Go beyond simple uptime checks with advanced monitoring, incident management and access built for scaling teams.

Monitor on the go. Stay in control anywhere.

Get real-time alerts and manage all your monitors from anywhere. Check statuses, pause monitors, and resolve incidents instantly

UptimeRobot is an uptime monitoring service that continuously checks websites, APIs, and other endpoints. It alerts you when anything goes down, degrades, or changes. So you can stay on top of your systems' current states and identify issues before your users do.

UptimeRobot also provides tools to transparently communicate the real-time status and reliability of your systems, and proactively manage incidents when they happen.

An uptime monitor is a single tool that repeatedly verifies a target webpage or service is online and working as expected.

When an uptime monitor detects a problem, it instantly sends alerts (via email, SMS/IM, call, etc.) so you can respond quickly. It also records incidents with timestamps and details in your dashboard so that you can track reliability over time.

Uptime monitors support various monitoring types (HTTP, Ping, Port, Keyword, DNS, Heartbeat), targets (URL/IP/Port), and alerting rules (including escalation).

1. Sign up to create a free UptimeRobot account
2. In the dashboard, click Add New Monitor
3. Choose HTTP(S) as the monitor type and enter the website URL
4. Set the monitoring interval and any optional settings you care about (timeouts, redirects, keyword checks)
5. Add your preferred notification channels (email, push, Slack, SMS, etc.) and save the monitor
6. Optionally: create a status page

1. Sign up and create a free UptimeRobot account
2. Create your first monitor (so there's something to display)
3. Go to Status Pages and click Create Status Page
4. Select the monitors (or tags) you want to show, then name the page
5. Publish your status page
6. Optionally: customize the design, set a custom domain, password-protect it, opt out of search engine indexing, and use announcements for incident/maintenance updates (users can subscribe with email right on your status page).

With UptimeRobot, you can monitor any website, API, server, application, service, network, or endpoint, whether it’s yours, a third-party vendor’s, or a dependency you rely on. Additionally, UptimeRobots supports these monitor types:

• HTTP/HTTPS
• Keywords in server responses and on-page
• Ping
• Port
• Cron jobs/heartbeats
• Website change detection
• Response time
• DNS changes
• SSL certificates and domain expiry

The variety of monitor types lets you track availability, response behavior, certificates, scheduled jobs, and infrastructure changes from one place.

UptimeRobot can check your site and other endpoints as often as every 30 seconds and as infrequently as every 5 minutes, depending on your monitor's settings. The available monitoring intervals in your account also depend on your plan:

• Free: every 5 minutes
• Solo/Team: every 60 seconds
• Enterprise: every 30 seconds

Faster intervals improve time-to-detect, but can create more noise if your endpoint is flaky or the network is unstable.

Yes, UptimeRobots supports location-specific monitoring. With multi-location checks, you can spot regional outages, routing problems, or CDN edge issues that won't show up from a single vantage point. It's especially useful for DNS and security scenarios where failures can first appear in one location

Add one or more notification channels and associate them with your monitors. The available personal channels include Email, SMS, Voice Call, Mobile App Push, and Email-to-SMS; and the integrations include Telegram, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Google Chat, Mattermost, PagerDuty, Splunk On-Call, Pushbullet, and Pushover. For custom workflows, you can also use Webhooks, Zapier, MCP, or API.

UptimeRobot reduces false alarms by rechecking failures across multiple checker nodes and locations before opening an incident. You can further improve signal-to-noise by white-listing UptimeRobot’s locations and IP addresses, tuning sensitivity (timeouts and delays), and using more specific checks (such as validating a keyword or expected response behavior). For planned work, use maintenance windows to pause monitoring so expected downtime doesn’t trigger alerts or affect uptime calculation and downtime statistics.
