We ship continuously. Here's a running log of the features, improvements, and fixes that made it into production.
v2.9October 2026
Lookalike domains, checks at set times & visual area alerts
Find and watch typosquats of your brand, check pages at the exact times you choose, get alerts only when a chosen area of the page changes, and opt in to an email when a monitor has been failing for a while.
NewLookalike Domain Finder - a free tool that checks common typo and lookalike versions of your domain and reports which are registered, with their registration dates and mail records, no sign-up needed. That takes the free toolkit to 21 tools.
NewWatch a lookalike domain in one click - Monitor this on the finder opens the add-monitor form already set up for it: checked every day including weekends, every change type alerted, and starter alert words such as login and password. You can change anything before saving.
NewCheck at set times - on Business and Enterprise, a monitor can run at the times you pick, for example 09:00 and 17:00, instead of every interval, and check hours can hold a second window on the same days.
NewVisual area monitoring compares the region you draw on every check and records a change only when the share of changed pixels meets your threshold. Text edits outside the region no longer alert. Any paid render it needs comes from your plan's render allowance.
NewOptional monitor problem emails - on the Notifications page each member can ask to be emailed when a monitor has been failing for 24 hours or 3 days, and, if they choose, again when it is working. Off by default.
ImprovedWhen a site refuses a new monitor's first visit, SiteGauge now retries with a browser render on a widening schedule, counted against your render allowance, and shows a calm Blocked state in the meantime instead of a red error.
ImprovedClicking an item under What changed now scrolls the screenshot to it and highlights it.
FixedPages that only show a Loading screen until their scripts run are now captured with a browser render instead of failing every check.
FixedVery tall pages capture top to bottom again, and a capture that comes back blank below the first screen is retried and never used as the comparison image.
v2.8September 2026
Bulk changes, calmer monitor health & custom check days
Change or move many monitors at once, see a calm Retrying state before anything needs you, and on Business plans pick the exact days a monitor runs.
NewChange the check frequency of many monitors at once from the Monitors list, with an estimate of the monthly checks before and after.
NewMove several monitors to another workspace in one step, together with their full history.
NewPick check days per monitor on Business and Enterprise, for example Monday, Wednesday and Friday only. Skip weekends and every day stay available on every plan.
ImprovedCalmer monitor health - a failing monitor shows an amber Retrying state while SiteGauge keeps trying and turns to Needs attention after seven days, with the reason in plain words and a dashboard card listing what needs you.
ImprovedBulk import now saves the same monitor settings as adding a single page, instead of quietly dropping most of them.
ImprovedEvery change carries one importance score and label, the same in the app, emails, digests and PDF reports.
ImprovedThe dashboard follows your computer's light or dark setting, and the Dark mode switch still lets you choose.
FixedA check is no longer charged when the site never answered.
FixedAn ignore rule can no longer empty the page it is meant to tidy.
v2.7September 2026
Twenty free tools, zero-config monitor setup & clearer monitor health
Paste a URL and let AI configure the monitor for you, check structured data with the new schema tool, and see at a glance when a page is blocked or a certificate has expired.
NewQuick add - paste a URL and SiteGauge suggests what to watch on it, so a new monitor is one click instead of a form.
NewSchema Markup Checker - a free tool that validates the JSON-LD structured data on any public page, no sign-up needed. That takes the free toolkit to 20 tools.
NewDeeper comparison and alternatives research pages, each fact re-verified against the competitor's own live pricing and docs.
ImprovedClearer monitor health - a monitor whose page is shielded by bot protection, or whose TLS certificate has expired, now says so on the card instead of looking like an ordinary failure.
ImprovedPersonal alert rules are now scoped to the workspace they were created in, so a catch-all rule in one client workspace no longer fires for another client's monitors.
ImprovedMonitors never run faster than your plan allows, and a plan change now takes effect at the next check without overwriting the cadence you chose.
ImprovedIf a subscription lapses, the workspace drops to Free and keeps checking at the free cadence instead of going dark.
FixedPages that reveal their content with scroll animations no longer capture as blank sections - the capture step now forces that content visible before the screenshot.
FixedBulk invites now report exactly which invitations were sent and which failed, instead of reporting success for the whole batch.
