Smoother first sign-up

v2.218.1
  • FixSigning up now goes straight to setting up your first site, even on a slow connection, instead of sometimes waiting on a loading screen.
  • FixUpgrade and trial buttons work while secure checkout is still loading, and if your browser blocks checkout you see why, with a way to try again.

Side panels open from a tab

v2.218.0
  • ImprovedSide panels now open and close from a tab on the right edge of the window, named after what they hold (Insights, Details, Tools and so on). The panel button in the page header is gone.
  • ImprovedThe Insights and Feedback tabs stand out from the page: dark with light text in the light theme, light with dark text in the dark theme.
  • FixThe Insights tab on Incidents opens the panel with its data in one click.
  • FixThe Last 30 days card on Incidents shows its daily bars and fits its column on busy months, and long site names no longer run into their bars.
  • ImprovedNotifications fit in three lines in the bell and the inbox. Open one in the inbox to read the full message.
  • FixStatus code alerts read simply, for example "Expected status 2xx, got 403", instead of listing every accepted code.

Calmer motion

v2.217.17
  • ImprovedLess movement in the Glass style: the background lights stay still, cards no longer jump on hover, and tabs switch with a short slide instead of a bounce.

Steadier Glass style

v2.217.16
  • ImprovedThe Glass style keeps its light still instead of following your pointer, so text stays easy to read.

Calmer page headers

v2.217.15
  • ImprovedPage titles drop the coloured icon tiles, and workspace and profile initials now use a quiet neutral style.

Account menu and incident summary fixes

v2.217.12
  • FixThe account menu fits shorter windows, so Your account, Settings and Sign out are always in reach. Switch workspaces from the switcher at the bottom of the sidebar.
  • ImprovedThe incident summary is tidier: the link to the open incident sits beside the count, and delivery notes sit together underneath with a link to your alert channels.

A tidier monitor list

v2.217.11
  • ImprovedA page change waiting for review now fits on one line in the monitor list, with Approve and Review beside it.

Faster Insights for larger workspaces

  • ImprovedInsights now loads much faster in workspaces with many sites.

Faster pages for larger workspaces

v2.217.8
  • ImprovedThe monitor list, Overview and monitor pages now load much faster in workspaces with many sites.

A lighter dashboard load

v2.217.6
  • ImprovedThe dashboard downloads less data when it first opens, while keeping recent product updates available.
  • ImprovedImproved loading of 30-day uptime summaries for larger workspaces.

Smoother workspace transitions

v2.217.5
  • FixDashboard navigation now keeps its layout in place while workspace styles finish loading.
  • SecurityEnhanced security hardening.

Side tabs keep clear of your cards

v2.217.1
  • FixThe Feedback and Insights tabs on the right edge of the screen no longer cover the edge of page cards.

Approve a page change in one step

v2.217.0
  • ImprovedA page-change alert puts Accept new baseline at the top, next to small before and after screenshots, so you can accept the change without scrolling. On a phone it sits in the action bar.
  • ImprovedQuick inspection in the incident list shows the screenshots and lets you accept the new version straight away.
  • ImprovedThe Monitors list shows an unreviewed page change with a preview, Approve change and Review, the same as Overview.
  • ImprovedScreenshots on the alert page have a clear frame, so a white page no longer blends into the background.

Retired links lead somewhere useful

v2.216.5
  • FixLinks to a few retired pages now open the closest current page instead of a missing-page notice.
  • FixAPI documentation links go straight to the documentation site.

Scheduled reports cover the right period

v2.216.3
  • FixScheduled client reports cover the week, two weeks or month that just ended.

More reliable grouped slow alerts

v2.216.2
  • FixSlow alerts are more reliable when several of your sites slow down at different times.
  • FixWhen a site is deleted or paused while slow, the grouped all-clear for your other sites still arrives.

Clearer status page API errors

v2.216.1
  • FixThe status page API now returns a clear error for a duplicate group name or a malformed request instead of a server error.

Try any paid plan for 10 days

v2.216.0
  • NewEligible workspaces can try any paid plan for 10 days with a card. Before checkout opens you see the amount, the date of the first charge in your own time zone, that the plan then renews every month or year until you cancel, and that you can cancel from Billing before that date and pay nothing.
  • ImprovedThe plan step suggests the plan that fits the sites you have added, and keeps the plan you picked on the pricing page.
  • ImprovedIf you close checkout without finishing, you can tell us what stopped you in one click.
  • ImprovedWhen a trial starts, we email you when the first charge happens, that the plan renews until you cancel, and how to cancel.
  • ImprovedDuring a trial with a card, Overview, the sidebar and Billing say what happens when it ends: the plan continues at its price from the first charge date, or, once you cancel, the trial ends and you are not charged. A cancellation shows in Billing straight away, with dates in your own time zone.

Search your workspace with Cmd+K

v2.215.0
  • NewPress Cmd+K on a Mac (Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux) anywhere in your workspace to jump to any page, setting or action, or find a monitor, status page or server by name. A search button sits at the top of every page too.
  • ImprovedThe status page Custom CSS box now opens when you have saved CSS, and lists the page parts you can style.
  • ImprovedThe API reference now matches what the API accepts for monitors, maintenance windows and incidents.

More reliable regional workspace access

v2.214.48
  • FixImproved workspace access controls for regional monitoring.
