Description
The #1 Change Detector For WordPress
With WebChangeDetector you can check your website before and after updates , installing new plugins, pagespeed optimization or doing other customisations like CSS changes. See all differences marked in a screenshot.
Compare your website before and after the changes. We mark changes in a new screenshot. Next to the compare screenshot you can compare the before and after screenshot in a slider.
Now you can make sure your website looks the way you want after changes – and fix anything that does not, before your visitors do.
- Save troubles with your visitors by letting us check your website after updates – for desktop and mobile screen sizes.
- Save time with checking all pages yourself after some changes.
- Don’t miss sales because of overlooking issues on your site.
You can not only track changes manually. The Auto Change Detection enables you to automatically track changes on every page on your WordPress site. If something changes, we will send you a notification so you can make sure everything looks at it should.
- Start for free with 50 change detections per month.
- Run a change detection to see changes before and after updates at your website.
- Set automatic trackings in intervals, from 1 hour up to 24 hours.
- Check desktop and mobile screen sizes.
- Receive an email alerts for change detections and check the changes.
- Send only alert emails when changes above the threshold settings are detected.
- Share the change detection link with your web designer to fix issues.

I'm tracking a bunch of website changes with this tool. It's affordable and saves me time by automatically checking if stuff broke after updates, especially plugins.

I've been using this plugin for a while now and wouldn't want to miss it. It works and helps to save both time and trouble. Updating my site is much less of a headache now.

This plugin is amazing! I'm managing websites with over 300+ pages and tons of externally embedded forms etc and it's simply impossible to manually keep track of every little issue that might occur after an update or user fault (quite often even something as important as forms go missing). Now I'm simply getting an email with an overview of what has changed on the site and it only takes me a few seconds to notice if something isn't the way it's supposed to be, so I can go directly to the relevant page and fix it.

Finally I've been searching for a tool like this for a long time. It works smoothly and is exactly what I was looking for. I would totally recommend webchangedetector to other people with websites!
