Website Change Detection
Website change detection allows interested parties to be alerted when a website has changed. A web crawler can periodically traverse a website to see if any changes have occurred since its last visit. Reasons to track website changes include:
- Enhanced automations
- Triggering in Event-driven programming
- Updating dependent automations (such as screen scraping programs)
- Link rot mitigation
- Change trend monitoring
- Triggering human actions
- Analyst classifications
- Updating documentation
- Competitive monitoring
- Compliance monitoring
- Enforcement monitoring
- Investigation monitoring

Famous quotes containing the word change:
“The child to be concerned about is the one who is actively unhappy, [in school].... In the long run, a child’s emotional development has a far greater impact on his life than his school performance or the curriculum’s richness, so it is wise to do everything possible to change a situation in which a child is suffering excessively.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
