How LemWatch checks if your website is online and responding.
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.
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.
Plan — Interval —
Free — Every 60 minutes —
Pro — Every 15 minutes —
Agency — Every 5 minutes —
Enterprise — Every 1 minute —
Calculated over rolling 24h, 7-day, and 30-day windows: (total_minutes − downtime_minutes) ÷ total_minutes × 100
When you're doing planned maintenance, enable Maintenance Mode to suppress alerts. See Maintenance Windows for details.
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.
