Intelligent Failure Classification
SupaGuard doesn't just tell you "it's broken." It tells you how it's broken, so you can decide whether to wake up or hit snooze.
Beyond Pass/Fail
Traditional checking is binary. But in the real world, "slow" is different from "down". SupaGuard categorizes every check result into one of three states:
1. Healthy (Green)
- What it means: The website loaded, all interactions succeeded, and performance was within acceptable limits.
- Action: Nothing. Sleep well.
2. Degraded (Yellow)
- What it means: The site is working, but something is off.
- Performance: Load time increased significantly (e.g., from 1s to 5s).
- Soft Failures: Optional elements didn't load, but the core flow completed.
- Action: We send a Warning Alert. You should investigate when you have time, but no need for a 3 AM panic.
3. Critical (Red)
- What it means: A core user flow is blocked.
- Login failed.
- Checkout button wasn't clickable.
- The site returned a 500 error.
- Action: We send a Critical Alert. Immediate attention is required.
Configuring Sensitivity
You can customize how strict SupaGuard should be:
- Strict Mode: Any slight performance regression triggers a localized warning.
- Relaxed Mode: Only alert on hard functional failures.
This tiered approach ensures that your noise-to-signal ratio stays low, keeping your team focused on what actually matters.
