VitalSentinel tab

The VitalSentinel tab is in the Your site group of the popup sidebar. It shows a summary of the data that VitalSentinel has for the page that you have open. The other reports also show this data in the sections where it belongs.

• Sign in to the extension. See Sign in.
• The site must be a domain in one of the workspaces that you selected when you signed in.
• Offline mode must be off.

What the tab showsCopy Anchor Link

The tab shows one of these screens:

A site that is not monitoredCopy Anchor Link

The title says that the host is not monitored in VitalSentinel. Click Add with the host name to open the app. The app opens the add-domain flow with the host filled in. See Add a domain.

If you signed in with the wrong account, click Sign out next to "Wrong account?".

A monitored siteCopy Anchor Link

The line below the title shows the host and the path of the page, and when VitalSentinel made the data. Click Refresh to load new data from the app. Click Open in app to open the domain in the app.

The summary has a tile for each kind of data:

The values cover the last 90 days. If VitalSentinel has no data for the exact page, a tile can show the data of the whole domain.

A tile shows a message instead of values when there is no data. For example, "Not set up for this domain yet." means that the module is not set up for the domain. If the app took too long, click Try again in the tile.

The tab shows only the tiles that your sign-in can read. If the tab says "Some data needs more access", sign out and sign in again.

For the full history and the other modules, open the app. See Google Search Console, Indexing Monitoring, CrUX Monitoring and Web Analytics.

Watch this pageCopy Anchor Link

Watch this page adds the current page to Page Monitoring of its domain. VitalSentinel then checks the page on a schedule and tells you when its title, canonical, indexing, redirects or content changes. The button is on the VitalSentinel tab and on the Overview report.

1. Open the page that you want to watch.
2. Open the popup and click VitalSentinel in the sidebar.
3. Click Watch this page.

The chip Watched shows next to the button. The page is now in the list of watched pages in the app. See Pages.

The extension sends the address without the part after # and without tracking parameters such as utm_source and gclid.

If you did not verify the ownership of the domain, VitalSentinel does not add the page, and the message "The request did not go through. Try again." shows. Verify the domain in the app first, then click Watch this page again.

Stop watching a pageCopy Anchor Link

1. Open the page.
2. Open the popup and click VitalSentinel in the sidebar.
3. Click Stop watching.

VitalSentinel stops the checks of the page. To stop watching a page in the app, see Stop watching a page.

Who can watch pagesCopy Anchor Link

Only workspace owners and admins can add or remove watched pages. For a member, the button is disabled.

Each watched page counts toward the watched-page limit of your plan. If the workspace has no watched pages left, the extension shows "Watched-page limit reached". See Plans and limits.

If you stop watching a page in the app, the extension can show Watched for up to one hour. Click Refresh to load the current state.
