Website Monitoring with Screenshots
Automatically capture screenshots at regular intervals to monitor visual changes, detect regressions, and ensure your websites display correctly across updates.
The Challenge
Websites change constantly - deployments, CMS updates, third-party widgets. Without visual monitoring, broken layouts, missing images, and display issues go unnoticed until customers report them.
- Visual regressions slip through testing
- Third-party changes break layouts
- No historical record of changes
The Solution
GetScreenshot captures your pages on a schedule, giving you a visual history. Compare screenshots over time, get notified of changes, and catch issues before your customers do.
- Scheduled screenshot capture via automation
- Full page capture for complete visibility
- Webhook delivery for real-time processing
What You Can Monitor
Common website monitoring scenarios
Visual Regression Testing
Capture screenshots before and after deployments to catch CSS breaks, layout shifts, and missing elements.
Uptime Monitoring
Verify pages render correctly, not just that they return 200. Catch soft failures that uptime tools miss.
Content Verification
Ensure CMS changes, pricing updates, and promotional content display correctly across pages.
Third-Party Widget Tracking
Monitor how embedded widgets, ads, and external content affect your page appearance.
Cross-Browser Consistency
Capture at different viewport sizes to ensure responsive designs work across devices.
Brand Compliance
Monitor partner sites, reseller pages, and franchisee websites for brand guideline adherence.
