What is Hexometer?
Hexometer is an AI-powered website monitoring service that acts as a 24/7 sidekick for businesses, scanning sites for errors, glitches, and performance issues across over 2800 data points. It checks server response times, loading speeds, JavaScript errors, HTTP codes, missing files, blacklists, DNS records, meta tags, W3C validation, SSL certificates, and more, providing comprehensive health monitoring without requiring software installation. Unlike basic uptime tools, it simulates real user experiences from various global locations and devices to detect device- or location-specific problems early.
Key features include continuous monitoring of availability, performance, user experience (UX), health (broken links, JS errors, missing images), SEO, and security vulnerabilities. Users receive real-time alerts via email, SMS, Slack, Telegram, or Trello when issues arise, including tech stack changes or page speed degradation. It supports standard monitors for uptime and advanced ones for keywords, transactions, and UX checks like spelling errors or mobile-friendliness.
Hexometer is designed for eCommerce owners, digital marketers, agencies, and any online business needing peace of mind from technical glitches that hurt conversions and ad spend. Agencies benefit from multi-client dashboards, scalability, and white-label audit options. Trusted by over 20,000 businesses, it helps optimize landing pages, fix hidden bugs, and maintain pristine digital assets to boost sales and reduce costs.
