Monitor

Checkout monitoring that tells you the day your cart page got slow.

A checkout that goes down is loud. A checkout that gets slowly slower is the silent revenue-killer. SiteGuardian probes /checkout on a minute cadence under a tight slow threshold, so you learn the same minute it crosses.

  • Probes /checkout (and /cart) every minute on Pro; every 5 minutes on Starter & Lifetime.
  • Tight slow threshold per checkout URL. 1.5 seconds is a sane default.
  • Multi-region probing so a CDN blip does not falsely trip the alert.
  • SSL cert check on the same URL. Sale page expiry is the worst kind of late news.
  • No app install, no payment-provider hookup, no checkout-side SDK.

How it works

Setup, in three beats.

  1. Step 01

    Add your checkout URL and the cart URL

    Paste https://yourstore.com/checkout (and /cart if you have one). Set a slow threshold of 1.5 seconds. That is the boundary most stores want. SiteGuardian starts probing inside the next minute, no Shopify / WooCommerce / BigCommerce SDK required.

  2. Step 02

    Let the alerts find the silent slowdown

    Most checkout pages start slow and get slower over months. A plugin update, a tracking-pixel load, a heavier theme. A weekly Uptime check misses it; a minute-by-minute probe catches it the day it happens.

  3. Step 03

    Catch the outage before the refunds roll in

    A checkout that returns 500 for ten minutes loses revenue the next hour. A checkout that gets slow for ten days loses revenue the whole month. SiteGuardian’s tight threshold and minute cadence catch both, with the same one-email signal.

What the alert actually says

One email. One URL. One timestamp.

Your URL https://yourstore.com/checkout answered slowly at 4,820ms (your threshold is 1,500ms) at 14:32 UTC.
