What is Page Canary?
Page Canary is an AI QA agent for public websites that tests pages and customer journeys in a real browser. Page Canary serves website owners and teams that need to find broken flows, links, JavaScript errors and mobile problems, including shops, SaaS businesses, small sites and agencies.
Page Canary checks more than whether a URL responds. Browser-based checks examine what visitors encounter when loading pages or moving through a booking, checkout, signup or contact flow. Recordings show each walkthrough, and reports explain detected problems rather than reporting availability alone.
What Page Canary can do
Page Canary combines scheduled customer-flow testing with page-level and site-wide checks. Weekly walkthroughs examine the main action visitors come to complete, while daily checks load key pages on desktop and mobile. Page Canary also provides email alerts with fix steps and a weekly report.

How Page Canary works
Page Canary starts with a pasted website URL and discovers pages and the critical flow without code or setup. Page Canary walks that flow weekly and loads up to 15 key pages daily on desktop and mobile. The website also describes testing after deployments or whenever requested.
Page Canary stops before a booking or purchase is completed and never creates an account. Contact forms send only with permission. Once a problem appears on two checks, Page Canary sends an email explaining the issue and how to fix it, followed by a note when the problem is resolved.
