The problem it solves

You find out your website is down when a customer complains, not before. Constantly checking whether your site is still up isn't a good use of your time, but downtime you don't catch quickly can cost you sales and trust.

Who it fits

Any business that relies on its website staying online for customers.

How it works

  1. On a regular schedule, the system checks whether your website responds
  2. It looks at the response to see if the site is working normally
  3. If the site fails to respond correctly, an alert is triggered
  4. An email is sent to you letting you know your site is down
What you get

Downtime you hear about before customers do

You get an email the moment your website stops responding, so you can act before customers notice anything is wrong.

What you get

An email alert as soon as your website becomes unreachable.

What you need

An email account, such as Gmail, to send alerts from.

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.
