Turning modules on and off

Modules let you tailor TLDTrack to your business by switching whole features on or off for everyone in your organisation. Turn off what you do not use, and it disappears from view for the whole team.

The modules, and what each one controls

There are thirteen modules. Each one governs a specific area of the domain detail page and the alerts that go with it:

• Valuations - domain value estimates, AI appraisals and valuation history. Off by default on many accounts, since TLDTrack is a monitoring tool first.
• Security scans - vulnerability and security scan results on the domain detail page.
• Content checks - keyword and content monitoring rules linked to each domain, plus tracking-code and client-side-error alerts.
• Uptime monitoring - HTTP uptime checks, incident history and response-time tracking.
• Journey tests - automated user-journey tests, such as contact form and sign-up checks, and the alerts raised when one fails.
• SEO data - search visibility, page-rank indicators and crawl information.
• Hosting - hosting provider details, IP information and WHM/cPanel integration, including hosting and WordPress alerts.
• Email health - live email deliverability tests and DNS mail record information.
• Visual monitoring - visual change detection and page-element monitoring.
• Brand consistency - brand guideline scoring and brand-drift alerts.
• Accessibility - WCAG accessibility audits and monitoring.
• Compliance - policy and compliance checks against your stated rules.
• Analytics & error tracking - visitor analytics, heatmaps, Web Vitals and JavaScript error tracking through the tracking snippet.

What "off" actually does

When a module is switched off, two things happen together:

• Its sections and tabs are hidden from every team member on the domain detail pages.
• Its alerts and notifications stop: they do not appear in your alerts or history, and its emails and push messages are not sent. For example, turning off Uptime silences down-and-recovered alerts, Hosting silences the WHM and WordPress alerts, and Email silences email-test results.

So switching a module off is also the way to silence a whole category of alerts you do not want. This is a different, broader control from switching a single check off on one site's Monitoring tab: a module setting applies to your whole organisation and every site at once. For example, turning off Uptime as a module hides uptime everywhere and stops its alerts for the whole team, whereas switching uptime off for one site leaves the module running for everyone else.

Modules, per-site checks and roles

It helps to keep three different controls straight, because they stack:

• Modules decide which feature areas exist for the whole organisation. This is the broadest switch, and it is what this page is about.
• Per-site checks, on each site's Monitoring tab, decide which of the available checks actually run on that one site.
• Roles decide which people can see and change things at all. See user roles.

A feature has to be on as a module before anyone can use it per-site, and a person has to have a role that permits it before they can act on it. Modules sit at the top of that stack.

How to change your modules

Changing modules is quick, and you can turn several on or off in one visit:

1. 1
   Open your Settings.
2. 2
   Go to the Modules tab.
3. 3
   Toggle the features you want on or off.
4. 4
   Click Save modules.

The change takes effect for everyone straight away, so the next time a team member loads a domain page they see only the features that are still switched on, and only the alerts from the modules that remain enabled.

Good to know

• Most modules are on by default, so a new account starts close to the full platform and you trim from there. Brand consistency, Compliance and Analytics & error tracking start off, and the questions you answer during onboarding can switch others off to match the way you work.
• Turning a module off is reversible and non-destructive: switch it back on and its history returns intact.
• Not every module has its own alerts. Some, such as Valuations, only add a section to the interface, so turning them off simply removes that section.
• A module being off is the cleanest way to silence a whole category of notifications for the whole team at once.
