Uptime and certificate checks
Uptime checked every minute and certificate expiry tracked, with alerts well before a renewal deadline.
The Problem
You Hear About Website Problems From Customers, Not From Alerts
It shows up when a customer emails about a browser warning, a page fills with spam links overnight, or a script nobody added starts loading on checkout.
Silent outages
Downtime reaches you through an angry customer email.
Silent outages
Uptime checks every minute alert your on-call contact as soon as the site drops.
Blacklist warning
Google warns visitors away before your team notices.
Blacklist warning
Daily blacklist checks catch a Safe Browsing flag, and we explain the next step.
Changed scripts
A tag starts loading code from a new domain.
Changed scripts
Script changes on key pages trigger an alert showing the old and new source.
Quiet defacement
Spam links appear on pages nobody checks.
Quiet defacement
Page content is compared to a clean baseline, so injected links get flagged.
Your site went down on Saturday night, and you found out from a customer on Monday. Last month, Google showed a red warning on your homepage for a whole weekend before anyone noticed. Your certificate renewal has failed once already. A marketing tag you added years ago now loads code from a domain nobody recognizes. Each problem was visible from outside. Nobody was looking.
We start with what visitors and Google see: uptime, certificates, blacklist status, page content, third-party scripts, and DNS. Uptime gets checked every minute, and the rest on a set schedule. Critical alerts reach your on-call contact as soon as checks fail, and an engineer reviews every alert on business days with a written note. You hear about problems from us, not from your customers.
Six outside signals watched
Uptime, certificates, blacklists, page content, third-party scripts, and DNS records on every site.
Critical alerts reach you first
Downtime, expiry, and blacklist alerts go to your on-call contact as soon as checks fail.
A note on every alert
An engineer reviews each alert on business days and writes what changed and what to do.
Our Website Security Monitoring Process
From Exposure Check to Monthly Report in Five Clear Steps
You choose who gets critical alerts, see the baseline we compare against, and get a written note for every alert we review.
We check your site from the outside: uptime history, certificate expiry, blacklist status, DNS records, and the third-party scripts on your key pages. You get a short note and a fixed monthly price. If a free uptime checker covers what you need, we'll tell you before we quote.
What's Included
What You Get With Website Security and Uptime Monitoring
Uptime and certificate checks, blacklist monitoring, page and script change detection, DNS alerts, engineer review of every alert, and a monthly report you can forward to your team.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built websites, platforms, and apps for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Site Owners Trust Us With Website Security Protection
Monitoring only helps when alerts are real and someone acts on them. These habits keep the signal clear and your team out of alert fatigue.
Tuned alerts, not noise
We adjust thresholds in your first week until alerts mean something. A channel full of false alarms trains everyone to ignore the real one.
Honest about nights
Automated checks run all night and alert your on-call contact. Engineers review alerts on business days, and we say that plainly before you sign up.
Outside-in, like a visitor
We watch what your visitors and Google see, from servers outside your hosting. If your host goes down, our checks don't go down with it.
Written notes, not just pings
Each alert gets a short note: what changed, whether it matters, and what to do. You can forward it to your developer as is.
Fixes at the source
If the same alert keeps firing, we tell you what to fix instead of watching it month after month. Fewer alerts is the goal.
Your data, your accounts
Monitoring accounts, alert channels, and reports stay in your name. If you leave, you keep the history and the setup.

Good fit
Small businesses without an IT team
Your website brings in leads or sales, and nobody on your team checks it for security problems until something breaks.
Stores that can't afford downtime
Your online store loses orders while it's down, and you want website security and uptime monitoring with a person reading the alerts.
Teams comparing monitoring options
You're comparing a website security service with a free uptime checker and want to know what each one actually catches.
Agencies hosting client sites
Your agency hosts client sites and wants security for websites you don't open every day, with alerts routed to the right person.
Owners who were hacked before
Your site was cleaned up after a hack, and you want to know within a day if anything changes again.
Not a fit
Need network monitoring
You need office devices, firewalls, and cloud sign-ins watched, not just your website. Our Cyber Security Monitoring Services cover your network.
Need a one-time audit
You want a full review of admins, plugins, and server settings once. Our Website Security Audit Services deliver a ranked report from $450.
Want updates and backups
You mainly need plugin updates and backups each month. Our Website Maintenance Services cover that, with uptime checks included, from $250 per month.
Hobby site, no revenue
Your site is a personal or hobby project with no sales or leads. A free uptime checker and Search Console alerts are enough.

Website security monitoring from DeveloperLook starts at $350 per month for one site. That covers minute-by-minute uptime checks, certificate, blacklist, page, script, and DNS alerts, and engineer review of every alert on business days. The $650 per month plan covers up to 3 sites with 2 response hours. The $950 per month plan covers up to 10 sites with 6 response hours.
Setup takes 2 to 3 business days for one site. We record a clean baseline of your key pages, scripts, and DNS, connect the checks, and route alerts to the people you choose. Your first week is for tuning, so alerts settle down before your first monthly report at 30 days.
Monitor your website from the outside, the way visitors and Google see it. Track uptime and certificate expiry, check blacklists such as Google Safe Browsing, and compare your key pages to a clean baseline for injected links or redirects. Watch which third-party scripts load and from where. Then make sure someone reads each alert, because unread alerts protect nothing.
You monitor website security with automated checks, then respond by sorting each alert into real threat, false alarm, or planned change. Critical alerts, like downtime or a blacklist hit, should reach an on-call person right away. Then confirm the cause, contain it, fix it, and write down what happened. Our plans include a written note for every alert.
You monitor third-party scripts by listing every script source on your key pages and alerting when one changes. The polyfill.io incident in June 2024 showed the risk: a trusted script domain changed owners and served malicious code to sites that loaded it. Pin static scripts with Subresource Integrity where you can, and review each new source before it stays.
You do a security audit by checking a site from outside and inside, then ranking what you find. Outside checks cover headers, certificates, exposed files, and known flaws in your platform. Inside checks cover admin accounts, plugins or apps, and server settings. A web site security audit is a one-time review, which our Website Security Audit Services cover.
Yes, the automated checks run at night and on weekends, and critical alerts reach your on-call contact as soon as they fire. Our engineers review every alert on business days. If you need a person responding overnight, a round-the-clock provider fits you better, and we'll say so before you sign up.
A security plugin works inside your site, and monitoring watches from outside. A plugin adds security for website files and logins, but it goes down with your site and an attacker can switch it off. Outside monitoring keeps checking uptime, certificates, blacklists, and page content when your site can't report anything. Many sites benefit from both.
You'll get an alert within a day, because every plan checks Google Safe Browsing and other major blocklists daily. Search Console also shows a Security Issues report, and we watch it when you give us access. When a flag appears, we find the cause, and on plans with response hours we clean it up and help you request a review.
An engineer confirms it and sends you a written note with the cause and the fix. On the $650 and $950 plans, we use your monthly response hours to remove injected code, restore a changed page, or roll back a bad script. Larger incidents, such as a full malware cleanup, get a fixed quote before we start.
