Integrate
SiteGuardian for WordPress. Watch your site while you write the next post.
WordPress powers a lot of small sites, and WordPress sites break in a lot of small ways. SiteGuardian watches the front-end URL you give it every minute, and emails you the second the answer is no.
- Probe the homepage, /wp-admin, /wp-login.php, and any post URL.
- Minutely cadence. The average blog is fine; outages hit the inbox fast.
- No WordPress plugin to install; works on any front-end URL.
- SSL certificate expiry watcher free on every plan.
- Built for the writer who wants the watch to be silent 99 days out of 100.
What you get
What you actually get on WordPress.
Six concrete platform-specific things, in plain English. The boring safeguard reads the same on every site; the path to it does not.
No plugin install
SiteGuardian is an external monitor. It pings the URL the way a visitor would. There is no plugin to install, no wp-config to edit, no shared admin secret to paste.
Watches the URLs that look broken-when-offline
/, /about, /contact, the post you wrote last week and still sends traffic from search. One URL per page that would silently cost you a Tuesday.
Custom slow thresholds per URL
The homepage deserves a tight threshold (1.5 seconds is a sane default). A custom /contact page is fine at 2.5 seconds. SiteGuardian treats each URL independently.
SSL certificate expiry watcher
Most managed hosts renew for you; the renewals fail silently. SiteGuardian pings the cert path daily and emails you at 90 / 30 / 7 / 1 days out from expiry.
Multi-region minutely probing
WordPress sites often sit behind regional CDNs. SiteGuardian probes from multiple regions so a single-region hiccup does not falsely trip the alert.
Quiet inbox by default
One 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.
Step 01
Add your WordPress front-end URL
Paste the homepage (https://example.com). Set the slow threshold in plain English. SiteGuardian starts probing inside the next minute, no plugin required.
Step 02
Add the URLs your readers come from
The home page is rarely the only page. Add /about, /contact, and any post URL that sends search traffic. The rule: one URL per page you would be embarrassed to have offline on a Tuesday afternoon.
Step 03
Maintain the basics, let SiteGuardian watch the rest
Renews, plugin updates, and backups are still on you (or your host). SiteGuardian catches the things that bypass those habits. The storage volume that goes read-only, the host’s bad day.
What the alert actually says
One email. One URL. One timestamp.
Your URL https://example.com/about answered with HTTP 502 at 14:38 UTC. The probe will retry in 60 seconds.Frequently asked
