Weekly health scans
71+ checks
Comprehensive analysis every week — SEO, security, performance, accessibility, legal compliance, AI visibility — with helpful fix guides and effort estimates.
Domain & SSL protection
Always watching
Certificate expiry, DNS drift, nameserver changes, domain renewal deadlines, and email trust (SPF/DKIM/DMARC) — caught before they break trust.
71+ checks. 8 categories. Zero noise.
Every check runs automatically on your weekly scan. Results arrive ranked by severity with clear fix guidance — no dashboards to monitor.

Uptime Monitoring
Know in 60 seconds.
Know in 60 seconds.
Not 60 minutes.
Most uptime tools just ping and forget. Scavo verifies recovery, gives you incident context, and respects your maintenance windows — so you get useful alerts, not alert fatigue.
- 1-minute probes on Team plans (hourly on Solo)
- Recovery verification confirms your site is truly back before closing an incident
- Maintenance windows schedule downtime without triggering false alerts
- 30-day SLA tracking with uptime percentage and response time trends
- Incident timeline every outage logged with duration, response codes, and recovery proof
Alerts where your team already lives.
No new tab to check. Route incidents, recoveries, and scheduled reports to the channels and recipients each website actually needs.
Weekly or monthly reports to site-specific recipients, plus downtime alerts within 60 seconds when something actually breaks.
IncludedSlack
One-click OAuth connect. Route downtime alerts, recovery confirmations, and site-level signals to the channel that owns that website.
OAuthDiscord
Webhook-powered alerts land in your server. Perfect for dev teams who live in Discord.
WebhookWebhooks
Push JSON payloads to any endpoint — connect Scavo to Zapier, n8n, PagerDuty, or your own internal tooling.
JSON
Status Pages
Keep clients in the loop.
Keep clients in the loop.
Without the inbox noise.
Give clients and stakeholders a live, public view of uptime, response times, and site health — updated automatically. No login needed, no awkward "is it down?" emails.
Per-site or grouped
One page per client, or combine multiple sites on a single dashboard
Live uptime & response
30-day uptime bars, average response times, and incident counts — all real-time
Health check transparency
Show passing, failing, and warning checks so clients see exactly what's happening
Password protection
Lock pages behind a password when you need privacy with accountability
Domain & Trust Layer
The silent failures
The silent failures
most tools miss.
An expired SSL certificate breaks trust in seconds. A hijacked nameserver is invisible until it's too late. Scavo watches the infrastructure layer that sits beneath your visible site.
SSL certificate expiry
Alerts weeks before expiry so renewals never slip
DNS & nameserver integrity
Detects A-record drift and unexpected NS changes
Domain registration
Monitors renewal deadlines across all your domains
Email authentication
SPF, DKIM, and DMARC validation prevents spoofing
Legal & Compliance
Cookie consent gaps
Cookie consent gaps
found before regulators do.
GDPR fines, CCPA complaints, and privacy audits don't announce themselves. Scavo's legal compliance checks surface consent-banner issues, pre-consent tracking, and missing disclosures every week — so you can fix them before they become a problem.
Cookie consent validation
Checks your consent banner meets GDPR, PECR, and CCPA expectations
Pre-consent tracking detection
Spots trackers that fire before visitors grant consent
Privacy policy disclosure
Confirms your policy is linked, accessible, and covers key frameworks
California opt-out (CCPA)
Validates “Do Not Sell” links and Global Privacy Control handling
Scavo highlights potential compliance gaps to help you stay informed — it does not provide legal advice. Always consult a qualified legal professional for regulatory guidance.
New checks ship themselves.
When AI crawlers update, search engines change, or browsers evolve — Scavo's research layer detects the signal, engineers a check, and ships it to your account. No upgrade. No extra cost.
