Frequently Asked Questions

How does WebsitePulseCheck work?

WebsitePulseCheck monitors websites in real-time by sending health checks from your browser to verify if a site is accessible. We measure response times and availability to determine if a website is up or down.

Is WebsitePulseCheck free to use?

Yes! WebsitePulseCheck is completely free. You can check unlimited websites without any registration or subscription required.

How accurate are the website status checks?

Checks run directly from your browser and are accurate for most public websites. Some sites block automated checks, which can show as an inconclusive result even when the site is up.

Can I monitor my own website with WebsitePulseCheck?

Absolutely! You can use WebsitePulseCheck to monitor your own website's uptime and performance. Simply enter your website URL and get instant health diagnostics.

What's the difference between a site being down for everyone vs just me?

If a site is down for everyone, the server itself is experiencing issues. If it's just you, the problem might be your internet connection, DNS cache, browser settings, or regional restrictions.
