[WPMU DEV Dashboard] Uptime – Add something similar to “Safe Update Check” to check pages integrity

1

Checking uptime/downtime on a regular basis is good. Checking if pages and content display correctly would be even better:

It happens from time to time that cache conflict or other issue cause pages to display wrongly (e.g “raw” content, with no css or images loaded).

Adding to the uptime check something similar to the “Safe Update Check” (in plugin update automation) would allow to alert if selected pages content changes more than X%.

Administrator could be alerted first hand and do what needs to be done (e.g cache flush, php restart, …).

    Hi Axxun

    I hope you are doing well.

    This is a nice idea, not sure if it would be applicable for Uptime as the service only gets the header status to report if the site is down or not but maybe extending the service could be a solution.

    We shared this request with our developers and designers.

    Best Regards

    I wrote this idea after a customer called us as their site didn’t charged pages correctly. They missed sales for up to several hours, where a regular pagecheck could have triggered an alert.

    The check done after automated updates is a really cool and valuable stuff, I though maybe you’ll find a way to recycle it into the Uptime feature.

    WPMU has been a huge releaf for us in terms of stress and concerns monitoring sites, their performances and security. This pagething is still somehow a blind spot I would love to get rid off.
