💡 Why Website Health Alerts Matter
Your website is your online heartbeat and when it stops, visitors notice before you do.
A slow, broken, or offline site not only hurts your business but also reduces how search engines and AI tools trust your domain.
SiteSignal Alerts act like an early-warning system.
They instantly notify you when something goes wrong, so you can fix it before users, Google, or ChatGPT notice the issue.
🧠 What SiteSignal Alerts Actually Monitor
| Area | What It Checks | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Uptime | Is your site online and responding? | Prevents lost traffic and revenue. |
| Response Speed | How fast your pages load. | Slow sites drive users and AIs away. |
| SSL Health | Is your certificate valid and secure? | Avoids browser “Not Secure” warnings. |
| WordPress Core & Plugins | Are updates or vulnerabilities detected? | Reduces security risks. |
| AI Visibility Changes | Are ChatGPT or Gemini still citing you? | Maintains brand trust in AI search. |
You decide what’s most important, SiteSignal handles the rest automatically.
