Website Monitoring That Catches What Uptime Misses

Uptime says the server responded. NorthDuty shows whether the page rendered, key UI stayed intact, and signup, checkout, login, or form journeys still work.

Trust starts with inspectable evidence

Websites change constantly through deployments, content updates, third-party services, and infrastructure changes. NorthDuty checks the resulting customer experience on a schedule.

Quality evidence from real monitoring screens

NorthDuty keeps the evidence behind every quality check: alert thresholds, AI-suggested journeys, visual diffs, and step-level journey results.

Alert Rules

Turn website health signals into alert thresholds

Configure alerts for health score, response time, failed journeys, visual differences, SSL expiry, and other website reliability signals.

NorthDuty compares the latest screenshot against the previous baseline and reports the changed percentage with side-by-side evidence.

1

Create a project with your base URL

Add your website's base URL and NorthDuty creates a quality monitoring project around it. Website health checks start immediately.

2

Quality checks run continuously

Website health runs every 5 minutes by default, screenshots and visual diffs can run daily or weekly, and user journeys use the cadence you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about NorthDuty and website monitoring.

How is this different from UptimeRobot or Pingdom?

Use a traditional uptime tool if you mainly need to know whether an endpoint responds. NorthDuty is focused on website quality evidence in one project: real-browser health checks, screenshot-based visual diffs, and user journeys you can enable or describe without writing scripts. It is not trying to replace a full observability or APM platform.

Do I need to write Playwright scripts?

No. NorthDuty uses Playwright and Chromium behind the scenes, but setup is product-driven. It suggests 2-5 journeys for a project, lets you enable a suggested journey, and also supports custom journeys described in plain text.

What does the free plan include?

The Free plan includes 20 monitored pages, website health monitoring only, checks every 15 minutes, and basic email notification. Page stability monitoring and API monitoring start on Starter, and user-flow monitoring starts on Pro.

Is monitoring safe for authorized URLs?

NorthDuty is intended for websites, URLs, pages, flows, accounts, and services you own, operate, administer, or are otherwise authorized to test. For authenticated or transactional journeys, use test-safe accounts and inputs, and avoid placing unnecessary secrets, payment data, protected health information, or highly sensitive data in URLs, journey steps, reports, or alerts.

How fast can I set it up?

You can create a project with a base URL and start website health monitoring in minutes. Screenshot schedules and user journeys take additional configuration, but NorthDuty can suggest 2-5 journeys for a new project so you are not starting from a blank script.
