Is it actually there?
Regular HTTP checks catch outages and record response times. Consecutive failures can confirm a problem before an alert lands in your inbox.

Owl good. All sites up.
All monitored websites are passing their checks.
A wise owl checks more than uptime.
We don't just check if your site is up. We look for the things that really matter.
Is it saying the right things?
A page full of errors can still say “200 OK”. Tell us which words should appear, and which definitely shouldn’t.
Is the padlock happy?
We monitor certificate validity and warn you before expiry, helping you keep your visitors clear of unexpected browser warnings.

FAQ
Questions? We've got answers.
What counts as a monitor?
One specific URL. Uptime, text rules and SSL checks for that URL are included together. A homepage and a separate checkout page use two monitors.
Can I use the free plan for a business?
Absolutely. Your 5 free monitors can watch personal projects, business websites or client sites.
How quickly will I hear about an outage?
Free plans check every 5 minutes; paid plans every 1 minute. By default, two consecutive failures confirm an outage. Choose one to five failed checks per monitor, with confirmation retries about one minute apart. Queue and alert delivery can add time.
How do SMS alerts work?
Paid plans include a monthly allowance of UK SMS credits. Every plan, including Free, can buy extra credits. Verify your UK mobile number, then enable SMS for each monitor. One text uses one credit; recovery texts are optional and use another credit.
Does the text check run JavaScript?
It checks the HTML returned by the server. Content added only by JavaScript is not checked. Use Test now during setup to verify your phrase.
Can I send alerts to my own application?
Yes. Paid plans support a custom webhook URL for each monitor, with optional recovery notifications. View the full request and response in your webhook history and replay a delivery when you need to.
