Why You Need Cloud Monitoring

Screaming Frog Doesn't Run While You Sleep

For Screaming Frog to work, your computer must be on, and you must click "Start". If your client's site crashes at 3 AM on Saturday, Screaming Frog won't tell you.

With isMyWebOk: We are always on. We check your sites 365 days a year, so you don't have to.

No IP Bans or Configuration Headaches

Crawling sites with Screaming Frog can get your IP banned by firewalls. You have to manage proxies, user-agents, and crawl speeds.

With isMyWebOk: No setup. Just paste the URL. We handle the crawling infrastructure.

Client Access

You can't give your client "access" to your Screaming Frog instance. You have to export spreadsheets.

With isMyWebOk: Give clients a link to a live, beautiful dashboard that shows them: "Everything is OK".

The "Audit & Project" Workflow

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to install isMyWebOk?

No. Unlike Screaming Frog, we run 100% in the cloud. You can access your dashboard from any computer or phone.

Can isMyWebOk find broken links?

We check your main pages for critical errors, but we don't do a "deep crawl" of every single link on your site like Screaming Frog does. (For XML sitemap issues, try our Free Sitemap Validator). We are a monitoring tool, not a deep-crawl auditor.
