User Guide

Tap any site card on the main screen to open its full diagnostic view. This is where a single check becomes a complete picture — not just whether the site is up or down, but why: response time, HTTP status, DNS resolution, the SSL certificate chain, the redirect path, and whether common ports are open. If a site feels slow, the Speed Trace here breaks down exactly where the time is going.

The Dashboard turns your monitoring history into interactive charts. Switch between response times and SSL expiries, spot your slowest sites, and see which certificates are closest to running out. Long-press any bar on the response-time or SSL chart to see the site name and its exact value, and open any chart full-screen for a cleaner look.

Control how often BeyondSite checks your sites. A shorter interval means you find out about problems sooner; a longer one is gentler on battery and data. Automatic checks run in the background, even while the app is closed.

Taking a site offline on purpose? Pause monitoring for a set period so a planned outage does not trigger a flood of alerts. Monitoring resumes automatically when the timer ends.

Set the thresholds that decide when BeyondSite warns you. Three levels — green, yellow, and red — each carry their own SSL-expiry day range. The app enforces red ≤ yellow ≤ green so the levels can never overlap or conflict. Your thresholds decide when a push notification is sent to your device.

Email alerts are on the way. This screen is the groundwork for them and shows a Coming soon notice for now. At the moment your alerts arrive as push notifications, telling you as soon as something goes wrong.

Look up and validate a domain’s DNS records, including A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, CAA, and SOA. BeyondSite checks DNSSEC signing, compares results across global resolvers for propagation consistency, and keeps a history of changes. Enable 24-hour auto-monitoring to be told the moment a record changes.

Run a deep, single-domain security scan entirely on your device. The scan produces a graded report covering your certificate chain, TLS configuration, and other security signals. Past scans are saved so you can review, export, share, or delete them.

Scan every site in a category in one go and get a PDF report. The report includes a section for each site plus a “Differences Across Sites” summary, so you can quickly spot where one site diverges from the rest.

Run SMTP handshake diagnostics against a mail server. BeyondSite checks the banner, reverse DNS, TLS support, and open-relay behaviour, then reports each with a colour-coded pass or fail indicator.

Quickly test whether a host is reachable and how long it takes to respond. Useful before adding a site permanently, or when you want a second opinion on connectivity.

Logs keep your most recent monitoring results — the five latest checks are shown, with the full total just above them. Clear them when you want a fresh start, or import and export them for safekeeping and analysis.

See the push notifications BeyondSite has raised today, with controls to manage how they are cleaned up automatically. Pause the automatic removal, clear everything, or resume at any time.

Organise your sites into categories such as Work, Home, Live, Test, or Dev. Categories keep the site list tidy and power the Group Security Scan.

Move your sites and alert settings in or out as CSV. Export for backup or sharing, and import to restore — with the free-tier site limit applied on import so you never exceed your plan.

A single checklist of everything the app needs to monitor in the background and send notifications — with the current OS-reported state and a tap-through to the right settings screen.
