Website Uptime Monitoring for People Who Just Want to Know

You probably don't open your own website every 15 minutes.

That's normal. You're busy doing whatever the website exists for in the first place.

The problem is that a website can go down between your checks and stay down until someone happens to notice.

Website uptime monitoring is simply a way of having something check the site for you.

What an uptime monitor does

A monitor periodically requests your website and records what happened.

Depending on the service, it may record availability, response time, errors, and other information.

The useful part is the alert: if the site stops responding, you get told.

How often should a site be checked?

It depends on how quickly you need to know.

VeePulse currently offers 15-, 30-, and 60-minute intervals.

A personal project may be perfectly comfortable with a less frequent check. A business site may justify a more frequent one.

There is no magic interval that is correct for everyone.

Why false alerts matter

A monitoring service can fail to reach a website for reasons that have nothing to do with the website itself.

VeePulse can use an independent confirmation check before treating a failed check as genuine downtime. If the two checks disagree, the event can be treated as a monitoring-side network problem rather than immediately sending a false alarm.

What you see

VeePulse gives you a simple dashboard with the current status of monitored sites, uptime information, response-time history, SSL status, and a 30-day uptime history.

You can also pause, edit, or remove monitors.

Who is this for?

It is intentionally not an enterprise incident-management system.

It is for the person who looks after a few websites and wants a straightforward answer: "Is my site working, and will somebody tell me if it stops?"

VeePulse is free and does not require a credit card or a trial countdown.
