SiteDash feature
Site monitoring for MODX sites
After you connect a site, SiteDash keeps its configuration and health data up to date on a schedule driven by your plan, then runs automated checks on every refresh.
- One month free, full access
- No payment method to start
- Built for MODX agencies
Refresh, analyse, alert
SiteDash pulls live data from each connected site through the SiteDash Client, enriches it with DNS and certificate probes, and compares it against our MODX and Extras catalogues. Problems surface in the Action Center instead of in a client's inbox.
Manual refreshes are one click away when you have just deployed a change.
What we collect on each refresh
Core version, manager URL, installed packages, providers, and available updates.
PHP version, limits, disk space, hostname, and database server information.
HTTPS status, SSL metadata, nameservers, A/AAAA records, and sudo usernames.
- Error log size
- User counts
- Session table health
- Site notes
- Package version history
Beyond the refresh
Scheduled and on-demand jobs add depth without extra plugins on your side:
- Weekly Lighthouse homepage audits
- Monthly deliverability tests through MODX mail
- On-demand database table and collation checks
- Optional extended monitoring (per site, EU or US clusters)
Material changes are logged in the per-site activity log so you can see who changed what and when.
