Our mission is to keep the internet running.
UptimeCheck started when we were tired of finding out our sites were down from angry tweets instead of our monitoring tools. We decided to build a better watchtower for the modern web.
The Story
As developers, we've all been there: it's 3 AM, your phone blows up, and by the time you log in, your service has been quietly timing out for the last hour. Your current monitoring tool was pinging every 5 minutes from a single location that was routing incorrectly.
We built UptimeCheck because we needed a tool that was ridiculously fast, globally aware, and didn't cost a fortune for basic features.
Today, UptimeCheck is powered by an edge-first architecture with distributed validators that check your endpoints from multiple global regions every 60 seconds. If something blinks, you know before your users do.
What we believe in
The core principles that guide our product decisions.
Built for the Modern Web
We believe monitoring should be as fast and globally distributed as the applications you build. That's why we built our engine from the ground up for edge architectures.
Speed is a Feature
Sub-minute monitoring isn't a premium feature—it's the baseline. Getting an alert 5 minutes after an outage is 5 minutes too late.
Developer First
We don't hide our core functionality behind enterprise paywalls. Our free tier is designed to genuinely support individual developers.
Open Core Philosophy
Transparency is critical for monitoring tools. We build in the open so you can trust the systems that watch your systems.
