Quick Start Guide

Step 1: Create Your Account

If you haven't already, sign up for a free CheckSite account. You'll get access to monitor up to 3 websites with daily check frequency on the free plan.

Step 2: Add Your First Website Monitor

Once you're logged in:

1. Click the "Add New Monitor" button on your dashboard
2. Enter the URL of the website you want to monitor
3. CheckSite will automatically fetch the page and detect its title
4. Choose your notification preferences (email is enabled by default)
5. Click "Create Monitor"

Step 3: Understanding Check Frequencies

CheckSite offers different monitoring frequencies based on your plan:

• Free Plan: Daily checks (every 24 hours) - 3 monitors
• Pro Plan: Every hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, or daily - 20 monitors

You can adjust the frequency for each monitor in its settings page.

Step 4: Set Up Notifications

By default, you'll receive email notifications when changes are detected. You can:

• Toggle email notifications on/off for each monitor
• Add Telegram, Slack, Discord, or Teams notifications (Pro plan)
• Set up webhook notifications for custom integrations (Pro plan)

Step 5: Monitor Your First Change

Once your monitor is active, CheckSite will check your website according to the frequency you've set. When a change is detected, you'll receive a notification with:

• The website that changed
• When the change was detected
• A smart summary that explains what changed and why it matters (all plans)
• A link to view your monitor dashboard
