KNOW WHEN WORDPRESS
STOPS ANSWERING.
Website Down Watch checks your monitored WordPress pages from outside the hosting, records the HTTP status and response time, confirms persistent failures before opening an incident, and records recovery when the site is healthy again.
A DOWN WEBSITE CANNOT
RELIABLY REPORT ITSELF.
The scheduled uptime check runs outside the monitored WordPress hosting. If the public page becomes unavailable, the monitoring path remains separate and can continue deciding whether the failure is temporary or a real incident.
The monitor opens the saved public page from outside the website.
Availability, HTTP status and response time are recorded without relying on the WordPress dashboard.
If the site disappears, the external system can still confirm the outage and watch for recovery.
FROM EVERY HOUR
DOWN TO EVERY MINUTE.
Public-page uptime frequency depends on the connected plan. Faster plans check more often, while every plan still lets you choose slower intervals when a lower monitoring frequency makes more sense.
Fastest available public-page check.
Faster automatic uptime monitoring.
Fastest public-page monitoring available.
The illustration compresses time to show the rhythm. The actual selected interval is controlled by the plan and your saved monitoring setting.
SEE THE HTTP RESULT.
SEE HOW LONG IT TOOK.
Each public-page check records whether the page answered, the HTTP status returned by the monitored URL, and the response time used by the uptime dashboard.
CONFIRM THE FAILURE
BEFORE OPENING AN INCIDENT.
Choose how cautious the monitor should be. A healthy result during confirmation stops the sequence, so a short-lived failure does not automatically become a downtime incident.
Matching failures at least 1 minute apart.
FASTEST CONFIRMATIONMatching failures at least 1 minute apart.
RECOMMENDEDMatching failures at least 2 minutes apart.
MORE PATIENTGET THE ALERT WHEN IT MATTERS.
GET THE RECOVERY TOO.
After a failure is confirmed, Site Watch can notify the configured recipients. When the website is confirmed as healthy again, the recovery is recorded and a recovery alert can be sent.
Downtime and recovery messages can be sent to configured email recipients.
Connect one private Telegram chat for monitoring notifications.
Connect one Discord channel through its incoming webhook.
WATCH THE PUBLIC PAGES
THAT ACTUALLY MATTER.
Paid plans can automatically monitor real public URLs, not just the homepage. Basic watches one public page, Plus up to three, and Advanced up to five.
SEE WHEN IT STARTED.
SEE WHEN IT RECOVERED.
Confirmed incidents are kept in history for the connected plan's retention period, so you can see the affected URL, when downtime was confirmed, and when recovery was recorded.
ONE DASHBOARD FOR
CURRENT STATE AND 30-DAY HISTORY.
The uptime view keeps monitored URLs, the latest result, 30 days of local daily Average/Fastest/Slowest response history and incident state together so you do not have to decode a wall of settings.
A PAGE CAN BE ONLINE
WHILE WORDPRESS IS STILL BROKEN.
WordPress uptime monitoring tells you whether the public page answered. Website Down Watch can add automatic WordPress/database, maintenance, AJAX and SSL health, selected-page checks, public content checks and protected-page access/content monitoring when you need more context.
Useful and essential: the monitored URL answered from the public internet.
Additional protected signals help explain cases where the page answers but something inside WordPress needs attention.
CHOOSE HOW CLOSELY
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 →
