Website monitoring and diagnostics

Know when it breaks. Understand why.

Ravnsight monitors your websites from the outside and only alerts you when something is really wrong. For WordPress, Ravnsight Detective also shows what happened, what changed and what most likely caused it.

Monitoring

Everything that can take a site down, watched from outside

Pages, certificates, domain registration, DNS, APIs, ports and cron jobs – one site, as many monitors as you need, checked from our nodes in the EU.

  • HTTP with full timing breakdown and content checks
  • Certificate and domain expiry warnings, weeks ahead
  • DNS drift, API/JSON assertions, TCP ports, heartbeats
  • Works for any site – WordPress, Shopify, custom, API
shop.example.com
30 d 99.98 %
  • HTTP · / 412 ms Up
  • HTTP · /checkout 688 ms Up
  • Certificate 61 d Up
  • Domain 27 d Warning
  • DNS · A, MX Up
  • Heartbeat · nightly backup 02:14 Up

Response time, last check

No false alarms

Confirmed from a second country before anyone is woken

A failed check is retried from the same node, then confirmed from another country. Only a confirmed outage opens an incident. Slow is shown, never paged.

  • Retry after 10 s and 20 s, then confirm elsewhere
  • Flapping grouped into one incident
  • Published methodology – read exactly how it works

shop.example.com · /checkout Confirmed down
  1. 14:31:02Check failed – HTTP 503 Frankfurt
  2. 14:31:12Retry failed Frankfurt
  3. 14:31:32Retry failed Frankfurt
  4. 14:31:40Confirmed from a second country Helsinki
  5. 14:31:41Alert sent Slack · SMS

A single failed check never alerts. 38 seconds from first failure to a confirmed alert.

Optional · for WordPress sites

From "the site is down" to "it was this plugin"

Ravnsight Detective is a free WordPress plugin that records updates, errors and performance inside the site. Connected to Ravnsight, it lines them up with what the monitor saw. You do not need WordPress to use Ravnsight – and Detective never changes anything on your site.

  • Grouped PHP errors with component attribution
  • Timeline of plugin, theme and core updates
  • Correlation, never guesses – contradicting evidence is always shown
About the plugin →
Checkout down since 14:35 Confidence: HIGH
14:31Plugin "WooPay Gateway" updated 2.3.0 → 2.4.0 14:34PHP fatal: Call to undefined method … gateway.php:212 (×14) 14:35External monitor: /checkout HTTP 500, confirmed

Hypothesis

The outage is strongly correlated with the update of WooPay Gateway.

Supporting: 14 fatals in the plugin, none before 14:31. Contradicting: none found.

Common questions

Ravnsight watches your website from the outside and tells you when something is wrong – before your customers do. It checks that pages load, that certificates and domains are valid, that DNS has not changed, and alerts the right people when an outage is confirmed.

For WordPress sites, the Ravnsight Detective plugin (coming) adds the inside view: errors, plugin changes and performance, correlated with what the monitor sees.

Pro checks every minute instead of every 5, monitors 5 sites, unlocks DNS, API, TCP and heartbeat monitors, critical-page monitors, alert channels beyond e-mail (Slack, SMS, webhooks…), staged alerts with reminders, maintenance windows, status pages and reports, and keeps 13 months of history. Agency and Partner are Pro for many sites.

A single failed check never alerts anyone. When a check fails we retry after 10 and 20 seconds from the same location, then ask a second location in another country to confirm. Only a confirmed outage becomes an incident and an alert. If your site is slow but answering you see degraded instead – visible, not paged.

Yes. The Free plan monitors one site every 5 minutes with HTTP, certificate and domain-expiry checks, content checks and e-mail alerts, with 30 days of history. No card, no trial clock. Upgrade to Pro when you need more sites, 1-minute checks, more monitor types or Slack/SMS alerts.
