We've added Microsoft Teams notifications to Oh Dear for uptime, certificate, performance and broken links alerts!

When a site is down, Oh Dear sends a notification every hour. Since last year, our notifications can be snoozed for a fixed amount of time (5 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, one day). In the evenings and weekends, you might not want to receive repeated notifications. That's why we've added a nice human touch: all notifications can now be snoozed until the start of the next workday. You can choose this new options in the snooze settings of a check.

Today, we're introducing a new major feature: monthly site reports. In such a report, you got a bird's eye summary of everything we know of a site in a particular month. We've gone the extra mile and added the ability to mail these reports to people outside of your team automatically. If you're an agency and manage sites for your clients, you could use this feature to send a monthly report of all broken links to your client. In this blog post, we'll tell you all about the feature.

To make sure that our service is working correctly, we have a suite of automated tests. The test suite is executed when we make changes and deploy something to production. Using the new parallel testing feature that recently landed in Laravel, we managed to run our testsuite about four times faster. Here is the test output when running all tests sequentially. The time needed is 4m28s. And here's the test output when using parallel testing. It only took 1m05s.
