Adding Your First Site

Step-by-step guide to adding a website for monitoring.

Adding Your First Site

Step 1: Click "Add Site"

From your dashboard, click the "Add Site" button in the top-right corner, or use the keyboard shortcut N.

Step 2: Enter Your URL

LemWatch accepts any format:

• Full URL: https://www.example.com
• Domain only: example.com (we add https:// automatically)
• Subdomains: blog.example.com, app.example.com

Step 3: Auto-Detection

LemWatch automatically detects:

• CMS — WordPress, Shopify, Wix, etc.
• Hosting provider — AWS, Cloudflare, Vercel, Netlify
• Robots.txt and sitemap locations
• SSL certificate details

Step 4: Configure (Optional)

• Check frequency — Depends on your plan (60min free, 15min Pro, 5min Agency)
• Tags — Organise with labels like "production", "staging", "client"
• Groups — Assign to a group for batch management

Step 5: First Results

Your first comprehensive check runs within 2 minutes. You'll immediately see:

• Health score with category breakdown
• Any critical issues flagged with "FIX FIRST" badges
• Actionable recommendations sorted by impact

Adding Multiple Sites

• Bulk import (Pro+): Go to Settings → Import Sites and upload a CSV with one URL per row
• Quick add: Use the N keyboard shortcut to rapidly add sites one after another

What Happens After Adding

LemWatch schedules recurring checks at your plan's interval. You'll receive alerts if any metric degrades below your configured thresholds.