FixedFixed a configuration fault that could hold back digest and summary emails, and re-sent the batches it delayed.
Send alerts to any channel, keep tamper-evident records for compliance, monitor critical pages as often as every two minutes, and decide exactly when checks run.
NewRoute any alert to the channels you choose - keyword and smart alert rules can now notify Slack, Teams, a webhook or SMS as well as email, with a channel picker on each rule.
NewTamper-evident evidence exports - download a cryptographically signed manifest of a page's captured snapshots, each with a SHA-256 content hash, for compliance and legal records.
NewLegal hold - freeze a single monitor's or your whole workspace's snapshots so they're exempt from automatic retention deletion.
NewFaster, scheduled monitoring - check critical pages as often as every 2 minutes, and restrict a monitor to specific days and hours (for example weekday market hours) so checks run only when they matter.
NewA long-term 6-year compliance archive is now available as an add-on for regulated teams that need to keep snapshots well beyond the standard window.
ImprovedRead-only team members - invite viewers who can see monitors and changes but can't edit them, and billing is now limited to account owners and admins.
ImprovedUpgrading a plan is now one click, while downgrades route through the billing portal to prevent accidental plan changes.
FixedDocument monitoring now correctly detects changes to PDFs and other non-HTML files instead of skipping them.
FixedWe now flag when a target page is shielded by a bot-protection wall (Cloudflare, Imperva and similar) rather than silently reporting no change.
FixedThe dashboard now shows each monitor's real status and check frequency - some active monitors were being mislabelled as paused.
v2.5June 2026
Mobile diffs, sensitivity controls & simpler pricing
Watch pages on mobile as well as desktop, tune exactly how much change is worth an alert, and a clearer, more predictable check-based pricing model.
NewMulti-viewport monitoring - capture and compare both a desktop and a mobile rendering of a page, with a Desktop/Mobile toggle on the change view.
NewConfigurable change sensitivity (Low / Medium / High) per monitor - decide how large a content change has to be before it alerts you.
NewNew check-based pricing with a predictable hard cap - monitors simply pause when you reach your monthly allowance instead of forcing an upgrade or a surprise bill, with usage warnings at 80%, 95% and 100%.
NewConfigurable history retention per workspace, up to a long-term compliance window.
New@mentions in change comments now push to Slack and Teams, not just email.
ImprovedFAQs across the site are now collapsible accordions, and use-case, industry and pricing pages got a faster, cleaner refresh.
ImprovedThe free Sitemap Viewer now lists every child sitemap (not just the first 30), and each free tool can hand its result straight into a monitor.
v2.4May 2026
Smarter AI summaries & Slack threads
Change summaries now explain why a change matters, not just what changed - and they thread straight into Slack.
NewAI summaries now classify each change by significance (high / medium / low) so you can triage at a glance.
NewSlack alerts post as threaded replies on the monitor's channel, keeping each page's history in one place.
ImprovedDiff view collapses unchanged regions by default - jump straight to what moved.
FixedFixed duplicate alerts when a page flickered between two states within a single check window.
v2.3April 2026
Team workspaces & digest emails
Invite your team, share monitors, and roll noisy pages into a single daily digest.
NewShared workspaces - invite teammates and assign monitors per person or team.
NewDaily and weekly digest emails batch low-priority changes into one tidy summary.
ImprovedFaster crawl scheduling - hourly monitors now fire within 90 seconds of their slot.
FixedResolved a timezone bug that shifted digest send times by an hour during DST.
v2.2March 2026
Free developer tools & public API
Eight free utilities for quick checks, plus a documented REST API for everything else.
NewLaunched eight free tools: uptime checker, meta-tag analyzer, redirect checker, robots.txt checker, sitemap viewer, HTTP header checker, HTML diff, and word count.
NewPublic REST API - create and manage monitors and pull change data programmatically.
ImprovedJavaScript-rendered pages are now fully supported on every plan.
v2.1February 2026
Visual diffing & faster checks
See exactly what moved on the page, side by side.
NewVisual diff - screenshot comparison with highlighted change regions alongside the text diff.
ImprovedReduced average check latency by 40% with a rebuilt crawl pipeline.
FixedFixed false positives caused by rotating ad slots and session IDs.
