Review by:
4.5/5

There are multiple reasons to want to monitor a website: perhaps you're looking to get a better deal on a product, or want to keep an eye on a forum thread, and so on. Monitoring can be done manually, but it takes time, and isn't always the most efficient way to go about this.

Solutions to automate all sorts of duties exist, so finding a tool able to "watch" websites for you shouldn't be too hard. WebSite Watcher does just that, and setting everything up is quite intuitive, so you can safely delegate your website monitoring to it without much fuss.

As stated above, this tool is all about monitoring the pages of your choosing. To start off, this is done by creating a Bookmark, which is a process the app will guide you through. Insert the URL of the page that you want to monitor, and select whether it's a normal webpage, or an RSS or Atom feed. Plugin support is enabled, working as an alternative method to watch over a domain. Password-protected pages can still be monitored through the tool, provided you know the authentication details.

Upon setting everything up, you can start implementing filters to watch specific website elements: normal and CSS-based filters can be created. For smoother monitoring, Ignore Filters can likewise be utilized.

There's a lot of granularity to the filtering: the app can watch for whenever there's a change to your highlighted text, as well as monitor a specific selection, based on your start and end points.

Whenever there's an update to the monitored website, the tool will inform you of it. To make the process easier, the Changes tab will directly highlight the page's updated elements.

What's more, the program automatically converts content from Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram into RSS feeds, and this works to make spotting changes easier.

WebSite Watcher is an aptly-named tool, as it efficiently monitors the web pages of your choosing without taking much time with the setup.
