Every website change, graded by SEO impact.
Most monitors tell you something changed. ChangeGrade tells you whether it matters for SEO, so a removed H1 never hides behind a rotating banner again.
Free plan: 3 pages, daily checks, email alerts. No card needed.
H1 heading removed
What is ChangeGrade?
ChangeGrade is a website change-monitoring tool for SEO. It checks your pages on a schedule, detects changes to SEO elements such as the title tag, meta description, headings, links and schema, and grades each change HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW by likely SEO impact.
You choose which grades trigger an alert, by email on every plan, or Slack and Discord on Pro. Every monitored page can also have a public change-history page that anyone can view without logging in.
Why most change alerts get ignored
A cookie banner updates. A footer date rolls over. A carousel rotates. A general change monitor flags all of it, so your team learns to skim alerts or mute them.
Then a template release ships on a Thursday. The H1 on your top category page disappears, a nav link to a key page is dropped, and a title tag is replaced with a CMS default. The alert for that was in the pile.
ChangeGrade watches the parts of a page that affect search, and ranks what it finds so the important change is the first thing you read.
Non-SEO noise discarded automatically. Only modifications that alter core ranking signals trigger notifications to your team.
How ChangeGrade grades a change: HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW
Each check compares the page to its last version across these elements: title, meta description, H1 and H2 headings, word count, body text, internal links, external links, images and schema types.
Every detected change is graded by fixed rules, not AI. The same change always gets the same grade, so you can predict it and audit it.
| Grade | Example change | Why it can matter |
|---|---|---|
| HIGH | Title tag rewritten on /pricing | Changes the text searchers see and the page's main relevance signal |
| HIGH | H1 removed from a category page | Removes the page's primary on-page heading |
| MEDIUM | 3 internal nav links removed | Fewer internal paths to the linked pages |
| MEDIUM | Product schema type removed | Can affect eligibility for rich results |
| LOW | 40 words added to body copy | Worth a record, rarely urgent |
| LOW | One image swapped in a blog post | Logged, no alert unless you want one |
Share a page's full change history with one link
Every monitored page can have a public change-history page. Anyone with the link sees each change, its date, its grade, and the before and after. No account, no login.
Send it to a client who asks whether anything changed on their site. Send it to a developer to show exactly which release removed a heading. It replaces screenshots and long email threads with one dated record.
- Viewable by link, no login for the viewer
- Dated, graded entries with before and after
- You choose which pages are public

Who ChangeGrade is for
In-house SEO teams
A release strips an H1 or rewrites a title. You see it graded HIGH on the next check, not weeks later in a traffic report.
SEO agencies
Monitor client sites and answer "did anything change?" with a dated public link.
E-commerce teams
Watch product and category pages for title, schema and copy changes after catalog updates.
Outreach and link building
Get alerted when a target site publishes a new page or changes its links.
How ChangeGrade compares to other ways of tracking changes
If you already use a general change monitor or Search Console, this is where ChangeGrade fits.
| Approach | Best for | What it does not tell you |
|---|---|---|
| General website change monitors | Watching any page for any visual or text change | Usually not which changes matter for SEO, so you sort alerts yourself |
| Google Search Console | How Google indexes and shows your pages, and the queries they get | What changed on the page itself, and when |
| SEO site crawlers / audits | Finding technical issues across a whole site at a point in time | A continuous, per-page record of what changed between checks |
| ChangeGrade | Watching key pages for SEO element changes, graded HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW, with a shareable record | Rankings, traffic, or a full-site technical audit |
ChangeGrade is built to run next to Search Console and a crawler. Each answers a different question.
What ChangeGrade does not do
Free and Pro plans
Start on Free. Move to Pro when you need more pages, faster checks or team access. Every limit is listed.
Who builds ChangeGrade
ChangeGrade is built by Muhammad Ali, an SEO specialist. It started as the tool he wanted for his own client work: one that flags the changes that matter for search and skips the rest.
Frequently asked questions
How does ChangeGrade decide what is HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW?
Every check evaluates changes against fixed rules based on SEO impact. High impact changes include title tag updates or removed H1 headings. Medium impact includes removed internal navigation links or altered schema types. Low impact includes small body copy additions or single image replacements.
How often does ChangeGrade check my pages?
The Free plan checks your pages daily. On the Pro plan, you can choose check cadences of hourly, every 12 hours, or daily per page.
Can I monitor pages that require a login?
Yes, behind-login monitoring is supported on the Pro plan via authenticated sessions and custom headers.
How does the public change-history page work?
Every monitored page can have an optional public change-history link. Anyone with the URL can view dated before-and-after change records without creating an account or logging in.
Can I filter alerts so I only get notified for HIGH impact changes?
Yes. You can set a minimum impact threshold per monitor. Changes below your chosen threshold are recorded in the history log without cluttering your inbox or Slack channel.
Does ChangeGrade replace my rank tracking or site crawler?
No. ChangeGrade watches the actual page elements between audits. It runs alongside Google Search Console, rank trackers, and technical audit crawlers.
What notifications are supported?
Email alerts are included on all plans including Free. Pro plans also include native Slack and Discord webhooks and channel notifications.
How do I add pages to monitor?
You can paste URLs directly, scan an XML sitemap to select target URLs, or specify CSS selectors to isolate and watch specific page sections.
Is a credit card required for the Free plan?
No credit card is required to sign up or use the Free plan for 3 pages.
