Content Matching or String Match allows you to type in a string of words into the “String Match” box when adding a new website to test. You can get to this page by selecting the “Add New Test” tab on your StatusCake.com dashboard.
Once you’ve entered the string you want to check for on your website you have a choice to make. With “Match Format” you can either select “Down if Found” which will mean that StatusCake sends you an alert if the string is found on your website when we carry out our checks, or if you selected “Down if Not Found” you’ll only get an alert from us when the specified string cannot be found on your website.
With Content Matching you can check to ensure no errors are outputting on the page; add in some keywords that would likely suggest your site has been defaced or maybe just make sure that your PayPal payment button is on the page. Content Matching is easy to set-up and is on all paid website monitoring accounts.

7 min read Artificial intelligence is making software easier to produce. That much is already obvious. Code that once took hours to scaffold can now be drafted in minutes. Boilerplate, integration logic, tests, refactors and small internal tools can be generated with startling speed. In some cases, even substantial pieces of implementation can be assembled quickly enough to
10 min read Whilst AI has compressed the visible stages of software delivery; requirements, validation, review and release discipline have not disappeared. They have been pushed into automation, runtime and governance. The real risk is not that the lifecycle is dead, but that organisations start acting as if accountability died with it. There is a now-familiar story about
4 min read How AI Is Shifting Software Engineering’s Primary Constraint For most of the history of software engineering, the primary constraint was production. Code was expensive, skilled engineers were scarce, and shipping features required concentrated human effort. Velocity was limited by how fast people could reason, implement, test, and deploy. That constraint shaped everything from team size,
