One of the unique features of Oh Dear is that we crawl your entire site and report any broken links. Our broken links report had two main categories: In both categories, the problem is caused by something related to the site's content. In most cases, a page you're linking to was removed or archived. The solution is often letting the content manager of the site fix this. Today, we're introducing a third category in our report: internal broken links that resulted in a 5xx status code.

We implemented a small, but valuable feature requested by some of our users. You can now store some free form notes on a site. When heading over a site's settings, you'll see the new "notes" field.

When you saved notes on a site, we'll show it when hovering over the site on the site list. Of course, you can also get to these notes via the API.

A few months ago, we totally redesigned our service. We didn't to this on our own, but got help from our friends at Digital With You.

You can now change the owner of the team without contacting support. Just head over to the team settings and scroll down.

Some of our users have a lot of sites in their Oh Dear account. A feature often requested is the ability to add a little bit of meta information about each site. To do that, we've introduced the ability to add tags to a site. Tags can be used for instance how important it is to fix a problem with the site immediately. Possible tags could be important or has support contract. Another use case would be to add the technology used, tags could be named wordpress, laravel, js.

In addition to performing various checks to monitor your site, Oh Dear also offers beautiful status pages. Status pages can now use multiple languages. Using these status pages, you can inform your audience about the status of your service. Here's the beautiful Oh Dear powered status page of the Laravel team. Some of our users have a global, multi-lingual audience. That's why we now added support for a status page to be displayed in multiple languages.

Oh Dear has an extensive API that powers various powerful integrations. To use the API, you first need to create an API Token in the Oh Dear UI. Previously, such a token could be used to make API calls to any site or status page in your Oh Dear account. We noticed that some of our users are agencies that use Oh Dear to monitor their clients' sites.

We're proud to announce we have added a new check to our service: Lighthouse SEO. Using this check you can detect (and get solution suggestions) for SEO and performance problems.

As of today, Oh Dear is in a brand new jacket. We've totally redesigned Oh Dear's UI. Our app doesn't only look better, but we've also made it much easier to use. We feel that our new design should speak for itself, so we highly recommend visiting the home page, browsing a bit around, register an account, or log in, and discover the redesigned app yourself. If you've been using Oh Dear before, you'll notice that we polished everything, and the UX should be much better.
