Know if your site is down from locations worldwide
Uptrends' Free Website Uptime tool tells more than forty of Uptrends' 233 checkpoints to send a request to your website, and Uptrends checks each response. Each checkpoint looks for a successful response, tracks the timing, and generates a report based on the website’s availability and response time.
You’ll know if your site is available from each test city based on a green or red tile. Each tile tells you how long the test took, and when you hover over a tile, you can get the resolve, connect, download times, and response size.

Is it down, or is it just me?
Knowing if your site is down on a global scale or just in regions can help guide your problem resolution. A regionalized outage could mean that you have a DNS issue, an Internet backbone failed, or network congestion caused requests to time out.
The Free Website Uptime and Availability tool gives you a comprehensive look at your site from a global perspective. When your site is red across the board, you know you’ve got bigger problems such as a DDoS attack, a hosting provider outage, or a hardware malfunction.
If you’ve got a service level agreement with your users, or your provider has one with you, a Website Monitor can keep you informed about the status of your uptime. Prove to your users you’re in compliance or show your provider they’re falling short. Uptime testing is about the ability to make a connection. The test makes sure that a user can get a complete connection to the server and receive the initial HTML without errors. Where is your connection failing: the resolve, the connection, or the download? Your users may get a connection, but there is always a chance that the content received isn’t what you would expect. With a content check, you will know if your DNS gets hijacked, or your site responds with the wrong content. A sure way of knowing if you’re getting the correct content is to check the page size. If the initial HTML response doesn’t meet certain thresholds, you know the server is responding with wrong or truncated content. When you choose to automate your

Website uptime alerting
When your site goes down, you want to know about it. That’s where Uptrends' advanced alerting comes in. Uptrends verifies every error from another checkpoint before issuing an alert. If the second test errors too, Uptrends uses your preferred messaging system to send out the message: SMS, email, phone/voice, Slack, PagerDuty, StatusHub, Splunk On-Call, ServiceNow, or your own custom webhook.
Custom alerting with escalations
Based on your alert definitions, you can escalate the alerting as the error condition continues. You can change the contact method or who gets notified and continue to send reminders until the problem gets fixed.
Receive error snapshots
Your HTTPS website monitors take a selfie too when possible. When the problem is a page error, such as a failed content check, Uptrends loads the result into a browser and takes a screenshot to let you see what the page looked like at the time of the error.
