Introduction
Learn what MetricPoints does and how CSP monitoring and event tracking fit together.
Introduction to MetricPoints
MetricPoints is an agency website-assurance platform that helps you monitor client sites from the outside first, then add browser beacon or WordPress plugin evidence when deeper proof is needed.
Key Features
- External Site Checks: Monitor uptime (including 200 error documents), TLS, domains, DNS, redirects, indexability, security headers, assets, browser render, journey controls, search, booking embeds, analytics collect requests, public reputation, and configured journeys without installing code first
- Portfolio Triage: See which client sites are critical, need review, have coverage gaps, or may share an infrastructure problem
- Browser Event Tracking: Monitor JavaScript events with grouped reports and debugging context
- CSP Monitoring: Track Content Security Policy violations and optimize your browser protections
- Managed CSP on csp-heal: Use the hosted CSP option when server or CDN headers are hard to change
- Performance Metrics: Monitor Core Web Vitals and other performance indicators
- Site Health: Follow uptime, document health, journeys, search, booking, SSL, DNS, domains, and security-header signals
- Site Incident Alerts: Route open site incidents to email, Slack webhooks, or SMS where your package allows
- Team Collaboration: Share insights with your development team
