"Down" isn't always obvious
A site returning a 500 error, a broken redirect loop, or a DNS failure can all look different from a clean outage, but each still means visitors can't reach the page.
Uptime Monitoring Software
Uptime Monitoring Software for Websites
MonitorMojo helps you monitor website uptime alongside SSL certificate status, response time, and security headers. Run checks on-demand or schedule them as part of your monitoring workflow.

The Problem
Small misses turn into public failures fast.
Detection speed determines how bad an outage feels
The gap between a site going down and someone noticing is the real cost of downtime — the outage itself often can't be prevented, but a slow-to-notice one is worse.
A refresh-it-yourself habit doesn't scale past one site
Manually checking whether a site is up works for a single personal project. It stops working the moment you're responsible for more than one.
How It Works
1
Add your domain
Enter the website, subdomain, or client property you need to protect.
2
MonitorMojo checks it
Run a real reachability, HTTPS/SSL, response time, and configured health check.
3
Review what needs attention
Use the returned signals to decide what to fix before a browser error or complaint.
Features
Website health checks built for the signals teams forget until they hurt.
public
Reachability checks
Confirm a site actually responds to a real request, not just that a ping returns.
verified_user
HTTP status and redirect checks
See the actual returned status code and whether redirects land where they're supposed to.
event
Run on demand or on a schedule
Check right now, or set up recurring checks so downtime surfaces without you remembering to look.
domain
Domain expiration awareness
Catch a domain nearing expiration, since an expired domain takes a site offline the same way a server outage does.
api
API access
Trigger uptime checks from your own scripts or automation.
search_check
Proactive detection
Be the one who notices downtime first, instead of a customer or client telling you about it.
Who This Is For
Built for teams closest to the website.
Agencies and freelancers
Check every client site's reachability without refreshing each one by hand.
Small teams
Add basic uptime checking without a heavyweight monitoring stack.
Anyone past the one-website stage
Move beyond manual checks once you're responsible for more than a site or two.
Why MonitorMojo
Simple checks for real website risk.
Checks what "down" actually means
Reachability, status code, and redirect behavior are all reviewed, not just a simple ping.
Credit-based pricing
Pay for checks you run instead of a flat monthly fee regardless of how many sites you're actually watching.
Paired with the signals that often cause downtime
SSL and domain expiration are reviewed alongside reachability, since both are common causes of a site going down.
Workflow Guide
What this workflow means
Uptime monitoring software that tracks website availability, SSL certificate status, and response time to help you detect issues before users report them.
In practice, that means reviewing SSL certificate status, certificate expiry windows, renewal ownership, and post-renewal confirmation from one repeatable process instead of waiting for site owners and small teams to hear about a problem secondhand. A check can show whether a URL is reachable, whether SSL appears valid, how quickly the server responds, and whether selected headers are present — it does not replace a security audit or an incident-response team, but it makes the underlying signals visible before they turn into a bigger issue.
Who should use this
This is built for site owners and small teams — specifically for the moment of running a routine check before a visitor finds the problem first. A site returning a 500 error, a broken redirect loop, or a DNS failure can all look different from a clean outage, but each still means visitors can't reach the page. The same workflow is reusable by anyone with a public URL tied to revenue, leads, or reputation.
Detailed step-by-step workflow
Start by listing the URLs that actually matter for running a routine check before a visitor finds the problem first — not every page on the site, just the ones tied to revenue, signups, or trust. Define the check types for each: reachability, HTTP status, HTTPS/SSL status and expiry window, response time, redirects, and security header presence.
Set a cadence that matches the risk: a monthly review for low-traffic pages, a check right after every deploy for anything tied to revenue. When something fails, triage before assuming cause — hosting, DNS, SSL, code, cache, or a third-party script could all be responsible. Record an owner and a next review date, then re-check after the fix ships.
Checklist and template
Use this template for every review: [URL], [Check Type], [Status], [Issue], [Priority], [Owner], [Detected Date], [Next Review Date]. Describe what the check observed before assigning a root cause — 'response time increased' is a fact, 'hosting is the problem' is a guess until confirmed.
For a recurring report, group findings by reachability, SSL, response time, and security headers, and say plainly when a signal showed no issue rather than implying full coverage.
Common mistakes
The most common miss for site owners and small teams is checking only the homepage while a checkout, signup, or booking flow silently breaks. A close second is assuming SSL auto-renewal always works — it can fail quietly, and an external check is the only way to catch it before a browser warning does. The biggest framing mistake is treating one clean check as proof the whole site is covered.
Practical example
Picture running a routine check before a visitor finds the problem first. A scheduled check flags that a key page is slower than its usual baseline and a security header is missing. Confirm a site actually responds to a real request, not just that a ping returns. Instead of guessing, the team logs the observation, assigns an owner, and re-checks after the fix — turning "something feels off" into a closed-loop task with a timestamp attached.
How MonitorMojo helps
MonitorMojo runs the checks behind uptime monitoring software for websites — reachability, SSL, response time, and security headers — from one dashboard, with an API and CLI for teams that want it scripted into an existing workflow. Credit-based checks make it practical to run a review exactly when it matters: before a client call, after a deploy, or the moment someone asks whether the site is healthy.
FAQ
Questions teams ask before they check website health.
What counts as a website being "down"?
More than a simple failure to load — an unexpected error status, a broken redirect, or an unreachable server all count, and a check reviews for each of these rather than just whether a ping responds.
How is this different from just checking a site myself?
Manual checks work for one site; this replaces refreshing a browser tab with a repeatable check that scales to as many sites as you manage.
Can an expired domain cause the same problem as server downtime?
Yes. An expired domain takes a site offline just as effectively as a server outage, which is why domain expiration is reviewed alongside reachability rather than as a separate afterthought.
Can I trigger uptime checks from my own scripts?
Yes. A public API is available for running checks programmatically. Documentation is available at /api-docs.
How much does it cost to check multiple sites?
MonitorMojo uses credit-based pricing — you pay for checks you run. View current rates at /pricing.
