Uptime & website health
Every 5 minutes by default: HTTP status, SSL, DNS, response timing, blank-page detection, broken resources, JavaScript errors, and API call tracking — all in one check.
What Is Website Monitoring?
NorthDuty runs two layers of monitoring: user journeys that prove customers can still check out, sign up and log in, and uptime and website health underneath. A workspace overview then prioritizes health, journey failures, incidents, and deploys across every site.

The plain-English version: what gets checked, how often, and why it matters.
Monitoring coverage by plan
Two layers, one project. Each cadence is configurable in project settings.
User journeys
NorthDuty lists what customers do on your site, shows which ones nothing checks yet, and suggests journeys to cover them. Turn any on in one click, or describe your own multi-step flow in plain text — no code.
Workspace overview
Review monitoring readiness, degraded sites, failing journeys, open incidents, and deploy activity across every project without opening sites one by one.
Website monitoring results you can actually inspect
NorthDuty keeps uptime and user journey evidence in the same product surface, so every alert has context.
Journey Coverage
See what customers can do on your site, and what nothing checks yet
Journey coverage lists the key things customers do on the site, such as checkout, cart, search, bookings, and forms, with a plain status for each: monitored, failing, partly checked, ready to turn on, or not monitored. Every row has the one button that fixes it.
Alert Rules
Turn website health signals into alert thresholds
Configure alerts for health score, response time, failed journeys, SSL expiry, and other website reliability signals.
Form Journeys
See exactly which form step failed, with screenshots
NorthDuty runs your contact and lead forms as a real user journey — open the page, fill the fields, submit — and keeps a step-by-step screenshot timeline so a failed submission is easy to pinpoint.
AI Journeys
AI-suggested journeys, offered right where they close a gap
NorthDuty scans the site and prepares journeys with concrete steps. Each suggestion appears in the row it would cover, so you can read its steps and turn it on in one click, with no scripts.
Journey Results
See the exact step timeline and the latest success rate
Each monitored journey keeps a step timeline, last run details, and success-rate context so teams can understand whether a flow is healthy.
Journeys and health in one project
Add a base URL and NorthDuty sets up a project around it. Website health monitoring starts running every 5 minutes by default, checking HTTP response, SSL, DNS, blank pages, broken resources, JavaScript errors, and first-party API calls in a single pass. You can adjust the cadence in project settings.
On top of that, NorthDuty AI suggests user journeys — checkout, signup, login, contact forms — that you can enable in one click or replace with flows described in plain text. Each run happens in a real browser and keeps step screenshots.
Across the workspace, Overview brings every site's monitoring state, health, journeys, incidents, and recent deploy activity into one prioritized queue. First-check progress and completion live there, so setup guidance does not keep occupying the Status page after monitoring is ready.
Why this combination matters
Uptime alone misses silent regressions: a page can return 200 while checkout is broken. Journeys prove the flow works; health checks catch outages, SSL and DNS problems. Running both closes the gap.
- Catch outages and broken pages within minutes
- Re-check the site automatically after deploys, plugin updates and CMS edits
- Verify that login, checkout, signup, and other multi-step flows still work end to end
- See which customer capabilities are covered and which high-value gaps still need a journey
- Prioritize degraded sites, incidents, and deploy activity from one workspace overview
- Reduce the time between regression and team response
- Give technical and non-technical teams a shared view of website risk
How NorthDuty website monitoring works
Set up takes a few minutes; everything runs on a schedule from there.
1
Create a project with your base URL
Add your site's base URL and NorthDuty sets up a project around it, ready to discover important pages and routes.
2
Health checks run every 5 minutes by default
Website health monitoring uses the default 5-minute cadence out of the box. Change the frequency to 1, 5, or 15 minutes in project settings without touching code.
3
Coverage-aware user journeys
NorthDuty lists what customers do on the site, shows what nothing checks yet, and suggests journeys for the most valuable gaps.
4
Alerts and incident handoff
When a journey or health check fails, your team gets the evidence and can carry a detected finding directly into incident management.

Answers to common questions about this monitoring feature and when teams should use it.
What is website monitoring?
Website monitoring checks whether important pages and user journeys are available and usable for visitors. NorthDuty covers availability, page quality, and customer flows from a single project.
Is uptime monitoring enough?
No. A page can return 200 OK while a button is missing, a form is broken, an API returns the wrong shape, or a checkout flow fails halfway through. NorthDuty pairs uptime with user journey checks to catch what status codes hide.
How often does each monitoring type run?
Website health runs every 5 minutes by default and is configurable in project settings, and user journeys can run daily, hourly, or every 15, 10 or 5 minutes depending on the plan.
Do I have to write code to set up user journeys?
No. NorthDuty analyzes the site's customer capabilities, suggests journeys for uncovered paths, and lets you enable them in one click. You can also describe a custom journey in plain text — no code, no Playwright scripts.
