Website uptime monitoring that checks the response users depend on
UptimeSure sends HTTP or HTTPS requests to the URL you configure and records each check as UP or DOWN. It is built for operators who need a clear availability signal, incident history and recovery notifications without pretending that a synthetic request is a full browser test.
A website monitor is an HTTP/HTTPS check against one exact URL. You choose the interval allowed by your plan, request timeout, confirmation threshold and an optional keyword that must appear in the response body.
A check fails when the request cannot complete before the timeout, the response status is outside the configured set, the optional keyword is missing, or another network/TLS error prevents a valid response. Consecutive failures can be required before the monitor becomes DOWN.
Successful checks are stored as heartbeats. Confirmed failures open an incident; recovery closes that incident. Maintenance windows can suppress downtime alerts while planned work is active.

Alerts and recovery
Link one or more Email, Telegram, Webhook, Slack or Discord channels. Per-link delay and recovery delivery controls let you avoid noisy notifications for very short outages.
Example
Example: monitor https://example.com/health every 60 seconds, accept HTTP 200, require the text “ok”, and confirm DOWN after two consecutive failures.
Frequently asked questions
Does UptimeSure run a real browser?
No. V1 website monitoring is an HTTP/HTTPS request monitor. Browser rendering and Lighthouse checks are not V1 features.
Can I require text in the response?
Yes. HTTP monitors support an optional expected keyword.
Can planned maintenance avoid alerts?
Yes. One-off maintenance windows suppress monitoring alerts while the window is active.
