Since 2015, I’ve been helping clients keep their WordPress websites secure and up-to-date. Over the years, I streamlined and automated nearly every part of the update process – making it faster, more reliable, and affordable for everyone.

But there was one critical step I couldn’t automate: checking the website after updates to ensure everything still worked.

The concern was always the same: What if an update breaks something – and I miss it?
Unfortunately, that concern became reality more than once. And I knew: if I wanted to deliver a truly professional maintenance service, I had to spot those issues before my clients – or their clients – ever noticed.

So I started experimenting. I built an internal tool that automatically compared the website visually before and after updates – helping me instantly detect any changes or issues. The result? More confidence. Better service. No surprises.

At first, I used it solely within my own workflow. But as I spoke to other agencies, it became clear:
This wasn’t just my problem – it was a widespread challenge.

That insight led to the creation of WebChange Detector – a SaaS solution designed to give agencies and website managers full visibility into what changes during updates.

We launched in 2020, and since then, we’ve continued to evolve and improve the platform with one goal in mind:
To make website updates safer, smarter, and stress-free.
