Visual Monitoring
Pixel-level diffs across full-page screenshots, with the changed regions highlighted and the source URL attached to every alert.
- Full page, folds or an area
- Changed regions marked
- Thresholds from any change to 50%
Before and after
See exactly what moved, side by side.
Every check keeps a screenshot. When the page looks different, the check shows before and after next to each other, or on a slider, with the changed regions marked and a short AI summary of what changed.
- Slide between before and after, or view them side by side
- Every screenshot stays in the task’s history
What to compare
The whole page, the first screen, or just the part that matters.
Choose Screen: the full page, the first, second or third screen-height, the first three together, or an area you draw on the preview. Changes outside an area are ignored.
- Draw the area straight on the page preview
- Hide parts that always change, such as a rotating banner
How much counts
Decide how big a change must be, or describe it in words.
Change threshold sets how much of the captured area must change: any visible difference, or 1%, 10%, 25% or 50%. Add a Notify me when rule instead, and every visible change is read against it, so a large change that doesn’t match stays quiet.
Examples
When how it looks is the news.
What people watch visually, and the kind of alert that comes back. Alerts go to the channels you switch on for the task.
