Know when your site is down — before your customers do.
Free WordPress plugin. Works on shared hosting.
Everything you need to monitor your WordPress site
One plugin. No external accounts. No monthly fees. Installs in 30 seconds.
📈
Uptime & Response Time Charts
Visualise your site’s response time over the last 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days. Instantly see when slowdowns and outages occurred.
🌐
Public Status Page
A clean, standalone status page at /status/ your customers can bookmark. Shows a 90-day uptime history and recent incidents. Toggle it on or off any time.
🚨
Downtime Email Alerts
Get an email the moment downtime is detected, and a recovery email when the site comes back online. No repeated alerts — one notification per incident.
🪲
Error Log
PHP fatal errors captured automatically and displayed in a searchable log inside your dashboard. No more digging through server log files.
🏠
Shared Hosting Friendly
Built on WP-Cron and the Heartbeat API — no cPanel setup needed, no daemons, no external services. Works out of the box on any host.

Lightweight by Design
