Capability

Uptime monitoring that catches the minute the probe stops answering.

Uptime monitoring is the smallest piece of SiteGuardian worth knowing: a probe that pings your URL on a tight cadence, fires one loud email the second the probe fails, and fires one short email the minute recovery lands. No app, no SDK, no dashboard to learn.

What this tool does in one sentence
SiteGuardian probes your URL from multiple regions on a tight cadence (every minute on Pro, every five on Starter and Lifetime), and fires one loud alert email the second the probe fails plus one short recovery email when the URL answers again.
Best for
Small businesses that need to know the minute a site, storefront, or checkout endpoint stops answering — and that a single CDN edge blip will not falsely trip the inbox.
Compared to
A raw `curl` uptime loop or a freemium one-minute-cap monitor — SiteGuardian does the multi-region probing and the inbox-as-dashboard quietly by default.

Uptime monitoring in depth

  • What it is

    A watch that pings from many regions

    1. A single ping can miss an outage that only breaks in one country or one network — the URL works from the office but fails for a customer on a different CDN edge.
    2. SiteGuardian probes your URL from multiple regions on a tight cadence. A real outage trips the alert within the same probe cycle; a single-region hiccup does not.
    3. Pro plans check every minute; Starter and Lifetime check every five. Probes run from outside your site — no agent, no plugin, no install on the server.

  • Why small businesses run it

    Quiet inbox, loud minute

    1. The boring safeguard passes its own test: set it up once, the inbox stays quiet for weeks at a time.
    2. When something stops answering, you want to know before a customer does — one minute faster on Pro is the difference between the issue closing itself and a support ticket.
    3. One loud email per outage, one short email per recovery. No log-in, no dashboard tour, no app store. The inbox IS the dashboard.

  • What the alert email looks like

    One email. One URL. One timestamp.

    1. Subject: SiteGuardian alert — https://example.com answered with HTTP 502.
    2. Body: URL, status, timestamp in UTC, the next probe window.
    3. Recovery email lands the same minute the URL answers again, so the alert pair stays short and traceable.
