    Quick answer#

    Enter any domain at /tools/website-uptime. Lemwatch pings the URL from multiple global regions and returns response time, HTTP status, and up/down verdict in seconds.

    What it checks#

  1. HTTP status code and final response body
  2. Response time per region (8 regions supported)
  3. Redirect chain and final URL
  4. DNS resolution time
  5. SSL handshake success and cert expiry

    6. Where to find it in Lemwatch#

    /tools/website-uptime — public. Also linked from every /is-down/:domain page for one-click deep monitoring.

    How to use it#

  6. Enter the domain or full URL.
  7. Click Check now.
  8. Review the per-region result table.
  9. If the site is down everywhere, follow the "start free monitoring" CTA.
  10. Signed-in users get automatic re-checks every 60 seconds until the site recovers.

    11. FAQ#

    Why does one region say up and another says down?#

    Regional network or CDN issues. Free monitoring inside Lemwatch alerts only when 2+ regions confirm — see Alert confirmation gates.

    Does it check HTTPS or HTTP?#

    Both — enter the full URL to force a protocol.
