CheckNest
Issue Nº 01 · Field Notes

Smart website checks for the pages that matter.

CheckNest watches the important parts of your small website — pages, links, forms, text, SSL, and domain health — so you know when something breaks. Not when a server blinks. When the contact form goes missing.

A real-feeling report card. No graphs, no jargon.

Chapter One

Your site can be "up"
and still be broken.

A green dot on someone's monitor doesn't mean a visitor can find your phone number.

Contact form
/contact

Disappeared after a plugin update. Visitors had no way to reach the office for nine days.

Donate button
/give

Removed by accident during a redesign. Donations dropped 30 % until someone noticed.

Booking link
/book

Pointed to a third-party page that quietly went 404. The homepage looked fine; the funnel didn't.

SSL certificate
9 days

About to expire. Browsers were days away from showing a giant red warning to every visitor.

Homepage hero
/

Showed "critical error" in faint grey text. Page returned 200 OK. No dashboard would have caught it.

These are silent failures.

Traditional uptime tools don't see them. CheckNest is built specifically to catch them.

Chapter Two

Check the things visitors actually use.

CheckNest lets you watch the pages, links, forms, and text that matter most. Start with smart suggestions, then add your own.

No dashboards to learn. No alert fatigue. Just answers.

Page load checks

Did the page actually return a real response in a sensible time?

Important text checks

"Sunday 10:30 AM," your phone number, your tagline — still there?

Missing & error text

Catches "critical error," "database error," "under construction" before visitors do.

Link checks

Donate, Book, Contact — the links that pay your bills work where they point.

Form presence checks

If your contact form vanishes, you'll know within minutes — not weeks.

SSL & domain checks

Get a heads-up before browsers start scaring your customers.

Discovering · 4 of 8 pages
  • Found /contact with a form. Suggesting "Contact form exists".
    Why: the form is your primary way to reach the parish office.
  • Found service times in /about. Suggesting "Sunday 10:30 AM still visible".
    Why: visitors check this before showing up.
  • Found a Donate button on /. Suggesting "Donate link target loads".
    Why: donations are how the parish keeps the lights on.
  • Noticed "under construction" language on /events. Suggesting a missing-text check.
    Why: this phrase shouldn't reach visitors.
CheckNest will suggest 6 checks. You stay in control. Review & edit →
Chapter Three · Smart discovery

Set up checks faster. Stay in control.

Enter your address. CheckNest reads your homepage and a handful of important pages, then suggests checks in plain English. You review them, edit them, or ignore them.

We don't promise AI fixes your website. We just help you set up checks quickly — and you decide what's worth watching.
