How it works

From signup to full visibility in minutes.

No agents to install on your server and nothing for your developer to configure. Point VanguardPulse at your domain and it takes it from there.

1

Add your website

Enter your domain during signup. VanguardPulse verifies it and schedules your first full health audit automatically — no DNS changes or code required.

2

We watch continuously

Uptime checks, SSL expiry, security headers, performance and SEO are monitored on a schedule matched to your plan, with every change compared against your history.

3

You act with confidence

Issues are triaged by severity in your Action Centre with plain-English explanations, so you know exactly what happened and what to do next — or let VanguardTech handle it for you.

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers before you start.

VanguardPulse is designed to make monitoring understandable, not create another technical dashboard you have to interpret alone.

What is VanguardPulse?

VanguardPulse is VanguardTech's monitoring platform for website health, uptime, SSL, security, performance, issues and infrastructure visibility.

Is the Free plan really free?

Yes. No card is required. Free includes one website, one status monitor, core health scoring, SSL and uptime monitoring. Paid plans add deeper findings, faster checks, reports and advanced monitoring.

What is the difference between monitoring and Managed?

Free, Care and Pro primarily monitor and report. Managed adds the human VanguardTech layer with priority support, backup oversight, hosting integration and an included maintenance allowance.

Can I monitor an IP address or server?

Yes. Status Monitors can track supported HTTP, DNS, ping and TCP services. Paid plans can also expose a controlled view of common public ports for assets already registered to your VanguardPulse account.

Will VanguardPulse alert me if my site goes down?

Yes. Uptime and status monitors support outage and recovery tracking. Email alerts depend on your plan and configured notification settings.

Can I raise a support request?

Plans with Support Tickets enabled can create, track and reply to VanguardTech support tickets directly inside the client portal.

Can agencies resell VanguardPulse?

Yes. The Reseller plan is designed for agencies and IT providers managing multiple customer websites with pooled limits and reseller features.

Can I cancel or downgrade?

Plan changes do not destroy historical monitoring data. Features outside the new plan are hidden or locked while retained history remains available if the account upgrades again.

Why teams switch to VanguardPulse

Fewer surprises. Faster answers.

We used to find out our site was down from a client. Now we know before they do, and we can already say what we're doing about it.

The monthly report is the first thing our director actually reads. It's the difference between saying “IT is handled” and proving it.
