Hi Hunters! 🎉
I'm very excited to submit my first project to producthunt :)
I built PageWatch to help me with a ritual that I noticed I go through every time I make a big design change, see if this sounds familiar:
* Open Chrome devtools, and I use the emulate tab to check my pages in various device sizes.
* Proofread a bunch of pages to look for spelling/visual issues, especially when talking about companies/brands that are not usually caught by spell check.
* Click around the site to make sure the links all work
* All while keeping an eye on the console for javascript errors, broken resources or slow loading pages.
PageWatch is meant to automate and catch as many of these issues as possible.
Do you have a website? Are you sure you don't have some broken pages / spelling errors that your users never reported? Why not double check, the first few tests are on us.
@lpellis One thing I could see being helpful (or I missed which is equally possible) is the ability to see how many total pages a website is comprised of so you know how many pages you need to purchase.
Additionally, I feel like having the pricing be based on # of pages is a bit tough depending on the type of website (for example if you have a blog) and the variability of pages month over month. If you're trying ensure pricing increases in measure with the required processing bandwidth, perhaps finding an efficient way (even post captcha if you want to be very careful) to assess a website's relative complexity and base pricing off of some measure of that could be helpful. I'm not sure what a perfect solution is though.
@karlnislow Thanks for the feedback, I agree our pricing structure needs some work. This launch really helped to see how my server respond under load, and it has been much better than expected, so I should be able pass on the savings.
For a blog though you would probably only be testing the top few pages regularly (eg the 'newest posts' section, I would assume the rest of the content to be rather more static.
@lpellis Awesome! I think your note on blogs is correct. I wonder if the solution would be to have the option to exclude pages/website sections altogether then. Searching old blog posts for new deadlines etc could have utility.
At Spike.sh, we benefited a ton by PageWatch giving us timely alerts about spelling mistakes, CSS issues and broken links. Highly recommended.
Also, it helps that @lpellis is a gem of a person and is super passionate 😊
The PageWatch tool is incredible. It actually out-performed a manual audit that a hired large agency did for one of my most recent sites. Finding mistakes and proofing our copy (Not to mention finding inconsistencies in the display of the pages) was one of the tasks that the agency was hired to carry out. They missed a ton of mistakes. Funny enough, we submitted the agency's site through PageWatch and found so many mistakes they had overlooked too. Honestly, this tool is critical to your metaphoric web-dev belt. I'm pretty sure that there would be so many silly little mistakes I wouldn't have spotted without it.
Neat tool, could be really useful for a web agency. The agency I worked at, we'd do our best to prevent these issues, but being a small team and working to tight deadlines mistakes happen.
You service could have prevented a few issues, and like you said - find them before the client or their customers.
As someone else mentioned, the dashboard needs work on mobile.
Also, check your homepage copy. There are a few inconsistencies e.g using a mix of title case and sentence case for the features on the pricing table. It's me being pedantic, but it could pu some people off. I'd also change the 'prepaid' plan, where its says 'once off' to 'pay-as-you-go'.
Good luck, looking forward to seeing this develop.
Haven't tested the product out. Really like the idea and concept however looking at the pricing page it seems it wouldn't be possible for many SME's running page heavy sites.
Well done. This sounds very helpful for web designers. I would love to give it a try but the pricing puts me off. $2 for a page, if i have 4 websites with 10 pages each, that would give a total of $80/month. Seems a bit much. Good luck.
@osvaldo_b That is for the continuous monitoring though (where we keep track of changes constantly), if you were to just do a single check on lets say 3 devices, the price for 40 pages would be less than $10.
But I agree, and I'm reworking the pricing structure completely. This launch has actually been a great way to see how my server respond under load, and it worked much better than expected, which means I should be able to offer significantly better plans. Stay tuned.
@lpellis I understand. The way I see your product (probably other professionals too) is "another" product to measure the quality of a website, the same way a SEO or an image compressor plugin helps in the overall quality of the website. So, if a professional puts Pagewatch in the same "plugin" category, maybe checking the prices of these sort of products will help you adjust yours. Keep up the good work.
@matt_jones_mattjones_money_ I have not seen the .money used before, pretty cool :)
It should work though, please let me know what error you were getting.
I ran the test on the mattjones.money (the site here in your producthunt profile), you can see the report here: https://app.pagewatch.dev/06cf5d...
