SiteGuardian for BigCommerce. Watch the storefront that runs overnight.

BigCommerce stores run on managed host infrastructure; outages trickle through the storefront front-end. SiteGuardian watches the URLs a visitor hits and emails you the moment one of them stops answering. No SDK, no app, no API key.

  • Probe your storefront, /checkout, /cart, and category URLs from one URL list.
  • Minutely cadence. Finds most outages inside sixty seconds.
  • No BigCommerce app install. Works on any storefront URL.
  • Custom slow threshold per URL. Tight on /checkout.
  • SSL certificate expiry watcher free on every plan.

What you get

What you actually get on BigCommerce.

Six concrete platform-specific things, in plain English. The boring safeguard reads the same on every site; the path to it does not.

  1. No BigCommerce app required

    SiteGuardian pings the storefront URLs from the network. There is no BigCommerce Marketplace app, no API key, no shared admin scope. The watch runs from the network edge.

  2. Watches the URLs that close the sale

    The home page, /products/<hero>, /cart, /checkout, /pages/about. One URL per page that would silently ruin a Tuesday afternoon if it stopped answering.

  3. Custom slow thresholds per URL

    Tight 1.5-second slow thresholds on /checkout and /cart; looser on /blog and /pages/about. SiteGuardian trip the right alert at the right pace, per URL.

  4. SSL certificate expiry watcher

    BigCommerce handles SSL renewal itself; the renewal can fail silently on the storefront domain. SiteGuardian pings the cert path daily and emails you at 90 / 30 / 7 / 1 days out.

  5. Multi-region minutely probing

    BigCommerce sites sit behind a managed CDN. SiteGuardian probes from multiple regions so a single-region CDN blip does not falsely trip the alert.

  6. Quiet inbox by default

    One loud email per outage, one recovery email per come-back. No daily digest, no AI insight, no second inbox to maintain.

How it works

Setup, in three beats.

  1. Step 01

    Add your BigCommerce storefront URL

    Paste the home page URL plus /cart, /checkout, and any /products/<hero> URLs. Set a tight 1.5-second slow-threshold on /checkout. SiteGuardian starts probing inside the next minute.

  2. Step 02

    Add the URLs that funnel revenue

    If your store runs sale campaigns that land on specific category pages, add those too. The rule: one URL per page that, if offline on a Tuesday afternoon, would ruin the day.

  3. Step 03

    Sit on the inbox while orders move

    The boring safeguard passes its own test: set up once, the dashboard stays green, the inbox stays quiet. The first time something really does stop answering, you’ll get one email, in plain sentences, naming the URL and the time.

What the alert actually says

One email. One URL. One timestamp.

Your URL https://yourstore.mybigcommerce.com/products/hero returned a TLS error at 09:14 UTC.
