What Google decided, and what changed first.

CrawlWarden reads your Search Console, read only, and tells you when Google's verdict or numbers for a page you watch change. Each alert carries what CrawlWarden recorded changing on that page beforehand.

Google's clicks for /pricing fell below their normal range from Friday 3 October. Before that, CrawlWarden recorded: on Tuesday 30 September the page's canonical changed to /pricing-new.

Answers per crawler, not one guess for all

Google's outcome, with the evidence attached

Two sources, dated facts from both, and no guess at a cause. That is the whole product, and it is why the alerts get read.

It tells you what Google decided, and what changed first

Read your Search Console, read only. When Google's verdict or numbers for a watched page move, the alert says so in Google's own dates and lists what changed on that page beforehand. Search Console shows the outcome days later and nothing about what preceded it.

It remembers

Full change history on every plan, from the day a page was added. It is also what makes the first claim possible: nobody can list what changed before an outcome unless they were already watching.

A site's change history: Google's index status for a page went from “Discovered - currently not indexed” to “URL is unknown to Google”, and under it CrawlWarden's own record that robots.txt began blocking that page for a watched crawler a week earlier.

It sees what Googlebot sees

Every page is fetched a second time as Googlebot from a non-US address. Geo and bot blocking that looks perfect in your browser gets caught.

One observation is noise. Two is a fact.

A change must be seen at least twice before it alerts. A flickering deploy or a one-off blip never wakes you up.

You are never rationed

Priced per site, not per URL. Every check on every plan, and Google's alerts are identical on free.

The Google half is published in full: the six things Google reports about a page, the numbers and how late they arrive, and the whole method behind the drop alerts, including the floor of roughly 30 clicks a day below which they stay silent.

Sixty seconds to your first check

Connect, add, confirm. Then silence until something actually changes.

1

Connect Search Console, then add a site

Link Search Console first, read only, because what Google decided is the thing you came for. Then give it a domain: it reads the sitemap and pre-selects the pages worth watching. No access to the property? Page monitoring runs and alerts without it.

The "Watch a site" screen: the Search Console properties on the connected Google account, each one a domain property, most of them already watched, with a box underneath to type an address instead.
2

It watches, quietly

Every few hours it records the values that decide indexability, and once a day it reads what Google now says about those same pages. A change is confirmed twice before it counts.

A site's watched pages: each one with what Google reports about it, whether CrawlWarden can index it, its title, and how long ago it was checked.
3

You get one email

What Google now reports, since when, in Google's own dates, and under it what CrawlWarden recorded changing on that page first. Nothing when nothing changed.

An alert email in an inbox, listing each affected URL with its old and new page title.

68 checks across indexability, on-page tags, analytics, configuration, DNS, TLS and content integrity. You choose which ones - the plan never chooses for you. Every check, and what a change in it means.

We measured how often the Googlebot check has something to find: of 105 public domains fetched twice, 5.1 percent of those healthy to a browser answered a Googlebot user agent differently. The method, the four domains and the limits.

The checks screen for a site: Essentials, Standard, Everything or Custom, over the check groups - what Google reports, Google's numbers, indexability, on-page tags, tracking, site configuration, domain and DNS, TLS.

What each of these failures actually costs

One page per failure mode, answering the question first: what it is, how it gets onto a live site, how to verify it yourself, and which check reports it.
