How does uptime monitoring work?
Add a monitor with the URL you want to watch, and it's checked automatically at regular intervals, around the clock. If a check fails or the response changes unexpectedly, it's logged straight away and reflected in your dashboard.
Will I be notified if my site goes down?
Yes – you'll get an instant email notification the moment a monitored site goes down, and another when it comes back up, so you're rarely the last to know about an outage.
Can I see historical uptime data?
Yes. Every monitor keeps a history of checks over time, so you can see patterns like recurring outages, slow periods, or how reliable a site has been over the last day, week or month.
How many sites can I monitor?
Add as many monitors as you need from your dashboard – each one runs independently, so you can track a whole portfolio of sites or services from a single place.
What can I use uptime monitoring for?
- Getting an early warning when a site or server goes offline
- Tracking reliability over time for an SLA or report
- Monitoring staging environments alongside production
- Keeping an eye on third-party APIs your site depends on
What's the difference between this and a redirect or header checker?
This tool watches a site continuously and alerts you to changes over time, whereas the redirect checker and header checker give you a one-off, detailed look at a single request – useful for diagnosing exactly what's happening once you already know something's wrong.
