At a glance

  • Checks for required response text
  • Supports HTTP request configuration
  • Useful for content, checkout, and login confidence

How it helps

Use keyword checks for pages where a plain HTTP status is too weak, such as customer portals, checkout pages, or rendered marketing content.

WebGuard can combine keyword validation with expected HTTP status ranges, request timeouts, methods, headers, body, and authentication.

When the keyword disappears, the incident flow and notification channels handle the failure like other monitor types.
