Know your website is down before your users notice

Do you usually discover that your website is down from your users or employees?

Then, you will find our simple website monitor useful. This simple website monitoring tool can monitor your website periodically and alert you when the site goes down. It will also alert you when the size of your web page changes or if it starts to load slowly.

You can use the website monitor to track the uptime and performance of important pages on your website (eg: home page, sign up page, store).

If you want to keep tabs on a sequence of urls similar to a website monitor, you can set up a url sequence monitor, a website monitoring tool made just for keeping an eye on urls!
