The Sunday outage
Your host has an issue while nobody is working. SiteVitals is still checking, so you know about it rather than finding out on Monday morning.
Uptime monitoring, free forever
Be the first to know if your site goes down.
Not a customer. SiteVitals checks your site around the clock, day and night, and tells you when an outage is confirmed. Free for as long as you want it, with no card needed.

Why it matters
The first person to know your site is down should never be a customer.
A hosting issue, a failed deployment or a server hiccup can take a site offline without anyone noticing straight away. The worst way to discover it is from a customer email, a missed enquiry, or a dropped sale.
SiteVitals keeps watch in the background, confirms the outage before alerting you, and keeps a record of what happened and how long recovery took.
Know about the problem while it is still yours to solve — not your customer's to discover.
02
The customer who would have told you
“Just to let you know, your website seems to be down?” is an email you never want to receive first.
03
The site that is up, but struggling
Response times can deteriorate before a full outage happens. SiteVitals tracks latency alongside availability so you can see the pattern.
04
The page that loads but is broken
Keyword presence checks can confirm that important page content is actually there, not merely that the server returned a response.
What you get
Everything you need to keep an eye on uptime.
Free uptime monitoring is intentionally simple: useful checks, clear alerts and enough history to understand what happened.
01
Alerts, around the clock
Downtime doesn't keep office hours, so SiteVitals checks your site around the clock, inc. weekends, and bank holidays. When an outage is confirmed, we'll let you know by email and in your account, or by webhook if you'd rather send alerts to Slack or another tool.
02
Incident history
A clear log of every downtime event: when it started, when it was resolved and how long recovery took. Useful for spotting patterns and for conversations with your hosting provider.
03
Response time tracking
Availability and speed are different things. SiteVitals tracks how quickly your site responds alongside whether it is available, helping you spot degradation before it becomes a full outage.
04
Keyword presence checks
Check that a word or phrase which should always appear on a page is still there. That can catch cases where the page loads but important content, a database connection or part of the application has failed.
05
Smart verification
Before we treat a failed check as a confirmed outage, SiteVitals verifies it so a one-off network wobble is less likely to turn into a false alarm.
06
UK & EU based
Monitoring and data storage are based within the UK and EU, keeping the service privacy-focused by design.
