Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the monitoring?

The plugin checks websites from your WordPress server, so accuracy depends on your server's connectivity and performance. For production monitoring, we recommend checking from multiple locations.

Can I monitor internal/private websites?

Yes, as long as your WordPress server can access the URLs, you can monitor internal websites, staging sites, or any accessible URLs.

What happens if my WordPress site goes down?

Since monitoring runs from your WordPress server, if your site goes down, monitoring will also stop. For critical monitoring, consider using external monitoring services as well.

Does this plugin slow down my website?

No, monitoring runs via WordPress cron in the background and doesn't affect your website's frontend performance. You can also adjust check frequencies to balance monitoring needs with server resources.
