Why Raptify, and why now
Raptify standalone launches this week, with the Shopify app close behind. Here is the problem every store owner has and almost nobody monitors, and how Raptify fixes it.
This is launch week. Raptify standalone opens its doors in the next few days: sign up with an email, paste in your site, and your first scan is running before your coffee cools. The Shopify app is close behind, waiting on App Store review.
So before the doors open, here is the question worth answering: why does Raptify exist at all?
Your site is up. Is it fast?
Almost everything sold as "website monitoring" answers one question: is the site online? That is worth knowing, but outages are the rare disaster. The everyday killer is the slow bleed. A new app makes every page a little heavier. A marketing pixel starts dragging on checkout. Product pages that loaded instantly in January take a beat too long by June. Your monitoring stays green through all of it, your customers feel all of it, and the first sign anyone sees is a sales dip nobody can explain.
The usual backup plan is running a speed test by hand when someone remembers. That gives you one number, from one moment, on one person's laptop, and it is out of date by the next change to your site. Speed is not a box you check once. It is something you keep, or lose a little at a time.
That gap, between "the site is up" and "the site is fast, and staying fast", is the entire reason Raptify exists.
Why Raptify
Catch it the morning it happens. Raptify checks every page that matters, every day (hourly if you want), using the same audits Google uses to decide where you rank. When something slips, you find out the next morning, not three weeks later in a revenue report.
Know for sure, not by feel. Every measurement lands on a trend line and gets compared with the period before, so "the site feels slower lately" turns into a fact you can act on. And we sweat the details so the numbers deserve your trust: one slow fluke never triggers a false alarm, and every check runs under identical conditions, so today's score and last month's score are always comparable.
Get answers, not alarms. A red number without a reason is just anxiety. When something slows down, Raptify shows you what changed: which page, which script, which third party service that quietly showed up after the last update. You hand your developer the fix instead of a mystery, and things get resolved in hours instead of weeks.
And this is not a launch-day promise. Raptify already watches real storefronts every day, including a marketing agency's entire roster of client sites. Every screenshot on this site is the real product doing its job.
Pick your door
Raptify standalone launches this week, and it is for everyone the app stores forgot. Running on WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Squarespace, or a site your agency built from scratch? An agency yourself, with a whole book of client sites to keep fast? On Shopify but not in the mood to wait for a review queue? This is your door. An email address and your site's URL is the entire setup. No installs, no code, nothing for a developer to configure. Monitor one site or fifty.
The Shopify app is the fully managed experience. Install it from the App Store like any other app and Raptify configures itself around your store. Billing lands on your regular Shopify invoice, right alongside everything else. Nothing to set up, nothing extra to manage, no new account to remember. It is finished and sitting in Shopify's review queue now, and the moment it clears, everyone on the waitlist hears first.
Same product, same scanner, same dashboard either way. The only choice is how you want it delivered.
Speed is revenue. Keep both.
Every day your site gets slower is a day it earns less, and until now the tools to catch that were built for engineers, not for the people whose revenue is on the line. That changes this week.
Drop your email on the waitlist and you will get the signup link the moment the doors open.
