See only what changed since the last scan
PixyScan compares every scan with the one before and sorts each problem into New, Resolved and Still open. Scans run daily, weekly or monthly in your own timezone, and an alert tells you when the score drops.
Does this sound familiar?
The first audit gives you a list. The second gives you the same list again, and you have to find the three lines that are different.
- A release removes a page title on Tuesday. Nobody looks until the monthly review.
- You read 200 problems you already knew about to find the 4 that are new.
- Someone has to remember to start the scan.
How it works
How it works, in three steps
PixyScan scans your site on a schedule and shows only what changed since the last scan.
- Step 1
Pick a schedule
Open the site's Settings, then the Schedule tab. Choose daily, weekly or monthly, and a start time in your own timezone. PixyScan then scans on its own, and nobody needs to be signed in.
- Step 2
Read what changed
Open the Changes view. Problems are sorted into New, Resolved and Still open, so you start with what is new.
- Step 3
Turn on alerts
On the Alerts tab, switch on email alerts. Paste a Slack or webhook address to send the same alerts there too.
What you get
What you get with it
A problem added by a release shows up within days, not months. You only read what is new, not the whole list again.
- 01
What changed since last time
Each scan is compared with the one before. The Changes view sorts problems into New, Resolved and Still open. It also lists pages whose key details changed.
- 02
A schedule for each site
Pick daily, weekly or monthly, at a time in your own timezone. Nobody needs to be signed in. If a scan is missed, PixyScan runs it once when it can, not once per missed slot.
- 03
Alerts by email, Slack or webhook
Get told when a scan finishes or fails, the score drops, or a new critical problem appears. With Search Console connected, from Basic up, you can also hear when Google clicks drop after a deploy. Emails go to the site's members. The same alerts can go to Slack or to any https webhook (a web address that receives the alert).
- 04
A minimum score for each site
Each site has a score threshold, 97 unless you change it. A scan below it raises an alert in the app. You change the number under Settings → CLI & CI/CD, from Basic up.
Which tiers include it
Hobby, Basic, Pro and Enterprise. Alerts work on every tier, Free included.
- Scheduled scans and scan comparison start on Hobby.
- On Free you can still start a scan yourself at any time.
- Alerts by email, Slack or webhook work on every tier.
- Changing the minimum score (the Score gate) needs Basic or above. It is 97 by default.
- The alert for Google clicks dropping after a deploy needs deploys from CI/CD (Basic and above) and Search Console connected.
What it doesn’t do
- No SMS or phone alerts. Point the webhook at another tool if you need one.
- No alert for one specific check. Scan alerts cover four events: scan finished, scan failed, score dropped and new critical problem.
- The below-minimum-score alert shows in the app only, not by email, Slack or webhook.
- It does not track rankings and has no backlink data. Its only traffic alert is a sharp drop in Google clicks after a deploy.
Why use it
When it helps
Everyday moments where it saves you time or catches a problem early.
Catch mistakes after a release
A release can remove a page title or hide a page from search engines. The next scan finds it, and a new critical problem sends an alert.
Look after many sites
Give each site its own schedule. After each scan, read the New column in the Changes view, not the whole list.
Show that a fix stayed fixed
Scan history keeps every scan, so you can show when a problem went away. If it comes back, it shows as New.

Changes
The Changes view compares two scans of your site. It shows which problems are new, which you fixed and which are still open, and what changed on each page.
Monitor
Scan history
Scan history lists every scan of your site, newest first, with its status and score. Open a past scan and every view shows your site as it was that day.
Manage
Site alerts
Site alerts is the inbox for one site. Every scan gets one row that sums up what happened: finished, failed, a lower score, or a new critical problem. Click a row to jump to the screen that explains it.
Questions
Common questions
Short answers about tiers, setup and limits.
Which tiers include scheduled scans?
Hobby and above. On Free you start each scan yourself, whenever you like.
Will I get an email?
Yes, if you switch it on. Site members can get an email when a scan finishes or fails, when the score drops or when a new critical problem appears. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link.
What if a scheduled scan fails or is missed?
A failed scan is marked as failed in Scan history, and the scan-failed alert goes out if it is on. Missed scans are made up with one single scan, not one for every missed slot.
Can it warn me when search traffic drops?
Only after a deploy, from Basic up, with Search Console connected. If Google clicks in the 3 days after a deploy from CI/CD fall at least 25% below the same days of the previous 4 weeks, you get one alert. It arrives about a week after the deploy, because Google's newest figures are provisional.
What does Regressed mean?
It marks a problem that was already failing last time and now affects more pages than before.
Will regular scans slow my site down?
A scan reads your pages the way a search engine does. If your server struggles, turn on Rate limit healing in Settings → Crawl, so pages are fetched one at a time with a delay you choose.
