UptimeBeacon is a free uptime monitor for websites, APIs and cron jobs. We check every 30 seconds from 8 regions and alert you via Slack, SMS, email or PagerDuty the moment downtime starts — before your users notice.
The average outage goes undetected for 18 minutes when you rely on user complaints. With UptimeBeacon, your phone buzzes in under 60 seconds — confirmed from multiple regions before we bother you.
Paste a link. Pick a check type — HTTPS, Ping, TCP, SSL, or Cron. We start watching in under 10 seconds. No agents, no code changes, no firewall rules.
Slack, SMS, email, webhook, PagerDuty — with escalation policies and on-call rotations. The right person wakes up. The rest of the team doesn't.
When something breaks, you'll hear about it in under a minute. When everything's fine, you won't hear from us at all. That's the whole product.
We were monitoring with a homegrown ping script and a prayer. Now we get told about issues 10 minutes before our support inbox notices.
The escalation policies are the killer feature. Nobody on my team gets paged unless it's actually their problem.
Status pages used to take us a sprint. UptimeBeacon had ours running in under an hour.
