Simple website downtime alerts
Know the moment your site goes down — before your customers tell you. No confusing dashboards, just clear email alerts you can actually understand.
Why you need downtime alerts
Your website is your storefront. When it's down, you're losing customers and money — and you might not even know it until someone calls to complain. A plumber, restaurant owner, or Squarespace site shouldn't need to be a tech expert to know their site stopped working.
KeepPaw checks your site every minute and emails you in plain English the instant something breaks. No confusing error codes, no complex dashboards — just alerts that tell you exactly what's wrong so you can fix it or forward it to your web person.
What makes KeepPaw simple
- Checks every minute. We ping your site 24/7 and catch outages within seconds, not hours.
- No false alarms. Built-in protection means you won't get woken up at 2am for a 30-second hiccup that fixed itself.
- Plain-English alerts. Get emails that say "Your site isn't loading" instead of "502 Bad Gateway" — language you can understand and forward to whoever fixes your site.
- SSL certificate warnings. We warn you 30, 14, 7, and 1 days before your security certificate expires — so browsers never scare visitors away.
- Domain expiry tracking. Get notified before your domain expires — if that lapses, your website AND email stop working.
- 60-second setup. Just your website URL and email address. No complicated configuration, no credit card to start.
How it works
- Give us your site URL. That's it — no technical setup required.
- We watch every minute. Uptime, SSL certificate, domain registration, DNS — the schnauzer keeps an eye on everything.
- Get instant alerts when something breaks. Clear email (or SMS) the moment your site goes down, with another message when it's back up.
- Forward it to your web person. Our alerts are written so you can send them straight to whoever fixes your site — no translation needed.
