Uptime monitoring that catches downtime before customers do

Yes, WebPixie can monitor authenticated websites and endpoints when you provide the required access details in the monitor settings. Uptime monitoring supports authentication, custom HTTP methods, custom headers, expected status codes, and body keyword validation, so you can check private dashboards, staging pages, API health endpoints, or password-protected URLs. For HTTP Basic Authentication, you can configure the username and password needed for the request. For token-based access, you can use custom headers when the endpoint accepts a static header value. WebPixie then evaluates the authenticated response using the same down-detection logic used for public pages, including multiple check attempts and cross-location verification on paid plans, and confirmed failures can open an incident. Use least-privilege credentials created only for monitoring, and contact support if your authentication flow requires something more complex.

Yes, WebPixie can monitor multiple websites, APIs, services, and HTTP endpoints across your infrastructure. Uptime monitoring supports HTTP and HTTPS checks with custom methods, headers, expected status codes, authentication, and body keyword validation, so each endpoint can have rules that match its purpose. You can monitor production sites, status endpoints, landing pages, API health routes, staging URLs, and other reachable services in the same workspace. Capacity is plan-based: site limits are Free (3 sites), Starter (10 sites), Pro (50 sites), Enterprise (unlimited), and uptime check limits are Free (5), Starter (20), Pro (50), Enterprise (unlimited). Use workspace management to organize services by team, environment, client, or product area, and configure notifications per resource. You can compare all limits on the pricing page.

You can monitor any publicly accessible website or service, including corporate sites, e-commerce stores, blogs, web applications, marketing landing pages, status pages, and API endpoints. Uptime monitoring works over HTTP and HTTPS and supports custom ports, custom request methods and headers, expected status codes, and body keyword checks, so each target can have rules that match what it actually serves. Sites that sit behind HTTP Basic auth or a static header token can be monitored too, as long as you supply those access details. Beyond availability, the same domain can also be watched for SSL, DNS, domain expiry, and link health in one workspace. How many sites and uptime checks you can run depends on your plan, which you can compare on the pricing page.

Uptime affects SEO by keeping your pages reachable for search engine crawlers and real users. A brief outage may not cause an immediate ranking change, but repeated downtime can interrupt crawling, reduce trust in page availability, waste crawl opportunities, and create poor user signals when visitors land on errors. Uptime monitoring helps you detect access problems quickly, including timeouts, unexpected status codes, and missing expected content. For marketers, this matters most on high-value pages such as campaign landing pages, product pages, checkout flows, and content that receives frequent organic traffic. WebPixie pairs uptime checks with multiple check attempts and cross-location verification on paid plans to reduce false positives before alerting your team. For search visibility, combine uptime checks with the Indexability Checker and Link Crawler to catch blocked pages, broken links, and crawlability issues.

Yes, you can monitor campaign landing pages and find out fast when one is broken, slow, or incorrect. Uptime monitoring can check each landing page for reachability, response time, expected status code, redirects, and body keywords such as a campaign headline or form text. This helps catch issues like expired pages, failed deployments, broken tracking redirects, server errors, and missing conversion elements while campaigns are active. You can configure alerts through the notification channels available on your plan, so marketing, growth, or DevOps teams can respond before budget is wasted. For page-quality issues beyond availability, the Main Page Analyzer can surface caching, header, redirect, canonical, and meta problems that may affect conversion or search visibility. Use the Link Crawler to find broken links connected to campaign pages.

Yes, WebPixie can monitor staging, development, preview, and production environments when they are reachable by WebPixie checks. Public staging URLs can be monitored with standard uptime monitoring, including expected status codes, response time checks, body keyword validation, and custom request settings. Password-protected or token-protected environments can also be checked when you configure supported authentication details, such as Basic auth credentials or static custom headers. Teams often organize staging, development, and production monitors in separate workspaces or resource groups so permissions and alerts stay clear. Workspace management helps control who can create monitors, view reports, or change settings, and plan limits can be compared on the pricing page.

Yes, WebPixie shows response time data for landing pages during uptime checks. Uptime monitoring measures how long each monitored page takes to respond from the selected monitoring locations, so you can spot slowdowns, timeouts, and regional access problems while campaigns are running. This is especially useful for ad landing pages, checkout entry points, lead forms, and campaign pages where slow server response can reduce conversions. WebPixie can also validate expected status codes and body keywords, helping confirm that the page is both reachable and serving the right campaign content. The Main Page Analyzer adds technical context by checking response time, protocol behavior, redirect chains, cache headers, cookies, and other header-related issues. For broken or slow linked destinations, combine this with the Link Crawler.

