Synthetic monitoring for your vital click flows
Broken signup forms and flaky shopping carts are extremely frustrating to your customers. With Checkly's Browser checks you can accurately simulate interaction with your site and validate the correctness and performance of all your crucial click paths.
Real browsers
Your checks are run in actual Chrome browsers to achieve a 100% match with real world conditions. We run each session in a sealed off sandbox for extra security.
Validate all the things
In a Browser check you can check for specific content items, browser responses, visibility and error responses.
Screenshots
Take a screenshot at any stage in your transaction for quick and easy reference. You can take full page shots, or just a specific page element for more focus.
Monitor globally
We monitor your transactions from data center locations around the world.
CI/CD integration
Integrate your Browser checks into your QA or continuous delivery process by triggering adhoc runs from GitHub or the command line.
Coding optional
Use our browser plugin to record a script and import it into Checkly. Want more control? Dive into the code and tweak your script to perfection.
How it works
Checkly uses the Puppeteer & Playwright frameworks to accurately simulate interactions with a Chrome browser. Getting a monitoring script going is a lot easier than you might think. Just follow the steps below and you'll be up in no time.
Create a script
Pick one of the examples from our built-in library as your starting point. Alternatively, you can install and fire up the Headless Recorder browser extension and record a script in real-time as you click through your site.
Tweak it
Use our in app debugger to iterate on your script and directly see the results. Add extra assertions, screenshots and navigation actions. Add the industry standard Mocha and Chai libraries for a familiar workflow.
Run it every ten minutes
Schedule your script to run as often as every ten minutes. A regular interval gives you an accurate insight into how your vital transactions are performing over time. We also give you full access to the log files for each run in case an alert is triggered.
