Uptime Monitoring

How LemWatch checks if your website is online and responding.

Uptime Monitoring

How It Works

LemWatch sends HTTP requests to your website at regular intervals from multiple locations. If your site returns a non-2xx status code or doesn't respond within 30 seconds, it's marked as potentially down.

Downtime Confirmation

To prevent false positives from temporary network blips, LemWatch confirms downtime with consecutive failed checks before alerting you. Configure the threshold in Settings → Alert Preferences.

Check Intervals

Plan — Interval —

Free — Every 60 minutes —

Pro — Every 15 minutes —

Agency — Every 5 minutes —

Enterprise — Every 1 minute —

What Gets Checked

  1. HTTP status code — We expect 2xx responses
  2. Response time — Measured in milliseconds
  3. SSL certificate — Validity and days until expiry
  4. DNS resolution — Can we resolve your domain?
  5. Content verification — Optional keyword check to verify page content loaded correctly

Uptime Percentage

Calculated over rolling 24h, 7-day, and 30-day windows: (total_minutes − downtime_minutes) ÷ total_minutes × 100

Maintenance Mode

When you're doing planned maintenance, enable Maintenance Mode to suppress alerts. See Maintenance Windows for details.

Response Time Tracking

LemWatch tracks response times over time so you can spot degradation trends before they become outages. A gradually increasing response time often predicts upcoming issues.
