New features, improvements, and fixes — shipped regularly.
New interactive demo at /demo. Browse a simulated agency dashboard with 5 sites, click any site to see its uptime chart, response sparklines, recent checks, activity log and PageSpeed score — no account required. Added "Live demo" to the hero and footer.
Owners can now limit each team member's access to a specific subset of sites. In Team settings, click the globe icon next to any member → check the sites they should see. Leave all unchecked to keep full access. Restricted members only see their assigned sites in the dashboard and cannot open others.
When a site goes down, SiteBrief automatically runs a 4-layer connection diagnostic: DNS resolution (with Cloudflare + Google cross-check), TCP connection, TLS handshake, and HTTP request. Results appear on the site detail page under "Network Diagnostics" with a verdict banner explaining exactly which layer failed and why.
Every action on a site is now logged: manual checks, settings updates, pausing/unpausing, client report sends, and team invites. The log appears on each site detail page showing actor, action, and timestamp for the last 30 days.
SiteBrief now takes a daily snapshot of A, AAAA, NS, and MX records for all HTTP sites. When a change is detected, you get an email with a Before/After table showing exactly which records changed. Useful for catching unauthorised DNS changes, CDN migrations, and propagation issues.
Multi-location checks now use up to 14 global nodes (up from 6). The results panel groups locations by continent — Americas, Europe, Asia, Oceania, Africa — with per-region mini badges in the summary bar. The automatic hourly check uses 10 nodes; manual re-checks use all 14.
DevLab is a new section that surfaces all detected problems across your sites — security header gaps, SEO issues, WP_DEBUG on production, PageSpeed cache problems — and lets you fix them with one click. Connect your GitHub or GitLab repo, preview exactly what will change (file, value, confidence score), and open a pull request / merge request for your review. Nothing merges automatically. Supports netlify.toml, .htaccess, nginx.conf, Next.js App Router, plain HTML, wp-config.php. Multi-page SEO crawl covers up to 10 sub-pages per site. Includes rollback — close the PR from DevLab if you change your mind.
Two new performance metrics on every site detail page: APDEX score (industry-standard satisfaction index based on your response time threshold) and Error rate — percentage of checks returning 4xx/5xx or down status over the last 7 days. Both available on all plans.
Agency plan now includes full white-label status pages: your brand color as the accent stripe, your logo in the header, custom CSS injection for complete visual control, and a custom favicon and Open Graph image pulled from your logo. Clients see your brand everywhere — zero SiteBrief identity.
Full WordPress Coding Standards compliance: inline JS moved to wp_add_inline_script, all strings wrapped for translation, output escaped with esc_html/wp_kses_post, database queries use $wpdb->prepare(). Plugin assets now load only on the settings page.
Embed a branded free-audit form on your agency website. Visitors enter their URL and email, receive a full audit report, and their contact is saved to your dashboard as a lead. Zero branding — looks like your own tool.
Expanded from 7 basic checks to a full 39-point SEO audit: on-page content, Open Graph, Twitter Card, crawlability, performance headers, code quality, heading hierarchy, mixed content, HSTS, canonical self-reference, Core Web Vitals integration, and optional keyword analysis. Every failed check shows a severity level (Critical / Warning / Info) and a specific "How to fix" instruction.
New public tools at /ssl-checker and /pagespeed-checker — no account required. Check any site's SSL certificate details (issuer, expiry, SANs) or get a full Core Web Vitals breakdown (mobile + desktop) instantly.
Added /compare/uptimerobot and /compare/better-stack — detailed feature-by-feature comparisons showing where SiteBrief stands out (uptime monitoring, status pages, agency white-labelling, pricing).
Upload your agency logo in Settings and it will appear on all generated PDF reports — fully white-label.
Generate white-label PDF reports for your clients directly from the Reports page. Choose sites and period (7 / 30 / 90 days), download instantly.
The dashboard now works on mobile — slide-in navigation drawer with full menu access.
SiteBrief now has a free tier — monitor up to 3 sites forever, no credit card required. Upgrade anytime from Settings.
New users now see a 3-step getting started checklist on the dashboard: add a site, connect an alert channel, enable your status page.
Added full Privacy Policy (/privacy) and Terms of Service (/terms). All data stored in EU (Ireland, eu-west-1).
Complete visual overhaul — gradient hero, SVG icons replacing emojis, scroll-reveal animations, polished sidebar with active state indicator.
SiteBrief now captures a screenshot of your site the moment it goes down and attaches it to the alert email.
Create on-call schedules with daily or weekly rotation. The current on-call member receives alerts alongside the account owner.
Visitors can subscribe to your public status page and receive email alerts on incidents. Double opt-in with unsubscribe link in every email.
Create and manage incidents directly from the dashboard. Severity levels: Minor, Major, Maintenance. Shown on your public status page.
Enable broken link scanning per site. SiteBrief crawls your homepage and internal pages, reports 4xx/5xx links with source page.
Schedule one-off, daily, or weekly maintenance windows. Monitoring checks are skipped during windows — no false alerts.
Optionally protect your public status page with a password — useful for internal or client-specific status pages.
Check if your sites appear on email or web blacklists. Results shown on the site detail page with last checked date.
Verify downtime from multiple geographic regions before alerting — reduces false positives from regional outages.
Connect SiteBrief to your team's tools. All integrations fire for every site automatically — no per-site setup needed.
SiteBrief goes live. HTTP/HTTPS uptime monitoring, SSL certificate tracking, domain expiry, PageSpeed scores, public status pages, and email alerts.
