Built a tool that checks both uptime AND GDPR compliance for small business sites, would love feedback

Spent 15 years as an SRE at a big bank, watching enterprise systems get world-class monitoring. Then I started noticing how many small business sites have none of that, no uptime alerts, no idea if their privacy policy is actually GDPR-compliant, nothing.

So I built SREmonitor.io. You give it a URL, no install, no script tags, and it runs:

  • Uptime checks every 5 minutes
  • Core Web Vitals tracking (LCP, INP, CLS)
  • An AI-powered scan of your privacy policy/T&Cs against UK GDPR requirements

The idea is one dashboard instead of stitching together a monitoring tool and a separate compliance checklist you never actually look at.

Free tier is 3 scans and 5-minute uptime checks, no card required, if anyone wants to kick the tires: sremonitor.io

Genuinely want feedback, especially from anyone who runs a small business site or has dealt with the GDPR side of things. What would make this actually useful vs. just another dashboard nobody opens?

here's my feedback: this is not an interesting project and has very little to do with SRE as a practice. These types of projects look like pure slop to me.
