System and method for detecting changes in webpages and generating metric correlations therefrom

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for causing a processing circuitry to execute a process for detecting changes in webpages, the process comprising:

• creating a snapshot for a webpage addressed by an identifier, wherein the identifier is designated in a received request for detecting changes in the webpage, wherein the created snapshot is a current snapshot of a most recent version of the webpage;
• retrieving at least one recent snapshot of the webpage, wherein the recent snapshot was created immediately prior to the current snapshot and represents an immediate previous version of the webpage;
• and
• comparing the current snapshot to the at least one recent snapshot to detect any changes, wherein the comparison is based on changes in visible elements in the webpage.

A system for detecting changes in webpages, comprising:

• a processing circuitry;
• and
• a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the system to:
• create a snapshot for a webpage addressed by an identifier, wherein the identifier is designated in a received request for detecting changes in the webpage, wherein the created snapshot is a current snapshot of a most recent version of the webpage;
• retrieve at least one recent snapshot of the webpage, wherein the recent snapshot was created immediately prior to the current snapshot and represents an immediate previous version of the webpage;
• and
• compare the current snapshot to the at least one recent snapshot to detect any changes, wherein the comparison is based on changes in visible elements in the webpage.
