schedule

frequency

Quick answer#

Hourly for pricing and checkout, daily for marketing pages, weekly for legal and about pages. Higher frequency uses more of your plan's capture quota.

What it controls#

How often Lemwatch loads and screenshots the page

How quickly you'll be alerted after a change

How much of your monthly capture allowance the page consumes

Where to find it in Lemwatch#

Visual Monitoring → [page] → Settings → Frequency.

How to pick#

Hourly — pricing pages, checkout flows, promo banners.

Every 6 hours — homepages, high-traffic landing pages.

Daily — feature pages, blog index.

Weekly — terms, privacy, about, careers.

Save. Change any time without losing baseline.

FAQ#

How does frequency affect billing?#

Each capture counts against your plan's monthly quota. Hourly on 5 pages = 3,600 captures/month.

Can I pause captures without deleting the monitor?#

Yes — toggle Paused on the page. Baseline is preserved.
