Website change (or we may call it 'defacement') is a tricky thing. Not every change shall be classified as 'alert' immediately. Keeping that as assumption, then every small content update will be judged as defacement.

As an example, some web page designs use animation (such as carousel slider, image banner, etc.) to make their site look more interesting. This animation may be recognised as website change then notified as alert to users. But it depends on the basic principle of the tool you use.

Wrong mechanism of defacement monitoring tool is possible to 'judge' a good change as an 'alert'.
