Easier to read screenshot history

v2.272.2
  • FixIn a page's screenshot history, the approved screenshot no longer fills its tile with a bright color that hid the date. It keeps a colored outline, and its date stays on one line with "Approved" under it.

Fewer reminders while something is wrong

v2.272.0
  • ImprovedWhile a site stays down, the first reminder now comes after the time you set (6 hours by default), and later ones once a day. Reminders for slow pages and alert rules follow the same pattern.
  • ImprovedSites on the 1-hour reminder setting now get their first reminder after 6 hours. You can set 1 hour again in the site's alert settings. Other reminder settings, including off, are unchanged.
  • ImprovedReminder emails link to the site's reminder setting, so you can change how often we remind you straight from the email.

Tidier summary on the Monitors page

v2.271.1
  • FixThe Checks on summary on the Monitors page now sits on two rows like the summaries beside it, so the summary block no longer stretches.

Cleaner page header under announcements

v2.270.2
  • FixWhen a notice bar shows at the top of your workspace, the page header now sits cleanly below it instead of drawing a second outline around itself.

Clearer prices when you change plan

v2.270.1
  • FixPlan change screens and trial reminder emails now show your plan's regular renewal price, even when you have credit on your account. When a change leaves credit over, the screen says how much stays on your account for later payments.

Offers on yearly billing

v2.270.0
  • ImprovedWhen an offer applies to yearly billing, every switch to yearly names it, and the charge shown already includes it. If the price changes before you confirm, you see the new total first.
  • ImprovedSwitching from monthly to yearly with a monthly discount that has time left now turns it into a one-time discount on your first yearly payment, worth the months it had left. The switch shows it before you confirm.

Keep your plan, and a page in German

v2.269.0
  • NewIf you cancelled and your plan is set to end, the workspace owner can now press Keep my plan in Plan and billing. The cancellation is removed and the plan carries on as before, without a trip to the billing portal.
  • NewA new page in German explains how website change monitoring works, with each plan's check intervals and prices. The app itself stays in English.

Summary emails that match your uptime

v2.268.1
  • FixThe weekly summary and 30-day check-in emails now count uptime the same way as your dashboard and status pages, and cover the full days they name. Checks that could not tell whether your site was up no longer lower the figure.

Quieter speed alerts and readable API docs

v2.268.0
  • ImprovedSlow page speed alerts no longer repeat when a page keeps flipping between slow and fine. After an alert, a new one waits until the page has stayed fine for two tests in a row. A very low speed score still alerts as before.
  • ImprovedWhen you cancel because you did not need it, and a smaller plan covers all your sites, Billing now offers that plan first.
  • NewThe API documentation now has a readable page for every area of the API, every data model and every guide, each also available as markdown for AI assistants.
  • ImprovedThe Install in Cursor and Install in VS Code buttons on the MCP page and in Connect your AI agent now use each app's own install link, and Cursor's opens in a new tab. If Cursor does not open, its page shows the settings to add by hand.
  • ImprovedThe MCP page and the agent setup guide now state the usage limits: without an account the free tools allow 300 calls a day and about 10 a minute per IP address, and a connected account gets 120 calls a minute per connection, with the free check tools still at about 10 a minute.
  • FixOn phones, the page title at the top of the workspace no longer breaks in the middle of a word. It stays on one line, and the plan label is shown in the menu instead.

Security update

v2.267.0
  • SecurityEnhanced security hardening.

Security update

v2.264.7
  • SecurityEnhanced security hardening.

Fewer false alerts from Klaviyo popups

v2.264.6
  • FixScreenshots now also hide opened Klaviyo signup popups, so they no longer look like a change to your site.

Clearer terms for the Agency 3-Year Pass

v2.264.4
  • ImprovedThe Terms and Refund Policy now set out the Agency 3-Year Pass in full: the price, three years of access from the payment date, no renewal, the limit on passes, how a subscription works after it ends, the 14-day full refund, and a pro-rata refund if the service ever stops early. The pass offer links to these rules.

Tidier tag filters on the monitors list

v2.264.2
  • ImprovedWorkspaces with many tags see the most used ones first, with Show all tags for the rest. Long tag names are shortened, and the full name shows when you point at it. A tag you have selected always stays visible.

Agency 3-Year Pass

v2.264.0
  • NewThe Agency 3-Year Pass: one payment covers 3 years of the Agency plan, and it never renews. Availability is limited. Workspaces without a subscription can buy it from Billing.

Clearer wording on two pages

v2.263.1
  • ImprovedClearer, plain-language wording on the endpoint monitoring page and the 504 Gateway Timeout guide.

Down alerts double-checked from a second location

v2.258.1
  • ImprovedIf a site checked from one location fails, we now check it straight away from a second location before counting it as down, so a short network problem at one of our checking locations is caught before it reaches you. A real outage still alerts as before.

Data Processing Agreement

v2.258.0
  • NewA Data Processing Agreement is now available at visualsentinel.com/dpa, and workspace members can see the current list of service providers we use under Workspace settings, Data processing.
  • ImprovedOur Privacy Policy now describes each service we rely on by what it does, and covers every kind of processing the product carries out.

Clearer actions for AI assistants

v2.257.0
  • ImprovedAI assistants now set the method a monitor checks your site with and the request body it sends as two separate actions.
  • ImprovedEach way of closing an incident (mark it resolved, change the limit, stop alerting, or pause the monitor) is now its own action for AI assistants, each with its own description.
  • ImprovedAssistants now mark workspace name, logo and branding changes as visible outside your workspace, since they show on your public status pages and client reports.

Quicker visual alerts and bulk alert levels

v2.256.0
  • ImprovedVisual checks now pick up changes sooner on pages that differ slightly on every load, for monitors checked from Europe.
  • NewIf a page loses its styling because a stylesheet goes missing, Visual Sentinel now takes a fresh screenshot sooner, without waiting for the next scheduled one.
  • NewBulk edit can now set the visual alert level and the slow page limit on many monitors at once, and tells you which monitors it left alone and why.
  • ImprovedOur free service status pages let you sign up for an email the next time that service goes down.
  • FixThe Response time setting now explains that turning it off only stops the daily speed test, and slow page alerts keep working.
