Website Down Watch monitors public URLs on connected WordPress websites from outside the hosting, records HTTP status and response time, confirms persistent failures before opening an incident, and keeps watching until the site recovers.

OUTSIDE THE HOSTINGCONFIRM BEFORE ALERTINGWATCH FOR RECOVERY
YOUR WEBSITE CANNOT
DEPEND ON ITSELF TO REPORT DOWNTIME.
The public uptime request runs outside the connected WordPress hosting. If the site, PHP process or hosting platform stops answering, the external monitoring path remains available to observe the failure, confirm it and later detect recovery.
WATCHING
01Open the real URL
The service requests the public page from outside the monitored hosting.
02Record an independent result
Availability, returned HTTP status and response time come from that external check.
03Stay alive during the outage
If the website disappears, the monitoring path can still confirm downtime and keep checking for recovery.
FROM EVERY HOUR
DOWN TO EVERY MINUTE.
The fastest available public-page interval depends on the connected plan. You can still choose a slower cadence when one-minute monitoring would be unnecessary for that website.

UPTIME STARTS WITH A PUBLIC-INTERNET QUESTION:Did the monitored URL answer, what status did it return, and how quickly did it respond?
CONFIRM THE FAILURE
BEFORE THE ALERT FIRES.
Fast, Balanced and Cautious confirmation let the monitor require matching failed checks before a temporary problem becomes a confirmed website incident.
Matching failures at least 1 minute apart.
FASTEST CONFIRMATIONMatching failures at least 1 minute apart.
RECOMMENDEDMatching failures at least 2 minutes apart.
MORE PATIENTBALANCED EXAMPLEWaiting for the next scheduled check
0 / 31Failure observedNo incident yet
2Same failure againStill confirming
3Failure confirmedIncident can open
If a healthy result arrives before the selected threshold is reached, the pending confirmation is cleared and no downtime incident opens.
HEAR ABOUT THE OUTAGE.
HEAR WHEN IT IS OVER.
After downtime is confirmed, Site Watch can notify the configured recipients. Monitoring continues during the incident, and a later healthy result records recovery and can send the recovery message.

WHEN THE SERVER ANSWERS,
WORDPRESS CAN STILL NEED ATTENTION.
Website uptime monitoring answers whether the public URL responded. Because Website Down Watch is built for connected WordPress websites, you can go deeper with automatic WordPress/database, maintenance, AJAX and SSL health, selected-page checks, public content and protected-page access/content signals.

YOUR WORDPRESS SITE IS WATCHED.
Free includes the full local diagnostic toolkit. Basic, Plus and Advanced automate public and WordPress-aware checks, while Plus adds automatic public/protected content monitoring and Advanced adds scheduled WooCommerce Health. Every plan still includes the manual eleven-check WooCommerce Health diagnostic when WooCommerce is active. Current GBP pricing and any active first-year discount are loaded from the public pricing service; checkout opens in the Freemius overlay without leaving this page.
Scheduled WordPress-local monitoring: for the most reliable timing, use a real 1-minute server cron. It wakes the scheduler only; Signed-in Page Check and Critical Content still start at 5 minutes, and WooCommerce Health remains 5 / 15 / 60 minutes on Advanced. Read the cron setup guide →
