Site Watch
We check your website every night. The morning something breaks, you get an email telling you what broke and why it matters. The rest of the time you hear nothing, because nothing happened.
Somebody in your business is supposed to be checking that the website still passes the things it is legally required to pass. In practice nobody is, because it is a tedious job with no deadline attached, and it loses every time it competes with work that has a customer waiting at the end of it.
So it does not get done. Then a plugin updates itself, or a developer ships a change on a Friday, or a certificate expires, and the site quietly stops passing. Nothing visible happens. No alarm goes off. It just sits there failing until the day somebody who is not on your side notices, and by then it is a complaint rather than a maintenance job.
What gets checked, every night
Nine groups, the same engine behind the free tools on this site. Not a single score out of a hundred, which tells you nothing you can act on, but named checks that either pass or do not.
| Area | What a failure here actually costs you |
|---|---|
| Accessibility | The one with a legal deadline attached. AODA, the Accessible Canada Act, and in the United States ADA Title III, where website cases are filed in volume. |
| Security headers | The difference between a browser blocking an injected script and running it. Missing headers are also the first thing a penetration report flags. |
| Email spoofing | SPF and DMARC records. Without them anybody can send mail that appears to come from your domain, and your real mail starts landing in spam. |
| SEO fundamentals | Titles, descriptions, canonicals. Quiet failures that cost you rankings without ever showing up as an error. |
| AI visibility | Whether answer engines can read and cite you, which is where a growing share of searches now ends. |
| Mobile rendering | A deleted viewport tag renders your site zoomed out on every phone, and Google ranks it accordingly. |
| Images | Missing alt text and unsized images, which hit both accessibility and layout stability. |
| Social previews | What your link looks like when somebody shares it. Broken previews halve the click-through on work you already paid for. |
| Response and status | Whether the page returns what it should, and how long it took. |
What lands in your inbox
Only differences. The engine keeps last night's result for every check and compares. An alert is written when something that used to pass has started failing, which means your inbox stays empty until it matters.
- The morning it breaks, not at the end of the month. A regression found overnight is emailed that morning.
- What changed, in plain words, with the specific check that moved and what a failure there exposes you to.
- Your compliance calendar alongside it, so a deadline that applies to your sector arrives in the same place as your site's own problems.
- Nothing at all on a quiet night. A monitoring service that emails you daily to say everything is fine has trained you to ignore it by the second week.
What it costs
For comparison, because you should check: monitoring services that watch accessibility alone run from roughly $39 to $299 US a month. This watches nine areas, and it is priced in Canadian dollars.

What this is not
Worth being straight about, because the limits are where people get sold things that do not work.
- It is not a compliance certificate. No automated tool can issue one, and any vendor offering you a badge that makes you legally compliant is selling you a feeling. What you get is evidence that you are checking, which is a genuinely useful thing to hold.
- It is not an accessibility overlay. Those are the widgets that claim to fix your site with one line of JavaScript. They do not, and businesses using them have been sued anyway. That is a separate page.
- It does not fix anything. It tells you, accurately and early. Fixing is either your developer's job or a piece of work you can hire us for separately, and keeping those two things apart is deliberate.
- It is not legal advice. It is monitoring, against published standards, with the sources named.
Questions
What exactly happens every night?
A server fetches your site, reads the HTML it actually serves, and looks up your public DNS records. It then runs the same nine groups of checks the free tools on this site run, compares every result against the night before, and writes an alert only where something that used to pass has started failing. If nothing changed, you hear nothing. Silence is the product working.
Will this catch everything?
No, and you should be suspicious of anyone who says otherwise. Automated checks catch the mechanical failures: a missing alt attribute, an expired header, a broken DMARC record, a viewport tag someone deleted. They cannot judge whether your alt text is useful, whether your error messages make sense, or whether a blind customer can actually finish your checkout. Those need a human, and that is a separate piece of work. What nightly monitoring does is make sure the things you already fixed stay fixed.
Why does it matter that it runs at night?
Because the failures that cost you money are the ones nobody introduced on purpose. A developer ships a change on Friday, a plugin updates itself, a certificate expires, a DNS record gets edited by somebody at your registrar. Nobody files a ticket saying "I have just broken your accessibility compliance." It simply stops passing, and it stays broken until somebody checks. The whole point is that the somebody is not you.
Is this the same as the free monthly alerts?
No. Compliance Watch is free, stays free, and tells you about regulations changing. Site Watch is paid and tells you about your own website changing. You can have one without the other. Most people should start with the free one.
What if my site is already perfect?
Then your first report says so, and you will have a dated record proving it, which is worth having the day somebody complains. Sites do not stay perfect on their own though, because nobody leaves a website alone for a year.
Can I cancel?
Any time, and it stops at the end of the month you have paid for. There is no contract and no cancellation call to sit through.
