Get notified when a website changes
Refreshing a page every morning to see if something changed is slow and easy to forget. Here's how to have it checked automatically and get an email the moment it changes — in about a minute, for free.
Monitor a page for price drops
Waiting for a price to fall or an item to restock? Instead of checking the product page every day, have it watched automatically and get an email when the price or stock status changes.
Track terms of service changes
Vendors update their terms, privacy policies, and data processing agreements with little notice. Here's how to be told automatically whenever one of them changes, so you can review it before it affects you.
Monitor part of a web page
Most false alerts come from parts of the page you don't care about. Here's how to point a monitor at exactly one element using a CSS selector, even if you've never written one before.
Check if a website is down
A site won't load. Is it down for everyone, or is the problem on your end? Here's how to tell in a minute — and how to make sure you hear about the next outage before your users do.
Set up a free status page
A status page tells your users whether your service is working — so they don't have to ask. Here's how to publish one from your existing uptime monitors in a few minutes, and embed it on your own site.
