NorthDuty runs the customer flows you choose in a real browser and alerts your team when a check fails — with the failed step and a screenshot. No test scripts or plugin installation.
No credit card. Pro limits for 7 days, then one daily journey free. Starter and Pro check journeys every 15 minutes.
A plugin update ships on Tuesday. The site stays up, the dashboard stays green, and checkout throws an error on the payment step. Nobody notices until the client calls on Thursday.
NorthDuty runs the checkout you configured on a schedule. When a check detects a failure, your team gets the failed step and screenshot to investigate.
NorthDuty shows what is covered, proposes the next useful journey, runs it in a real browser, and turns a failure into evidence and an incident-ready alert.
Journey coverage lists what customers do on the site, such as checkout, cart, search, sign-in, and forms, and shows which ones a journey actually checks. Rows that need attention come first, each with the button that fixes it.
Suggestions carry an explicit capability, concrete steps, and safety guidance. Ask for up to three more and NorthDuty prioritizes useful, non-duplicate paths instead of padding the list.
Every run keeps a step timeline with screenshots, latest duration, and success rate. When a cart rule breaks while every page still returns 200, you see the exact step, what the page showed, and a plain-language explanation — not a generic 'site down'.
Set thresholds for failed journeys, health score, response time, or SSL expiry. Matching detections can be opened as incidents with the finding already carried into the incident workflow.
The latest workspace and monitoring updates reduce the time between noticing a signal and deciding what to do next.
Scan health, journey failures, incidents, and recent deploys across every site from one prioritized workspace view.
See whether a site is waiting for its first check, actively checking, paused, degraded, or ready — with the first-check completion message kept on Overview.
Compare more journeys at once while keeping steps, warnings, actions, reliability, and run history easy to scan.
Open a health finding as an incident with its source, severity, title, and summary carried forward instead of retyping the evidence.
Enter your site URL to create an account. Then review a suggested flow, enable its schedule and set an alert destination.

See user-flow plansAnswers to common questions about NorthDuty and website monitoring.
A basic uptime check confirms that a URL responds. A browser journey checks the steps and expected outcome you configure, such as submitting a form and seeing its confirmation. Products such as Pingdom also offer transaction monitoring. NorthDuty combines suggested or plain-text journeys, failed-step screenshots and website health checks in one workspace for your client sites.
No. NorthDuty runs Playwright and Chromium behind the scenes, but you never touch them. It suggests 2-5 journeys for a new project, and custom flows are described in plain text.
Yes, and there is no plugin to install — NorthDuty drives the site from the outside in a real browser. That is also why it catches the WordPress failure mode that hurts most: an update that leaves the site up and responding while checkout, login, or a form quietly stops working.
The trial is 7 days with Pro features and limits and no credit card. After it ends the Free plan keeps one site, health checks every 5 minutes, one journey checked daily, email notifications, and re-checks after updates through the WordPress plugin or a webhook (the journey re-runs on up to 3 updates a day). More journeys at faster intervals, automatic deploy detection without a plugin, and the full set of alert channels start on Starter.
NorthDuty is intended for sites, flows, and services you own, operate, or are authorized to test. For authenticated or transactional journeys, use test-safe accounts and inputs, and keep secrets, payment data, and other sensitive data out of URLs, journey steps, reports, and alerts.
Create an account with your site URL, choose a suggested checkout or form journey, and enable monitoring. Your team gets an alert when a configured check detects a failure.
