Monitoring and alerts
We watch uptime, speed and security and alert you when a check fails. Chris Conen monitors his own sites with these checks.

Care after launch
tied to real numbers
After launch the work continues. We monitor uptime, speed and security, apply updates, keep backups, look after technical search, and make steady improvements you can see in the numbers. One point of contact, Australia-wide.
What’s included
Care, hosting & growth.
Care covers the checks, the housekeeping and a monthly round of improvements. Hosting is on Cloudflare or Vercel. You get one report, in plain English.
Updates and backups
We patch the software your site depends on and keep regular backups, two strategies in the Australian Signals Directorate's Essential Eight.
Security headers and SSL
We set and check SSL and security headers, and correct them when a scan shows they have drifted.
Technical SEO and analytics
We maintain technical SEO, Google Analytics 4 and Search Console, and read the numbers before we change the site.
AI visibility
We check whether AI agents can reach your key pages and read them clearly. We are also open about how we use AI.
Monthly improvements
Each month we make a focused set of improvements and send a plain-English report of what changed and what the numbers show.

The checks, on one screen
This dashboard is illustrative. It shows the uptime, speed, SSL, security header, backup, broken-link and AI-readiness checks we keep on a site.

Use cases
Where it makes a difference.
Typical Australian businesses we build this for. Examples, not client stories.
A Gold Coast surf shop
- The situation
- The site is live, but nobody is watching uptime, speed or the contact form after a plugin update.
- What we do
- We monitor the shop, apply updates, keep backups, and fix the issues the checks surface.
- The outcome
- You hear about failed checks from us, and the shop keeps a current, backed-up site.
A Sydney plumber
- The situation
- Calls come from Google, and the mobile page feels slow when someone is out on a job.
- What we do
- We measure Largest Contentful Paint, INP and CLS against Google's web.dev thresholds and improve pages that rate poorly.
- The outcome
- You see whether speed improved, in the same plain-English report as the other checks.
A Melbourne B2B supplier
- The situation
- Buyers use the catalogue after hours, and there is no one in-house to watch the site.
- What we do
- We host on Cloudflare or Vercel, watch uptime and broken links, and send one monthly report.
- The outcome
- You are alerted when uptime or a key page fails, and you get a plain-English report of the month's work.
We run the same monitoring on our own sites: uptime, Core Web Vitals, security headers and AI agent readiness, with scheduled monthly rescans for a compliance platform.

How it works
Clear steps. No surprises.
- 01
We baseline the site
We record uptime, speed, security headers, SSL, backups and search setup so later work has numbers to measure against.
- 02
We host and watch it
The site is hosted on Cloudflare or Vercel. Monitoring stays on, and we alert you when a check fails.
- 03
We keep it current
Updates, backups and security checks run through the month. You hear from us when something needs a decision.
- 04
We improve from the numbers
Each month we choose improvements from the data, ship them, and explain what changed in plain English.
Questions
Good to know.
What does care include after launch?
Uptime, speed and security monitoring with alerts, updates and backups, SSL and security headers, technical SEO, GA4 and Search Console, AI visibility checks, and monthly improvements with a plain-English report. Hosting is on Cloudflare or Vercel.
How do you judge whether a page is fast?
Google's web.dev article, last updated 7 May 2025, rates the 75th percentile of page loads. Good is LCP at or under 2,500 ms, INP at or under 200 ms and CLS at or under 0.1. Poor is LCP over 4,000 ms, INP over 500 ms and CLS over 0.25. Anything between those cut-offs is rated 'needs improvement'.
Do you follow the Essential Eight?
Patching and regular backups are two of the eight strategies in the Australian Signals Directorate’s Essential Eight, and we apply both. ASD’s newer Essentials series is written mainly for government and large organisations; for smaller sites we work from ASD’s small business cyber security guidance. This is not legal advice.
What about analytics and tracking pixels?
The OAIC's 4 November 2024 guidance says the Privacy Act does not prohibit tracking pixels and groups pixels with cookies. Organisations must comply with the APPs. In its 2023 survey, 69% of adults did not think personal information used for tracking, profiling and targeted advertising was fair and reasonable. We work to that guidance. Seek legal advice on your notices.
Who does the work?
You deal with Chris Conen. He leads a team of AI agents: Architect and Astra write, test and review code with him. He also runs scheduled monthly security and performance rescans for a compliance SaaS.
Put your site on a care plan
Tell us about the site you already have. We will reply with what we would monitor, which platform we would host it on, and what the first month of care would cover.
Next step
Let’s build what’s next.
We work in writing, so every decision is on record and time zones don’t matter. Send a five-minute brief and get a written plan and a fixed quote within two business days, from Chris, not a sales team.
