We created WebGazer to provide simple, affordable and mission critical website monitoring service. We are so happy to hear any feedback and ready to improve ourselves.

WebGazer is a website monitoring service checking your website on a regular basis. It notifies you with instant alerts in case of a problem. That way, you have a piece of mind about the status of your service without manually checking it.

You can publish the performance overview of the gazers through WebGazer Status Pages. Status page is simply a gateway to users. Successful companies are now going transparent and removing the wall between users with public announcement pages

Publish performance of your system to users for more transparency.

Update for any ongoing difficulties on the infrastructure (we know everyone has their servers on fire now and then)

Close the gap between your DevOps and audience.

I currently use https://uptimerobot.com/ (free plan) and I'm happy with it. The free plan seems to offer more than yours (50 alert delivery targets & sites watched, same cadence, same metrics, public status pages included in free tier, including RSS, log exporting etc.). To upgrade to pro would also be 10x cheaper for a similar service-level[1,2]. Why should I switch?

Clicking 'Advanced Settings' when editing a Gazer gives a blank page for me in Firefox.

Is there a way to configure a check to have to fail across 2 or even 3 locations before being considered down?

Also, didn't see a list of data center locations and providers. Are you multi-provider (AWS, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean).

Yeah, and they aren't the only one.

Companies like https://hetrixtools.com/pricing/uptime-monitor/ are slightly more expensive but still alot cheaper.

Hey, thanks for the heads up. It should be fixed now :)

For the future it should be "peace of mind", rather than "piece of mind". English is confusing like that!
