Changelog #9 — Domain reports on sites, onboarding tour, and app polish

The first half of May was mostly in-app work: domain roll-up reports on sites you monitor, a first-run tour for new customer accounts, and small fixes on site screens, test history, and in-app messages. On the public site we added feature pages and blog month archives so prospects can read product detail without signing in.

Domain reports on monitored sites

Changelog #8 added domain reports for leads management and prospecting. Early May brought the same pattern to customer organisations and the sites they monitor.

Open a monitored site in the app and you will see domain reports listed with pages and budgets. Generate an aggregated report for that hostname without treating it as a one-off lead. The share page, email HTML, and PDF (when enabled for your account) all use the same report body, so you are not maintaining two layouts.

PDF export is implemented in beta and will be released gradually to test groups in the second half of May. The report builder now supports customer-scoped runs, not only lead-scoped ones. If you already send per-site output through reporting and exports, this is the domain-wide version: one summary across the URLs you track on that domain.

Site screen updates

We simplified the site detail screen in the app. Pages, performance budgets, and discovery (for sysadmin accounts) are now grouped in one tab bar. Budgets were previously shown in a separate block above the other tabs; we removed that stack. Organisation and domain names link to the live site; the budget edit form no longer breaks when you pick an alert channel. From budgets or latest tests you can open the domain report on the same site without navigating through unrelated menus.

Test results and failed runs

The test results list and the job that runs PageSpeed were updated so failed or partial lab runs are easier to see in the app. That follows late April quota work (API access and quota visibility): if a run finishes without a score, you should see that in test history, not only in the usage counter. The lab and field framing we use in product copy is on the Core Web Vitals monitoring page.

Onboarding tour for new accounts

New customer accounts get a short guided tour in the app. Completion is saved on the user record. The tour covers monitoring, sites, and the actions most teams need first; anyone can replay it from the top bar.

We fixed sign-in while releasing the tour so login behaves the same across environments. Agencies and small teams are the main audience; the web performance monitoring for agencies page describes the wider setup the tour introduces.

Messaging improvements

The internal messages tool (which allows us to contact uses on feedback and support issues) in the app now links recipients to user records where that applies. A dedicated recipients list and a clearer edit preview make it easier to see who received a broadcast and to check delivery without opening mail logs.

Public site

We expanded the features hub with dedicated pages such as automated page discovery, performance budgets, leads management and prospecting, and multi-tenant workspaces and sites.

Also, the blog now has month archives (for example https://apogeewatcher.com/blog/2026/05) and improved UI in tag and category pages.

What to try

If you run client sites in Watcher: open a site, generate a domain report, and review budgets and test history on the same screen. On a fresh customer login, run the onboarding tour and note anything your team still has to explain by hand.

The second half of May is focused on further work for domain-level reports. Thanks for following along.
