    11 Uptime monitoring for your website from WPCentrify. Get an email when your website stops answering, and another when it is back.

    1313== Description ==
    1414
    15 **MarQira Uptime Monitor** connects your WordPress website to [WPCentrify](https://wpcentrify.com), a website monitoring and management service that checks your site around the clock and emails you the moment it stops working.
     15[WordPress Uptime Monitoring](https://wpcentrify.com) that tells you your site is down before your customers do. This plugin connects your website to WPCentrify, a free uptime monitoring service that checks your site every 5 minutes and emails you the moment it stops loading. When it's back up, you get a second email saying how long it was down.
    1616
    17 Your website can go down at any time: a host outage, an expired domain, a broken update or a server error. Usually you only find out when a customer tells you. WPCentrify finds out first.
     17Most website owners find out about downtime the worst way: a customer calls, a sale is lost, or an advert keeps sending people to a page that won't open. Hosts have outages, domains expire, updates break things and servers run out of memory, often at night or at the weekend, when nobody is looking.
    1818
    19 **You need a WPCentrify account to use this plugin.** Monitoring one website is free for ever. Until you connect the website with a code from your account, the plugin sends nothing anywhere.
     19WPCentrify is a website uptime checker that never stops looking. It loads your site from outside, exactly as a visitor would, around the clock. Setup takes about two minutes: install the plugin, paste one code from your free WPCentrify account, and you're covered.
     20
     21= What is uptime monitoring? =
     22
     23Uptime monitoring means checking a website again and again, day and night, to make sure it still loads. When a check fails, the uptime monitor alerts you straight away, so you can fix the problem before visitors and customers notice. "Uptime" is the share of time your website is up and working, usually shown as a percentage such as 99.9%.
     24
     25= How WPCentrify uptime monitoring works =
     26
     271. Every 5 minutes, WPCentrify loads your website from its own servers, the way a visitor would.
     282. If your site does not answer, WPCentrify checks again to make sure it is really down, not just slow for a moment.
     293. Once the outage is confirmed, you get an email.
     304. When your site is back up, you get a second email saying how long it was down.
     315. Every outage is saved, so you can see your uptime history in your WPCentrify dashboard.
    2032
    2133= What you get =
    2234
    23 * **Website monitoring every few minutes.** WPCentrify checks your website from outside, the way your visitors reach it.
    24 * **Downtime alerts by email.** You are emailed when your website stops answering, and again when it is back, with how long it was down.
    25 * **Uptime history.** Your WPCentrify dashboard shows every outage and your uptime over time.
    26 * **Smarter than a ping.** The plugin reports in every few minutes, so WPCentrify can tell a server that is down from a website where only WordPress has stopped.
     35* **Free uptime checks every 5 minutes.** One website is free for good. Paid plans check as often as every minute.
     36* **Downtime alerts by email.** An email when your site goes down, and another when it's back, with how long it was down.
     37* **No false alarms from one slow page.** A site is only marked down after several failed checks in a row.
     38* **Uptime history.** See every outage and your uptime percentage over time.
     39* **Smarter than a ping.** The plugin also reports from inside WordPress, so WPCentrify can tell a server that is down from a site where only WordPress has stopped working.
     40* **Two-minute setup.** Install, paste one code, done. Nothing to configure.
     41* **Lightweight and private.** No cookies, nothing about your visitors, and no effect on page speed.
    2742
    28 = Manage multiple WordPress sites from one dashboard =
     43**You need a free WPCentrify account.** Until you connect your website with a code from that account, the plugin sends nothing anywhere.
    2944
    30 Looking after more than one website? WPCentrify is built for agencies, freelancers and businesses that manage multiple WordPress sites. See the uptime of every site you look after in one dashboard.
     45= Why use an uptime monitor plugin, not just an external uptime checker? =
    3146
    32 Paid WPCentrify plans cover more websites and add tools for managing them, such as updates, backups, security and reports. Those come with the full WPCentrify plugin, which you download from your WPCentrify account; this plugin never installs or changes plugins. Learn more at [wpcentrify.com](https://wpcentrify.com).
     47An external uptime checker can only see whether your home page answered. Because this plugin also runs inside WordPress, WPCentrify knows more: whether WordPress itself is running, whether its scheduled tasks are working, and whether your site is stuck in maintenance mode after an update. You also see your uptime in the same WPCentrify dashboard you can later use for updates, backups and security.
     48
     49= Who it's for =
     50
     51* **Website owners and small businesses** who want to know straight away when their site goes down, without paying for a monitoring tool.
     52* **Online shops**, where every minute of downtime is lost sales.
     53* **Freelancers and agencies** looking after clients' WordPress sites, who want to hear about an outage before the client does.

    5176== Frequently Asked Questions ==
    5277
     78= Is there a free uptime monitor for WordPress? =
     79
     80Yes. This plugin gives you free WordPress uptime monitoring from WPCentrify: one website, checked every 5 minutes, with an email when it goes down and when it's back. It's free for good, with no trial period and no card needed.
     81
     82= How do I know if my website is down? =
     83
     84Install this plugin and connect it to a free WPCentrify account. WPCentrify then checks your website every 5 minutes, day and night, and emails you as soon as it stops loading, so you don't have to keep checking it yourself.
     85
     86= How often does WPCentrify check my website? =
     87
     88Every 5 minutes on the free plan, and as often as every minute on paid plans. When a check fails, WPCentrify checks again before it emails you, so one slow response is not an alarm.
     89
     90= What happens when my website goes down? =
     91
     92WPCentrify emails you as soon as the outage is confirmed. When the site is back up, you get a second email saying how long it was down. Every outage is also listed in your WPCentrify dashboard.
     93
     94= What is a good uptime percentage? =
     95
     96Most websites aim for 99.9% uptime or better. 99.9% still allows about 43 minutes of downtime a month, so even a good host can leave your site down for a while without you knowing. Uptime monitoring tells you every time it happens.
     97
     98= Can I monitor more than one website? =
     99
     100Yes. Add each website to your WPCentrify account and install the plugin on each one. One website is free; paid plans cover more websites and add faster checks.
     101
    53102= Do I need a WPCentrify account? =
    54103
    55 Yes. The checking is done by WPCentrify's servers; the plugin is how your website and your account recognise each other. One website is free for ever.
     104Yes. The checking is done by WPCentrify's servers; the plugin is how your website and your account recognise each other. The account is free.
     105
     106= Will it slow my website down? =
     107
     108No. The plugin's report is a few hundred bytes. Where your server allows it, it is sent after a page has already been delivered, so nobody waits for it; otherwise it is sent by WordPress's own scheduled tasks.
    56109
    57110= Does it send anything before I connect it? =
    … …  
    63116Nothing. The plugin sends nothing about visitors and sets no cookies.
    64117
    65 = Will it slow my website down? =
    66 
    67 No. The report is a few hundred bytes. Where your server allows it, it is sent after a page has already been delivered, so nobody waits for it; otherwise it is sent by WordPress's own scheduled tasks.
    68 
    69118= How do I stop monitoring? =
    70119
    … …  
    75124Everything it stored is removed from your database. WPCentrify keeps the website's uptime history in your account; connecting the website again later, with a new code, picks the same history back up.
    76125
    77 = I moved to the full WPCentrify plugin. What happens to MarQira Uptime Monitor? =
     126= I moved to the full WPCentrify plugin. What happens to this plugin? =
    78127
    79 Once the full WPCentrify plugin is active and connected, MarQira Uptime Monitor stops reporting by itself and says on its settings page that you can delete it. The full plugin does everything MarQira Uptime Monitor did.
