Everything You Need for Uptime Monitoring
Comprehensive features to keep your sites online
5-Minute Check Intervals
Monitor your sites every 5 minutes, 24/7. Get alerted within minutes when something goes wrong.
Global Monitoring Locations
Check your site from multiple geographic locations to catch regional outages.
Instant Alerts with Retry
Get notified via email, Slack, Discord, Telegram, or webhooks. Failed deliveries automatically retry 3 times.

Pause / Resume Monitors
Pause individual monitors during migrations or rebuilds without deleting them. Resume with one click.
Maintenance Auto-Pause
Schedule maintenance windows and alerts automatically pause. No more false alarms during deployments.
Screenshot on Downtime
When a site goes down, we automatically capture a screenshot of what the error page looks like for debugging.
Expected Body Validation
Mark a site as down if the response body doesn't contain expected text. Catch silent failures and broken deployments.