WebPixie alerts you when a monitored page becomes unreachable or fails the conditions you configured. No monitoring tool can guarantee that a search engine has not attempted to crawl during an outage, but fast detection helps reduce the duration and SEO risk of availability problems. Uptime monitoring checks for timeouts, connection failures, unexpected status codes, redirects, and missing expected content, then uses multiple check attempts and cross-location verification on paid plans to reduce false positives before opening an incident. Alerts are sent by email on every plan, with Slack and webhooks available on eligible plans, so the right team can act quickly. Confirmed outages can be tracked through incident management, including severity, affected resource, and closure timing. For search-specific risk, combine outage alerts with the Indexability Checker to catch crawl-blocking configuration problems.

Website monitoring is important because it gives you fast visibility into availability, security, and domain problems that can affect customers. If your site is down, slow to respond, serving errors, or failing expected content checks, visitors may leave before they buy, submit a form, or trust your business. Uptime monitoring helps catch outages and response problems early, while SSL and domain expiry checks give lead time before renewal deadlines. DNS checks show record changes with old and new values, so you can review misconfigured records without waiting for a customer complaint. For business owners, SSL monitoring and domain monitoring are especially important because certificate and domain expirations are predictable problems with clear renewal dates.

Downtime cost depends on your traffic, revenue model, lead value, and how long customers cannot complete key actions. For an ecommerce site, the cost may be lost orders and abandoned carts; for a service business, it may be missed forms, phone calls, bookings, or paid campaign traffic. A practical estimate is to combine expected revenue or lead value per minute with support time, ad spend waste, and recovery work. Uptime monitoring helps reduce that exposure by checking your site on a recurring schedule and alerting when configured response rules fail. Confirmed outages can open incidents through incident management, so your team can track impact and closure history. If you want to check right now whether a site is down, run a free one-off check with the Website Down Checker. Monitoring interval and notification options vary by plan, so review the pricing page when estimating coverage needs.

If your website goes down at night or on the weekend, WebPixie can still detect the outage and send alerts. Uptime monitoring runs on the interval available for your plan and checks your configured response rules, such as status code, timeout, authentication, headers, or body keyword expectations. To reduce false positives from network-related problems such as timeouts or connection errors, WebPixie makes up to 4 check attempts with exponential backoff before treating the issue as confirmed. On paid plans, if all attempts fail, WebPixie also runs verification checks from other locations before opening an incident. When the failure is confirmed, WebPixie can open or update an incident through incident management and notify the channels available on your plan, such as email, Slack, or webhook. This helps the right person respond even outside office hours. Check intervals, locations, and notification options vary by plan, so compare coverage on the pricing page.

When you reach your plan’s monitor limit, WebPixie prevents creating additional monitors until you upgrade or free capacity. Existing monitors continue working according to your current subscription, but the dashboard will not let you add another monitor beyond the plan allowance. To add more checks, upgrade to a plan with higher site or monitor limits, or remove an existing monitor you no longer need. You can compare included site, uptime monitor, link crawl, user, retention, and report limits on the pricing page. If you need more frequent recurring checks, a higher plan may also reduce the minimum interval available for uptime monitoring. For account-specific limit questions or Enterprise capacity, contact support.

WebPixie has two layers of false-positive protection for uptime checks. First, when a check hits a network-related failure such as a timeout or a connection error, WebPixie makes up to 4 check attempts with exponential backoff, so a brief blip does not open an incident. Second, on paid plans, if all attempts still fail, WebPixie runs verification checks from other locations before opening an incident. If the site is reachable from those locations, no incident opens and the failed check is recorded as unverified rather than confirmed down, and it is left out of your uptime percentage instead of counting as downtime. Failures that are not network-related, like an unexpected status code or a keyword mismatch, open an incident on the first attempt, because they reflect a real response from the server. You also control what counts as up: an accepted status-code list, keyword checks for content that must or must not appear, and a configurable request timeout all shape the verdict. When a failure is confirmed, it flows into incident management with a severity and a type; when checks recover, the incident closes automatically and is marked resolved. Per-plan check intervals are on the pricing page.
