Clients report downtime before your team does
Without a check workflow, agencies learn about unreachable client sites from the client — not from a tool. That reversal damages the agency's credibility.
Website Downtime Monitoring
Catch website downtime before it becomes a client problem
Run reachability checks on client websites and review HTTP status signals before a down site turns into a support ticket or a complaint from the client.

The Problem
Small misses turn into public failures fast.
Downtime during campaigns wastes ad spend
An unreachable landing page during a paid campaign can miss leads and burn budget before anyone at the agency catches it.
Manual checks don't scale across client portfolios
Visiting each client URL manually is not realistic for agencies managing more than a handful of sites. A repeatable check workflow is the only way to keep up.
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 check
Verify whether a client website responds to a real server-side request and review the HTTP status code returned.
error
Status code review
See whether the returned status indicates a working site, a redirect chain, a server error, or a connection failure.
speed
Response time signal
Review how quickly the server responds and spot slow patterns that can accompany downtime events or overloaded servers.

SSL alongside reachability
Check HTTPS/SSL certificate signals in the same workflow as reachability so a single check covers both problem types.

Risk summary
Understand at a glance whether the site needs immediate follow-up or is within normal operating parameters.

Copy a clear check summary for client communication, incident notes, or internal handoff without manual write-up.
Who This Is For
Built for teams closest to the website.
Web agencies
Run reachability checks before client calls, after site changes, or as part of a regular account review to stay ahead of problems.
Freelance website managers
Check the sites you maintain after launches, platform migrations, or during periods of high traffic.
Client website managers
Keep key client properties visible and reviewable without relying on manual URL visits or waiting for a report.
Workflow Guide
What this workflow means
Website downtime monitoring for agencies managing client sites. Check reachability, HTTP status, and response signals before clients notice a problem.
In practice, that means reviewing response time, server latency, deployment changes, caching behavior, and third-party dependencies from one repeatable process instead of waiting for web agencies and client-services 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 web agencies and client-services teams — specifically for the moment of reviewing a client portfolio before a monthly report. Without a check workflow, agencies learn about unreachable client sites from the client — not from a tool. That reversal damages the agency's credibility. 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 reviewing a client portfolio before a monthly report — 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 web agencies and client-services 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 reviewing a client portfolio before a monthly report. A scheduled check flags that a key page is slower than its usual baseline and a security header is missing. Verify whether a client website responds to a real server-side request and review the HTTP status code returned. 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 catch website downtime before it becomes a client problem — 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 is website downtime monitoring?
Website downtime monitoring checks whether a website is reachable and responding correctly. MonitorMojo runs on-demand reachability checks that show whether a site responds, what HTTP status code is returned, and how long the response took.
How do I monitor website downtime for client sites?
Run a website health check before client calls, after deployments, or as part of a regular review workflow. MonitorMojo checks reachability, HTTP status, SSL signals, and response time in one workflow.
How does MonitorMojo check reachability?
MonitorMojo makes a real server-side request to the website URL and records whether it responds, the returned HTTP status code, and how long the response took. This is different from a browser visit and catches server-level failures.
What is the difference between downtime monitoring and full uptime monitoring?
Downtime monitoring using MonitorMojo is an on-demand check you run when needed or on a manual schedule. Full uptime monitoring runs continuously in the background and sends automated alerts. MonitorMojo is focused on on-demand checks for agency review workflows.
Can I check multiple client websites?
Yes. MonitorMojo is built for agencies managing multiple client sites. You can run checks across different client properties from the same workflow and review results in one place.
What HTTP status codes indicate a site is down?
HTTP 200 means the site is responding normally. Status codes in the 5xx range (server errors), 4xx errors on key pages, connection failures, or timeouts typically indicate the site is unreachable or experiencing problems.
