Know when it breaks. Understand why.

No. It reads and records. It never updates, deactivates, cleans or optimises anything – not even when it is sure what the cause is. Isolation testing applies changes only inside an isolated session that requires a signed cookie and an administrator login, and it never writes to the plugin list in the database.

Ravnsight watches your website from the outside and tells you when something is wrong – before your customers do. It checks that pages load, that certificates and domains are valid, that DNS has not changed, and alerts the right people when an outage is confirmed.

For WordPress sites, the Ravnsight Detective plugin (coming) adds the inside view: errors, plugin changes and performance, correlated with what the monitor sees.

Pro checks every minute instead of every 5, monitors 5 sites, unlocks DNS, API, TCP and heartbeat monitors, critical-page monitors, alert channels beyond e-mail (Slack, SMS, webhooks…), staged alerts with reminders, maintenance windows, status pages and reports, and keeps 13 months of history. Agency and Partner are Pro for many sites.

A single failed check never alerts anyone. When a check fails we retry after 10 and 20 seconds from the same location, then ask a second location in another country to confirm. Only a confirmed outage becomes an incident and an alert. If your site is slow but answering you see degraded instead – visible, not paged.

Yes. The Free plan monitors one site every 5 minutes with HTTP, certificate and domain-expiry checks, content checks and e-mail alerts, with 30 days of history. No card, no trial clock. Upgrade to Pro when you need more sites, 1-minute checks, more monitor types or Slack/SMS alerts.

One domain you monitor. A site can have many monitors (several pages, certificate, domain, API, heartbeat) without using more slots. Paused sites do not count.

An AI reading of everything we have collected about your site – uptime, incidents, certificates, detected technologies and the homepage snapshot – summarising the current state and pointing out the most likely causes with an honest confidence level. Connect the Detective plugin and the analysis also reads the site from the inside: PHP errors, the change timeline and the environment. It never claims something is a confirmed cause unless it could be reproduced.

From Ravnsight nodes in the EU (Germany, Finland, Sweden) with more regions on the roadmap. Every check records where it ran. Nodes only pull work from us – we never open connections from the cloud into your infrastructure.

• HTTP – status, response time broken down (DNS, connect, TLS, first byte), redirects and content checks ("the checkout button must be there").
• Certificate – validity and expiry warnings.
• Domain – registration expiry and status via the registry (RDAP).
• DNS (Pro) – expected records and drift.
• API/JSON (Pro) – call an endpoint, assert on the JSON.
• TCP port (Pro) – mail, database, anything with a port.
• Heartbeat (Pro) – your cron job pings us; silence alerts.

No. External monitoring works for any website – WordPress, Shopify, a custom app, an API. Nothing is installed and nothing changes on your site. The optional WordPress plugin adds inside-out data later, and it never makes changes either: Ravnsight observes and diagnoses, it never auto-fixes.
