How it works

Monitoring your sites, start to finish

From adding a site to getting the alert — here's exactly how Uptura watches your websites and tells you the moment something breaks.

Five steps

Up and running in minutes

No setup project — add a site, pick your checks, and Uptura takes it from there.

Step 1

Add your site

Paste a URL and Uptura starts watching it in seconds. No agents to install, no DNS changes, no code — just the address.

  • Works with any public site or web app
  • Nothing to install — add a URL and you're monitoring
Uptura's Add a website dialog — enter a URL and an optional display name to start monitoring
Step 2

Turn on the checks that matter

Each site gets the checks you choose — uptime, SSL, DNS, API, SEO, Core Web Vitals, accessibility, and more. Toggle on what matters, per site.

  • Reliability + performance + SEO in one place
  • Every check is free during our public beta

Step 3

Choose how often we check

Pick the cadence that fits each site — every 5 minutes on the free plan, down to every minute on Pro, or space it out to hourly and daily. Change it any time.

  • Every 5 minutes free · down to 1 minute on Pro
  • Set per check, and change it whenever you like

Step 4

Watch uptime & response in real time

Every check plots response time and uptime over time, with the full history and recent results — so you see trends and slow-downs, not just the state right now.

  • Response-time graph + uptime % at a glance
  • Adjustable check frequency, down to every minute

Step 5

Get alerted the moment it breaks

When a site goes down, a certificate is about to expire, or a check starts failing, Uptura emails (or Slacks) you within minutes — and again the moment it recovers.

  • Email always on; Slack for the whole team
  • Confirmed across checks, so no false alarms
