Uptime monitoring that tells you a site is down before your customers do
Uptura checks your websites, APIs, and endpoints every minute from multiple regions — and alerts your team the instant one goes down, with the response time and recovery logged automatically.

Why it matters
Downtime is expensive — and easy to miss
A site that's down doesn't announce itself. Uptime monitoring watches your sites and endpoints around the clock so you're the first to know, not the last, and can start fixing before it costs you customers.
Seconds
is what downtime costs
For a store or SaaS, every minute offline is lost revenue, abandoned signups, and support tickets piling up.
Customers
shouldn't be your monitor
Without uptime monitoring, the first sign of an outage is an angry email — long after the damage started.
Multi-region
beats a single check
One probe can lie — a local network hiccup looks like downtime. Confirming from several regions stops false alarms.
What we monitor
Everything an uptime monitoring tool should do
Uptura confirms your sites are truly online — checking often, from everywhere, and verifying the response is actually healthy, not just present.
Minute-by-minute checks
Uptura checks your sites and endpoints as often as every 60 seconds, so an outage is caught in the first minute — not the first support ticket.
Multi-region verification
Before alerting, we confirm downtime from several locations worldwide, so a single flaky network never triggers a false alarm.
HTTP, API, TCP & port checks
Monitor websites, REST APIs, and raw TCP ports — with keyword and status-code assertions so a 200 that returns an error page still counts as down.
Instant multi-channel alerts
The moment a site goes down — and again when it recovers — your team is notified over email, Slack, or Discord, with the failing check attached.
Response-time tracking
Track latency over time, not just up or down, so you can see a site getting slower long before it actually falls over.
Uptime reports & status
Get historical uptime percentages and SLA-ready reports for every monitor, so you can prove reliability to clients and stakeholders.
How it works
Add a URL, get watched around the clock
Uptime monitoring should take a minute to set up. Point Uptura at your sites and it handles the checking from there.
- 1
Add your URLs
Point Uptura at the sites, pages, and endpoints you need to keep online. No agents to install — just the addresses you care about.
- 2
We check from around the world
Uptura probes each target on a schedule from multiple regions, measuring response time and verifying the response is actually healthy.

You get alerted the second it's down
The instant a check fails from multiple locations, we alert your team — and let you know the moment the site recovers, with the downtime logged.
One platform
Uptime is just one signal Uptura watches
A site can be 'up' while its certificate is expiring, its DNS is wrong, or its checkout is broken. Uptura pairs uptime monitoring with SSL, DNS, SEO, performance, accessibility, and more — so every part of a website's health lives in one dashboard and one alert stream.
SSL & Domain
Track SSL certificate, issuer, and domain expiry across every site, with alerts well before anything lapses.
DNS Monitoring
Watch DNS records for unexpected changes, misconfigurations, and propagation issues in real time.
API & EndpointSoon
Test REST endpoints for status codes, latency, and JSON validity — and watch business-critical endpoints separately.
SEO Monitoring
Catch metadata, canonical, robots.txt, and sitemap regressions that quietly tank rankings — the moment they ship.
Core Web VitalsSoon
Track LCP, CLS, and INP over time with Lighthouse scans, and get alerted when performance regresses.
Synthetic & Forms
Run scripted checks on logins, checkouts, and contact forms so broken user journeys never go unnoticed.
Visual RegressionSoon
Capture daily screenshots and highlight visual differences between deployments before anyone else spots them.
AccessibilitySoon
Continuous WCAG and Axe scans with historical reports, so accessibility regressions get caught — not shipped.

FAQ
Uptime monitoring, answered
What is uptime monitoring?
Uptime monitoring is the practice of continuously checking that a website, API, or service is online and responding correctly. A monitoring tool sends requests on a schedule from one or more locations and alerts you the moment a check fails — so you find out about downtime before your customers do.
How does uptime monitoring work?
Uptura sends a request to each URL or endpoint you add, on a schedule as frequent as every 60 seconds, and checks the response for the right status code and content. If a check fails, it's re-verified from other regions to rule out a network blip, and then you're alerted — with the failing check and a recovery notification when it comes back.
What is a good uptime percentage?
99.9% uptime — often called 'three nines' — is a common target and allows roughly 43 minutes of downtime a month. Higher tiers like 99.99% ('four nines') allow only about 4 minutes. Uptura tracks your uptime percentage over time so you can hold yourself, or a vendor, to a specific SLA.
How often should a website be checked?
For most business-critical sites, checking every 60 seconds is the sweet spot — frequent enough to catch outages fast without generating noise. Uptura lets you tune the interval per monitor, so a marketing page and a checkout API can be watched at different cadences.
Is there a free uptime monitoring tool?
Several tools offer limited free uptime monitoring for a handful of checks. Uptura is launching uptime monitoring as part of a complete website operations platform — join the waitlist for early access and founding-user pricing when it goes live.
How is uptime monitoring different from synthetic monitoring?
Uptime monitoring confirms a page or endpoint responds. Synthetic monitoring goes a step further and replays a whole user journey — like login or checkout — to confirm it actually works. They complement each other, and Uptura offers both from the same dashboard.
