## Description

Most WordPress breakage follows an update. A plugin auto-updates overnight, the 
checkout hook changes, a button stops working — and the site keeps returning HTTP
200 the whole time, so uptime monitoring sees nothing.

NorthDuty Connect closes that gap. It notifies [NorthDuty](https://northduty.com/)
the moment something on your site changes, and NorthDuty immediately re-runs the
checks that matter instead of waiting for the next scheduled slot:

 * **Real-browser journeys** — your checkout, login, signup, and contact-form flows,
   run step by step, with the failing step named and screenshotted.
 * **Website health checks** — uptime, SSL, DNS, blank pages, JavaScript errors,
   and the API endpoints your pages depend on.

The plugin itself stays deliberately tiny: it listens for update and content events
and sends a small signed notification. All monitoring runs on NorthDuty’s infrastructure—
nothing here slows your site, adds cron jobs, or stores visitor data.

**What triggers a notification**

 * Plugin, theme, and core updates — including automatic background updates
 * Plugin activation and deactivation, and theme switches
 * Published content changes: posts, pages, and WooCommerce products (drafts, autosaves,
   and revisions are ignored)

**See it in action**

We keep a real WooCommerce store that we break on purpose, so you can watch a monitored
checkout fail and get caught: [northduty.com/demo](https://northduty.com/demo/).

### External services

This plugin sends event notifications to NorthDuty (northduty.com), a website monitoring
service, **only after you configure a deploy hook URL on the settings screen**. 
Until then it sends nothing.

Each notification contains: the event type (for example `plugin.updated` or `page.
published`), your site URL, the changed item’s permalink and ID where relevant, 
and the plugin version. Notifications are HMAC-signed with the secret you configure.
No visitor data, user accounts, or content bodies are ever sent.

A NorthDuty account is required to receive the notifications. It works on every 
NorthDuty plan, including the free one. See NorthDuty’s [Terms of Service](https://northduty.com/terms/)
and [Privacy Policy](https://northduty.com/privacy/).

## Installation

 1. Create a free NorthDuty account at [northduty.com](https://northduty.com/) (no 
    card) and add your site as a project.
 2. In NorthDuty, open Settings  Run on site changes. On a WordPress site, the “Connect
    your WordPress site” card has the webhook address and a button to generate the 
    signing secret. (Both are also under “Advanced: webhook & extra pages”.)
 3. Install and activate NorthDuty Connect, then paste both values under Settings  
    NorthDuty and save.
 4. Click “Send test event”. It shows up in NorthDuty under Recent changes.

## FAQ

### Does this plugin slow my site down?

No. Notifications are sent asynchronously with a short timeout and no retries, and
nothing runs on page views by visitors. The monitoring itself happens entirely on
NorthDuty’s servers, from the outside.

### Does it work with WooCommerce?

Yes — that’s the main use case. Product changes trigger re-checks, and NorthDuty
runs your actual cart and checkout flow in a real browser on a schedule. The plugin
works on any WordPress site, WooCommerce or not.

### Do I need a NorthDuty account?

Yes. The plugin only sends notifications; the checks themselves run in NorthDuty.
Without an account and a configured webhook address, the plugin sends nothing.

### Do I need a paid NorthDuty plan?

No. On the free plan, every update the plugin reports gets a health check, and your
journey re-runs on up to 3 updates a day (after that, it waits for its daily schedule).
Paid plans, from $29/month, re-run every journey on every update and add more journeys,
faster schedules and detection that works without a plugin.

### Does it work if my site is behind Cloudflare or a firewall?

The plugin sends outgoing requests only, so firewalls that filter incoming traffic
don’t affect it. For NorthDuty’s checks to reach your site, a strict bot-protection
rule may need to allow NorthDuty’s monitoring traffic. NorthDuty reports a blocked
check as blocked rather than as a broken site.

### Can I use it on a staging site?

Yes. Add the staging site to NorthDuty as its own project; it gets its own webhook
address and secret, so staging and production are monitored separately.

### What happens if NorthDuty is unreachable?

Nothing visible: the notification is dropped and your site carries on. NorthDuty’s
scheduled checks still run regardless — update-triggered re-checks are an acceleration,
not a dependency.
