Uptime monitoring
Know when your site goes down before your users do

Uptime monitoring built into your analytics
Rather than managing a separate uptime tool and a separate analytics tool, GhostlyX brings both into one dashboard. You can see your site's availability history alongside your traffic data, making it easy to correlate downtime incidents with drops in visitor numbers.
Each uptime monitor performs an HTTP check against the URL you specify. If the check returns a non-200 status code or times out, GhostlyX registers the incident and sends an alert immediately. A recovery notification is sent when the site comes back up.
Monitoring Features:
- Check intervals: 1-minute intervals are available on the Scale plan for up to 50 monitors.
- HTTP and HTTPS monitoring: Verifies the response status code.
- Instant downtime alerts: Email notifications sent when a check fails, with URL, timestamp, and HTTP status.
- Recovery notifications: Sent when the site comes back online.
- Response time tracking: Records response time and trends over days and weeks.
- Availability percentage: Shows availability as a percentage over the last 7, 30, and 90 days.
- Multiple monitors per account: Monitor various URLs independently.
Frequently asked questions
What is website uptime monitoring?
Website uptime monitoring is an automated process that sends HTTP requests to your site at regular intervals and alerts you if the site fails to respond correctly. GhostlyX uptime monitoring checks your URL every 1 to 5 minutes depending on your plan and sends an immediate email alert when a check fails three times in a row.
How often does GhostlyX check my site?
Check frequency depends on your plan. The Business plan checks every 5 minutes. The Scale plan supports 1-minute intervals. Both plans send instant alerts when a check fails.
How many monitors can I set up?
The Business plan includes 10 uptime monitors. The Scale plan includes 50 monitors. Each monitor tracks one URL independently.
What counts as downtime?
A check is considered failed if the HTTP response status is not in the 200 range, or if the check times out after 30 seconds. Three consecutive failed checks must occur before an alert is sent to avoid false positives from transient network issues.
Will I get alerted for every single failed check?
No, to reduce false positives, GhostlyX requires three consecutive failed checks before triggering a downtime alert. Once downtime is confirmed, a single alert is sent. You will not receive repeated alerts for the same incident.
Can I monitor pages that require authentication?
Uptime monitoring performs unauthenticated HTTP checks. It is best suited for monitoring publicly accessible URLs such as your homepage, health check endpoint, or status page.
Does uptime monitoring work alongside analytics?
Yes, GhostlyX combines uptime monitoring and analytics in one dashboard. You can see your availability history alongside your traffic data, making it easy to correlate downtime incidents with drops in visitor numbers without switching between tools.
