HTTP/HTTPS Monitoring

Know instantly when your website or API goes down.

HTTP/HTTPS monitoring with regional checks, uptime history, performance metrics, and deep analytics—built for makers and teams that ship fast.

Setup takes 30 seconds. No credit card required.

Why HTTP monitoring matters

Every minute of downtime costs you users, revenue, and trust. Stay ahead of problems before they become disasters.

Downtime kills conversions

Every minute offline means lost sales, angry customers, and damaged reputation.

Slow sites lose users

47% of users expect pages to load in 2 seconds or less. Speed matters.

APIs break silently

Backend failures can go unnoticed for hours unless you're actively checking.

Users don't wait

If your site is down or slow, they'll go to a competitor. No second chances.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about HTTP monitoring

PerkyDash sends regular HTTP requests to your URL from multiple regions around the world. We check if your site responds correctly, measure how fast it loads, and verify it returns the expected content. If something goes wrong—a timeout, error, or unexpected response—you get alerted immediately.
Your site might be fast in the US but slow in Asia. Or your CDN might fail in Europe while working fine everywhere else. Regional monitoring reveals these issues so you can fix them before they impact real users. It's like having testers around the world checking your site 24/7.
For websites, aim for under 200ms. For APIs, under 100ms is ideal. Anything over 500ms feels noticeably slow to users. Response times vary by region—what's fast in one location might be slow in another. That's why regional monitoring matters.
Yes. Set your own thresholds for response time, expected status codes, and required content. Define what "healthy" means for your specific service. PerkyDash alerts you only when your custom conditions aren't met—no noise, just signal.
Absolutely. Because we check from multiple regions, we can detect when your site is down in one location but up in others. We also detect degraded states—when your site is technically up but responding slowly or returning errors intermittently.
Uptime is the percentage of successful checks over a time period. If we check every 5 minutes for 24 hours (288 checks) and 287 succeed, that's 99.65% uptime. We show both 24-hour and 30-day uptime so you can see short-term spikes and long-term trends.

Monitor your website the way your users experience it.

Fast setup, clear insights, reliable alerts.
