The problem it solves

A website going down without you knowing means lost visitors, lost sales, and a scramble to figure out how long it's been broken. Manually checking whether your sites are still up isn't something you can do all day.

Who it fits

Webmasters, SEO teams, and sysadmins responsible for keeping websites online.

How it works

  1. You enter the list of URLs to watch
  2. On a schedule, or on demand, each URL is checked for availability
  3. The result, success or failure, is logged in a spreadsheet
  4. Failed URLs are filtered out
  5. An email alert is sent listing every site that's down
What you get

Downtime you hear about the second it happens

You get an instant email the moment any of your websites goes down, with every check logged for your records.

What you get

An uptime log in your spreadsheet and an email alert the moment a site goes down.

What you need

A Google Sheets account and a Gmail account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
