Introduction
Your website's revenue insurance - find out in hours, not weeks, when something breaks your visibility, traffic, or revenue.
VitalSentinel is your website's revenue insurance. Find out in hours - not weeks - when something breaks your visibility, traffic, or revenue.
Most teams don't discover that their search rankings dropped, their analytics stopped reporting, or their checkout broke until days or weeks after the damage is done. VitalSentinel watches the things that quietly cost you money and tells you the moment they change, so you can fix the leak before it shows up in next quarter's numbers.
Why VitalSentinel?
Protect Visibility
Catch indexing drops, robots.txt mistakes, search ranking declines, and crawlability regressions before Google does - the issues that quietly erase your organic traffic.
Protect Traffic
Real user monitoring, Core Web Vitals, uptime, SSL, and analytics in one place. Know within hours when a deployment, outage, or performance regression starts pushing visitors away.
Protect Revenue
E-commerce tracking, conversion analytics, error monitoring, and engagement insights connect technical health to the metrics that actually pay the bills.
What Does VitalSentinel Monitor?
VitalSentinel combines every signal that affects your website's revenue into one unified dashboard - from Core Web Vitals and uptime to indexing, search performance, analytics, and reports.
RUM Monitoring
Captures Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP, TTFB, FCP), user engagement, and JavaScript errors directly from your visitors' browsers. Gives you insight into how real users experience your website across different devices, locations, and network conditions. Data is collected in real time, so you can identify performance issues as they happen and track improvements over time.
CrUX Monitoring
Accesses Chrome User Experience Report data to show how real Chrome users experience your website based on aggregated field data from Google. This is the same data Google uses to evaluate your site for ranking purposes. Compare your CrUX scores against your RUM data to get a complete picture of your performance.
Synthetic Monitoring
Runs Lighthouse tests on a schedule you set to audit your website's performance, accessibility, SEO, and best practices from a controlled environment. Unlike RUM, synthetic tests provide consistent baseline measurements without variability from user devices or networks. Use it to benchmark changes before and after deployments.
Uptime Monitoring
Checks your website availability around the clock and alerts you the moment something goes wrong. Checks run every minute on any paid plan and every 5 minutes on the Free plan, with SSL certificate expiration tracking and response time history. Get instant notifications so you can respond to outages before your users notice.
Robots.txt Monitoring
Validates your robots.txt file and detects changes that could impact how search engines crawl your website. Receive alerts when modifications are detected, helping you prevent accidental blocking of important pages. Ensures your crawl directives remain consistent and intentional.
Site Health Monitoring
Checks a sample of your pages all day with the VitalSentinel crawler. It tells you when a release breaks indexing, redirects, or rendering. It also gives your site a Health score from 0 to 100. This module needs a verified domain.
Page Monitoring
Watches the pages that you select. It tells you when a title, a redirect, a noindex, or any element on the page changes. This module needs a verified domain.
Sitemap Monitoring
Reads your sitemaps every day. It shows which URLs were added or removed, and which removed URLs still get traffic. It starts automatically for every domain.
Indexing Monitoring
Automatically inspects your sitemap URLs using Google Search Console's URL Inspection API and displays their indexing status. View how many pages are indexed, crawled but not indexed, or discovered but not indexed, with a timeline showing trends. Each URL shows detailed inspection data including coverage state, last crawl time, canonical URLs, and rich results validation.
Server Log Monitoring
Reads your server's access logs, through a Cloudflare Worker or log files collected over SFTP, FTPS, S3, R2 or Google Cloud Storage, to show which search engine and AI crawlers hit your site and how your server answered them. Verifies each bot against the IP ranges its vendor publishes so fake Googlebots are flagged, measures how much of your crawl budget goes to errors, redirects and parameterized URLs, and joins crawl data with Search Console, Web Analytics, RUM and your sitemap.
Web Analytics
Provides privacy-focused website analytics that uses no cookies in its default storage mode. Includes automatic e-commerce tracking and custom event tracking for business-specific metrics. Understand your traffic sources, user behavior, and conversion paths without compromising visitor privacy.
Google Search Console
Integrates with Google Search Console to provide keyword rankings, search performance data, and indexing insights. Track your organic search visibility, monitor click-through rates, and identify which queries drive traffic to your site. All your search data in one place alongside your other metrics.
