The problem

Waiting on exam, admissions, or application results usually means repeatedly refreshing a page for days, not knowing exactly when the update will land — a stressful and unproductive way to wait.

With Web Change Monitor

Add the results or admissions page you’re waiting on, choose how often to check (down to every 15 minutes on the Pro plan), and Web Change Monitor does the refreshing for you. You’ll get an email the moment the page changes, so you can stop watching it yourself.

What you can track

01Public results pages from exam boards, universities and testing bodies.
02Lists of admitted candidates, grades or rankings for public-sector and civil service exams.
03Admissions news pages that announce when decisions or waiting lists are released.
04Scholarship, grant and award announcement pages.
05Pages that publish new exam dates, registration windows or test-centre availability.
06Public lottery and draw results, such as housing or program places.

Set it up in three steps

01

Paste the results page

Sign in with Google and add the URL of an exam results or admissions page.

02

Click the results box

Use the element picker to watch only the results table or “latest news” box.

03

Pick how often

Every 6 hours or daily on Free, hourly on Starter, every 15 minutes on Pro.

Tips for getting results the moment they’re out

01

Track only the results table or the “latest news” box with the element picker, so unrelated edits elsewhere on the page don’t trigger alerts.

02

Choose the check frequency by how much the timing matters: every 6 hours or daily on the free plan, or as often as every 15 minutes on Pro.

03

If results are published as a PDF linked from a page, watch that page: you’ll be alerted when the new link appears.

04

Pages that need you to log in can’t be checked. Look for the public announcements page that tells you results are out.

Questions

Can it tell me when exam results are published?

Yes, if the results or the announcement appear on a public webpage. Add that page as a monitor and you get an email (or Slack, Discord or webhook message) as soon as it changes, showing what was added.

Does it work for results behind a login, like a student portal?

No. Web Change Monitor can only check pages anyone can open without signing in. Many institutions announce publicly that results are available, so watch that public page instead.

How quickly will I find out?

It depends on how often the page is checked: every 6 hours or daily on the free plan, hourly on Starter, and as often as every 15 minutes on Pro. You get the alert on the first check after the page changes.

What if the results come out as a PDF?

Watch the page that links to the PDF. When a new results file is added, the link appears on the page and you get an alert with the change.

How does website change monitoring work?

You add a URL and choose how often to check it, from once a day up to every 15 minutes depending on your plan. We fetch the page in the background on that schedule and compare it to the last version we saw. If anything changed, you get an email showing exactly what changed.

Can I track just one part of a page, like a price?

Yes. Use the visual element picker to click the exact part of the page you care about — a price, a stock badge, a headline — instead of the whole page. That way you’re not notified about unrelated changes, like a rotating banner or a "last updated" timestamp.

How will I be notified when something changes?

By email by default — and you can also connect Slack, Discord, or any custom webhook from your account settings, then choose per monitor which channels to use. Every notification shows what changed — removed text struck through, new text highlighted — so most of the time you won’t even need to open the dashboard.

How often can a page be checked?

It depends on your plan, and you choose the frequency per monitor. Free: every 6 hours or daily. Starter: as often as hourly. Pro: as often as every 15 minutes.

Is Web Change Monitor free?

There is a free plan with no credit card required: 5 monitors, checked every 6 hours or daily (1 of them can be a dynamic, JavaScript-rendered page). If you need more, Starter ($4/month) gives you 10 monitors (2 dynamic) checked as often as hourly, and Pro ($8/month) gives you 25 monitors (5 dynamic) checked as often as every 15 minutes. Paid plans also save a screenshot of the page with every change, are billed monthly, and you can cancel anytime.

Close the tab. We’ve got it.
