Website Verification
Product
Plan
What is my plan?
To protect our users’ websites and to prevent abuse, certain Conductor Monitoring features require websites to be verified in order to use the features.
Features requiring website verification
The Conductor Monitoring features that require website verification are:
- JavaScript Rendering
- Raising the Monitoring speed above 100%
- Setting a custom user-agent string
JavaScript Rendering
Enabling JavaScript Rendering allows Conductor Monitoring to pick up elements from both the HTML source code as well as the full rendered DOM. You can read more about this here: JavaScript Rendering
Executing JavaScript assets on websites increases the data traffic of Conductor Monitoring’s monitoring and—if configured incorrectly—can also lead to analytics data inflation. For this reason you can only enable JavaScript Rendering on verified websites.
Raising the Monitoring speed above 100%
Conductor Monitoring monitors websites continuously. The speed with which Conductor Monitoring crawls your website depends on your website’s size, web server’s capacity and the Monitoring speed setting which you can control. You can read more about this setting here: Monitoring speed and frequency
By default, the Monitoring speed for any website you add to Conductor Monitoring is set to 100%. You can fully control this setting and lower the speed if necessary.
However, if you want Conductor Monitoring to crawl your website faster than 100%, you first need to verify the website.
After the website is verified, the Monitoring speed can be set up to 1,000%.
Important
Raising the Monitoring speed above 100% should be done with caution.
While Conductor Monitoring will be able to detect changes on your website faster, there will also be significantly more requests sent to your server.
Setting a Custom User-agent
Browsers and web crawlers such as Conductor Monitoring send a special identification, called the user-agent string, to the website they’re accessing. More about this here: User-agent string
Conductor Monitoring allows you to choose from a variety of predefined user-agent strings which you can set for a website.
You can also use a fully custom user-agent string. However, to enable this option for a website, the website needs to be verified first.
How to verify a website in Conductor Monitoring
You can verify the website in two ways:
1. Enable the Google Search Console integration
To enable the Google Search Console integration, go to the Integrations tab of the Settings section.
2. Install the Cloudflare Worker if your website is running on Cloudflare.
To enable the Log File Analysis feature and install the Cloudflare Worker, please follow the steps outlined in the Log File Analysis article.
