What Does VitalSentinel Monitor?

VitalSentinel combines multiple monitoring capabilities into a single unified dashboard.

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, allowing you to 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 on-demand Lighthouse tests to audit your website's performance, accessibility, 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

Continuously checks your website availability around the clock and alerts you the moment something goes wrong. Supports configurable check intervals from 30 seconds to 5 minutes, 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.

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, mobile usability, and rich results validation.

Web Analytics

Provides privacy-focused, cookie-free website analytics with GDPR-compliant data collection. 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.

Google Analytics

Connects with Google Analytics 4 to bring your traffic and audience data into a unified dashboard. View your GA4 metrics alongside performance and SEO data for a complete picture of your website's health. No need to switch between multiple tools to understand your site.
