Begin safeguarding your projects today using our WordPress plugin or accessing our secure platform at https://website-checkups.com. Choose from a permanently free plan or several cost-efficient packages customizable to your needs.

Our external monitoring checks include:

You can share the results of our checkups with yourself or others using various notification options. We generate clear, detailed charts that track the availability and performance of the monitored web services over time, accessible even months later.

Almost all features are available in the permanently free subscription. You can therefore use this free subscription for as long as you like to test our services without obligation. For more frequent checkups, additional notification options, or monitoring more services, you can upgrade to other subscription plans.

This WordPress Plugin provides:

  • Management of data, checkups, and notifications
  • Clear reporting and chart visualizations of checkup results
  • Secure data exchange between your WordPress site and our SaaS API

Current notification channels include:
* E-mail
* Microsoft Teams
* Telegram
* Slack
* Google Chat
* SMS (Short message service)

This list will expand over time

Website Checkups is a SaaS platform that manages all checkups, notifications, statistics, billings and so on.

For more details, visit our Terms and Conditions page: https://website-checkups.com/terms-and-conditions/.

For instance, data entered for monitoring your websites or services is securely transferred to our servers for regular monitoring, reporting and notifications. Company names, addresses, and similar data are used solely for invoicing purposes.

Your data is exclusively used for:
* Validation and monitoring of online services
* Presentation of test results
* Notifications related to your checkups
* Invoicing and payment processing
* Notifications about your user account, such as alerts regarding potential deactivation due to extended periods of inactivity

We do not pass on your data in any form (sale, disclosure, rental, transfer or other communication) to third parties who are not involved in the provision of our services. We assure you that your data will never be used for newsletters, sales calls, advertising, marketing, or any similar purposes. For more information, visit our Privacy Policy: https://website-checkups.com/terms-privacy/.

You control the data you provide. Mandatory fields in our forms are minimized. Deleting data in the WordPress plugin will also delete it from our API.

Preguntas frecuentes

Why do we offer this service?

The availability and performance of websites and services are crucial for businesses and individuals. While larger companies have IT departments with advanced monitoring tools, smaller companies often lack such resources. Even with server-side monitoring, outages may go unnoticed until reported by customers.

Our service ensures regular checks of your websites, webshops, APIs, and similar services, alerting you promptly during outages. Additionally, you’ll receive detailed availability and performance reports over a selected timeframe.

I’m interested in one of the paid packages, but I’m hesitant to commit to a yearly subscription. Will this project be supported in the long run?

Absolutely! This project is backed by elpix GmbH, a German IT company founded in 2003. With over 20 years of experience working with well-known clients, we have built a solid foundation in the IT industry.
Unlike hobby projects developed by individuals, our plugin is a professionally maintained solution. Although we launched our WordPress plugin in February 2025, we are committed to its long-term development, continuous improvements, and dedicated support for our users. For further information please see https://website-checkups.com/impress/

Is the maximum number of checkups per subscription fixed?

No, the number of checkups is flexible within your chosen subscription. You can select from different usage options and switch between them at any time.

For example, with the Basic subscription (€10 per month), you can perform up to 6 website checkups per hour. Within this limit, you can choose from 7 different checkup intervals — such as one checkup every 10 minutes or two different checkups every 20 minutes, and so on.

This flexibility allows you to customize the checkup frequency based on your needs.

My website was offline, but I didn’t receive a notification. Why?

There are several possible reasons:

  • A cached version of your site was accessed during the checkups (e.g., via Redis, Varnish, AWS Frontend)
  • Your service continued running, but a local issue (e.g., internet connection, proxy, DNS) prevented access
  • The outage occurred between our scheduled checks
  • DNS issues affected your server but not the DNS server we used
  • The number of consecutive failed checks you set for notifications wasn’t reached
  • Notification delivery was delayed (e.g., email issues)

Consider our services a supplementary tool. For critical services, we recommend using additional monitoring tools.

I received an incorrect offline notification. Why?

False negatives can happen due to:

  • Server response time exceeding your checkups timeout setting
  • DNS discrepancies (e.g., DNS server issues or outdated entries)
  • Our checkup server’s IP is blocked by your server
  • SSL certificate errors that browsers may bypass without visible warnings
  • Temporary server overloads or network issues
  • Specified content fragments missing from the site during the check

To minimize false negatives, we recommend configuring notifications for at least the second consecutive failed check. Again, our service should complement, not replace, your existing monitoring tools.
