Is your website working right now?

Pingstead opens it every five minutes from three countries and answers in plain words: it works, it works with a problem, or it does not open.

No payment details. Nothing to install on your server.

Example

Yes, example.com works.

How does it work?

Three things happen. You do only the first one, once.

  1. You add your site

    Enter its address. Nothing to install on your server.

  2. We open it, together

    Every five minutes, from three countries at the same moment.

  3. You get the answer

    In your account, in plain words, with the details one click away.

When does a site count as down?

We count votes. Every five minutes three places try to open your site; a place that fails tries once more after 10 seconds. If most of them still fail, the site does not open. If only one fails, it works — with a problem in that country.

A red vote counts only if the second try, 10 seconds later, also fails. One bad connection is never an alarm.

Is the padlock all right?

Yes, for 50 more days

The security certificate puts the padlock next to your address. We show when it runs out and whether browsers trust it.

Do you send alerts?
