Managing Websites

The core of Uptimeify is the Website Monitor. This guide explains how to add new websites, configure check settings, and manage existing monitors.

Adding a New Website

1. Log in to your dashboard.
2. Navigate to Websites in the sidebar.
3. Click the Add Website button.
4. Enter the URL (e.g., https://example.com).
5. Give it a friendly Name.
6. Click Create Website.

Once created, Uptimeify will immediately start checking the site from our global network.

Configuration Options

Check Interval

By default, we check your website every 60 seconds. You can adjust this interval in the website settings if you need more frequent or less frequent checks.

Check Locations

We monitor from multiple locations by default. You can enable or disable specific regions if your website is geo-blocked or only relevant to a specific audience.

Advanced Settings

• Follow Redirects: Choose whether the monitor should follow HTTP 301/302 redirects.
• SSL Verification: Enable strict SSL verification to catch certificate errors.
• Custom Headers: Add custom HTTP headers (e.g., Authorization, User-Agent) for monitoring protected endpoints.

Pausing Monitoring

If you are planning maintenance or expect downtime, you can pause monitoring to prevent alerts.

1. Go to the Websites list.
2. Find your website.
3. Toggle the Active switch to Off.
4. Remember to turn it back on when you're done!

Alternatively, use Maintenance Windows for scheduled downtime.
