Why agencies choose SiteBrief over Oh Dear
Oh Dear is great at monitoring. Agencies need monitoring plus reporting, AI insights, and automated fixes.
AI that explains and fixes issues
Oh Dear detects problems and sends alerts. SiteBrief goes further — AI explains what broke and why, generates a pull request with the fix, and opens it on GitHub or GitLab for your review.
White-label PDF reports for clients
Oh Dear has no client reporting. SiteBrief generates branded PDF reports with uptime, PageSpeed, SSL, security headers, and an AI summary — automatically every month, ready to forward.
PageSpeed & Core Web Vitals
Oh Dear focuses on availability. SiteBrief also tracks LCP, CLS, INP, and TTFB over time — and alerts you when performance drops below your thresholds.
Google Search Console built in
See GSC clicks, impressions, CTR, and average position directly on each site page. AI reads the data and surfaces what matters — no tab-switching between tools.
