The uptime monitor that doubles as your website uptime checker
PingPuffin is an uptime monitor and website uptime checker in one: we watch your URLs every minute, and you can run a free one-off check anytime from our homepage. No configuration needed—add a URL and you're live.
How our uptime monitor works
What your website uptime checker actually does
Check interval & reliability
Our uptime monitor checks your website or API every minute. We only alert you after we've confirmed an issue, so you avoid false alarms. As a website uptime checker, we measure response time, status codes, and redirects.
Free website uptime checker + continuous monitoring
Use PingPuffin as a one-off website uptime checker: paste any URL on our homepage and get an instant result with plain-English feedback. For ongoing peace of mind, add the same URL as a monitor and we'll watch it 24/7. One tool, two ways to use it.
Why use an uptime monitor?
An uptime monitor catches downtime before your customers do—campaign landing pages, APIs, client sites. When something goes wrong, Puffy the AI agent explains it in plain English and suggests fixes. No more decoding error codes at 3 a.m. Need a site down checker or downtime tracker? We've got you covered there too.
Use cases for your uptime monitor
Campaign pages, APIs, client sites—one website uptime checker for all of them.
Campaign & landing pages
Your uptime monitor watches every URL you're spending ad budget on. If a page goes down, you know in minutes—not hours.
APIs & endpoints
Use PingPuffin as a website uptime checker for APIs too. We ping any URL and alert you when response time or status goes wrong.
Client & portfolio sites
One uptime monitor can watch dozens of client sites. Share status pages with them and get plain-English incident reports.
