How often does WebsitePulse check my site?
WebsitePulse checks your site on a regular schedule, every minute on Pro and every 5 minutes on the free plan.
Check intervals by plan
- Free plan: every 5 minutes
- Pro plan: every minute
Each check sends a real request to your website from our servers, the same way a visitor would. We measure whether your site responds and how long it takes.
What time zone are checks in?
Checks happen continuously around the clock. The times shown in your dashboard are always in your local time zone, based on your device settings.
Can I change the check interval?
Not currently. The interval is set by your plan. Upgrading to Pro moves all your monitors to 1-minute checks automatically.
On Pro, a 1-minute check interval means you will know about an outage within 2 minutes of it starting (we alert after 2 consecutive failures by default). That is fast enough to act before most customers notice.
