Free uptime check

See if a site is up, right now

Paste a web address or an API address and see the status code and the response time. This page runs that check once. A free account runs it every 10 minutes and emails you when it fails.

No credit card. Add the address once. You do not come back to paste it again.

The result

Three numbers, and what they mean

A green result is a small answer. It says this address responded, just now. It does not walk a login or a checkout.

Status code

200 to 299 means the server answered. 404 means that page is missing. 500 means the server failed.

Response time

Under half a second is comfortable for most pages. Past one second, people start to notice. One slow reading can be the path between this check and the server.

Connection

If nothing comes back, the address, the DNS, or the server could not be reached from here.

Useful result? Put the address on a free account and the next checks run themselves.

No credit card. The schedule starts as soon as the address is on the account.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to run this check every time?

On this page, yes. Create a free account and the same check runs every 10 minutes. You get an email when it fails. No credit card.

What does this uptime check test?

It sends a request to the address and records three things: whether a connection was made, the HTTP status code, and the time to reply.

What is a good response time?

Under 500 milliseconds is fine for most sites. Over a second is when visits start to drop. A single slow result can be the network, not your server.

Does a successful check mean the whole site works?

No. It means this address answered just now. It does not sign in, fill a basket, or pay. A path like that is a synthetic test.

How is monitoring different from this check?

Create a free account and the check is no longer manual. It runs every 10 minutes and emails you when it fails. Checks every minute, and Slack or Teams, start on the $5 Solo plan.

Keep going

Still on this page, still manual

The other checks are one-off too. The free account is where an uptime check starts running on its own.

SSL check

See who issued the certificate, and the day it stops working.
