Free Uptime & Performance Tools

Quick checks for whether a site is up, how fast it responds, and what its uptime really means in real time. No signup required.

Why this matters

Uptime and performance are the two metrics every customer feels first. A site that's down loses sales immediately. A site that's slow loses sales gradually — every extra second of TTFB shaves percentage points off conversion.

These four tools cover the basics in 60 seconds: confirm a URL responds, measure how fast it responds, get a single A+ to F health score across five categories, and translate a vague 'high availability' SLA promise into the actual minutes of allowed downtime per year.

Want continuous monitoring instead of one-off?

Each tool above runs a one-off check. To get alerted whenever something changes, set up a continuous monitor:

The foundational up/down check from the edge with two-confirmation logic. Catches what HTTP Status Checker shows you, but every minute, automatically, with alerts.

Continuous version of Speed Test. Set warn and critical thresholds — be alerted before slow becomes downtime.

Verify a critical button, headline, or copy block is still on the page. Catches the broken-page-with-200-OK failures that pure uptime checks miss.

Alert when page weight balloons unexpectedly — a common cause of TTFB regression after a deploy or a CMS asset upload.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between these tools and continuous monitoring?
Each tool runs a one-off check at the moment you click the button. Continuous monitoring runs the same check every minute (or every 5 minutes) automatically, and alerts you the moment something changes. The Free Uptrue plan includes 3 continuous monitors with email alerts.
Which tool should I run first?
The Website Health Score. It bundles HTTP status, SSL, DNS, security headers, and performance into a single A+ to F grade, so you spot the worst category first. Then drill into individual tools (Status Checker, Speed Test) for the failing categories.
How accurate is the speed test from one location?
Accurate for the test region. Real-world performance varies by user location, network, and time of day. For a representative view, set up Response Time monitoring on your domain — Uptrue runs continuous checks and tracks the rolling 24-hour average.
What uptime percentage should I aim for?
99.9% (8h 45m of allowed downtime per year) is the default starting point. 99.95% suits scale-ups with paying customers. 99.99% (52 minutes per year) requires multi-region failover. Run the SLA Calculator to see what each tier costs in actual minutes.
Are these tools really free?
Yes. Every tool runs against our edge network — no signup, no email capture, no rate limit beyond basic abuse protection. Run them on any public URL as many times as you want.
