, 300 SMS, 25 users
  • Enterprise ($150+/month): 500+ monitors, 400+ SMS, unlimited users

Is there a setup fee or long-term contract?

No setup fees and no long-term contracts required. Our pricing is month-to-month, and you can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time. We believe in earning your business through great service, not locking you into contracts.

Does Site Qwality offer API access?

Yes! Our RESTful API is available to all users and allows you to create, read, update, and delete monitors programmatically. You can integrate monitoring into your deployment pipelines, build custom dashboards, or automate monitor management. Check out our API documentation for details.

How do webhooks work?

Webhooks allow you to receive real-time notifications at custom endpoints. You can set up webhooks to trigger automated responses, update status pages, integrate with CI/CD pipelines, or connect with tools like Zapier or IFTTT. Our webhook system includes retry mechanisms and authentication for reliable delivery.

Can I integrate Site Qwality with Slack?

Absolutely! Our Slack integration delivers alerts directly to your team channels, enables incident management workflows, and supports automated incident creation. You can configure custom alert triggers and collaborate in real-time when issues arise.

Technical Questions

What is cron job monitoring?

Cron job monitoring tracks your scheduled automated tasks to ensure they run as expected. It's essential for system administrators, developers, and DevOps teams who rely on scripts, backups, data processing, or other automated processes. Site Qwality alerts you immediately if a cron job fails or doesn't run on schedule.

How reliable is Site Qwality's monitoring infrastructure?

Site Qwality is built on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure, ensuring exceptional reliability and performance. Our global network of monitoring nodes provides redundancy and accurate uptime measurements from multiple locations worldwide.

Do I need to whitelist Site Qwality's IP addresses?

Each of our monitoring locations uses unique IP addresses, making it easy to whitelist our service if your website has security restrictions or geo-blocking. We provide a list of all monitoring IPs in your dashboard for easy configuration.

Can Site Qwality monitor password-protected or internal websites?

Yes, Site Qwality can monitor websites that require authentication or are behind firewalls. You can configure HTTP authentication, custom headers, and whitelist our monitoring IPs to ensure comprehensive monitoring of all your web properties.
