HTTP status
Spot 4xx, 5xx and unexpected responses immediately.
Protocol layer
HTTP monitoring that exposes real downtime quickly
HTTP monitoring helps you detect abnormal responses, latency spikes and timeouts before they turn into customer tickets.
Response codes
Response time
Useful history
Latency
See slowdowns before they become full outages.
History
Compare incidents against normal behaviour across days or months.
Problem
A site does not always fail cleanly
Before a full outage, you often see intermittent timeouts, response degradation and scattered 5xx responses.
Answer
Measure HTTP state instead of guessing
URL Checker records each check state, raises incidents as soon as behaviour leaves the expected range and keeps a simple history to review afterwards.
Example
Concrete example
A marketing API stays reachable but its latency triples at specific hours. HTTP monitoring shows the drift before front-end forms become unusable.
Frequently asked questions
Is HTTP monitoring still useful if I already have logs?
Yes. Logs explain what happened, while HTTP monitoring alerts early from the outside.
Can I monitor only public URLs?
Yes. The product works well for public pages, API endpoints and login pages.
Is HTTP monitoring enough on its own?
Often yes, but adding content validation makes the business signal much stronger.
