Monitoring and site health

Health

Uptime and response time are checked every five minutes. Core Web Vitals come from the field data Google publishes for your pages where it exists, and from a lab measurement where it does not.

The site audit

A weekly crawl of your own pages, checking the things that stop a page ranking or rendering: titles, meta descriptions, headings, images without alternative text, broken links, redirect chains and status codes.

It runs weekly rather than daily because these change when somebody deploys, not overnight, and it uses at most a quarter of your monthly page allowance so a deliberate run always has budget left.

Crawlers

Which AI and search crawlers have read your site, when, and which pages. Useful for confirming that a robots.txt change did what you meant, and for seeing whether the assistants that cite you have actually visited.
