Bulletproof Foundation: Core Uptime & Network Checks
Start in 3 minutes with zero credit card. Everything you need to catch frontend downtime, backend crashes, and certificate failures.
Website & HTTP Uptime Monitoring
Probe your web apps, marketing sites, and landing pages at 30-second to 1-minute intervals from distributed global checkpoints. Track response times, latency trends, and 99.99% uptime SLAs.
- Multi-region synthetic probes across US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific
- Custom HTTP methods (GET, POST, HEAD, PUT) & request headers
- Content keyword verification (
contains/does_not_contain)
REST API & Webhook Monitoring
Test critical backend endpoints, payment callbacks, and microservices with deep payload validation. Don't wait for your frontend users to report that checkout broke.
- Custom Bearer tokens, API keys & basic auth headers
- JSON body parsing & exact field assertion matching
- Degraded performance alerting when endpoint latency exceeds threshold
DNS Record Hijack & Change Detection
DNS propagation errors, accidental registrar edits, or subdomain takeover attempts can quietly take your entire business offline. Pingzo continuously polls your DNS records and alerts the moment an unauthorized change happens.
- Continuous snapshotting of A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, and TXT records
- Instant alerts if root IP or nameservers change unexpectedly
- Protects mail routing (MX) and SPF/DKIM verification records
SSL Expiration & Domain Expiry Warnings
Expired SSL certificates cause scary browser red-screen warnings that kill conversions immediately. Forgetting to renew a domain registrar lease can lose you your brand. Pingzo tracks both automatically.
- Proactive reminders 30, 14, 7, and 1 day before expiration
- Full cipher suite, TLS handshake, and certificate chain validation
- Domain registrar WHOIS polling so auto-renew failures never surprise you
TCP/UDP Port Ping & Cron Job Heartbeats
Not all services run HTTP web servers. Directly probe database ports (Postgres, MySQL, Redis), SSH bastions, and VPN tunnels. Plus, catch silent batch worker crashes with 1-line curl heartbeats.
- Ping raw TCP & UDP ports: 5432 (Postgres), 6379 (Redis), 22 (SSH)
- 1-line curl heartbeat snippet for crontabs, Celery, and database backups
- Configurable grace periods so heavy tasks have time to finish
Region 1 (Singapore): 502 Bad Gateway ➔ Region 2 (Frankfurt): 502 Bad Gateway ➔ Region 3 (US East): 502 Bad Gateway
Scheduled DB migration: Sunday 02:00 - 03:00 UTC. Incident alerts paused, status page shows scheduled banner.
3-Strike Blip Protection & Maintenance Windows
Nothing burns out an engineering team faster than 3 AM wake-up calls caused by temporary ISP routing hiccups. Pingzo verifies failures across 3 separate geographic nodes before paging you.
- Consecutive 3-strike multi-region confirmation filters out transient jitter
- Schedule one-time or recurring maintenance windows to pause alerts
- Protects your official SLA percentages during deliberate upgrades
Enterprise-Grade Observability for High-Stakes Teams
Unlock real visitor performance metrics, automated incident escalation ladders, and domain security protection.
Real User Monitoring (RUM) with Zero Script Bloat
Synthetic checks only verify that your web server returned a 200 OK. Pingzo RUM tracks how actual visitors experience your site in production across devices, browsers, and slow 3G/4G connections.
- Google Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID/INP, CLS) tracked in real-time
- Ultra-lightweight <2KB async script with zero page speed penalty
- Multi-client agency reporting to demonstrate performance value
Core Web Vitals (P75 Real Traffic)
Production Outage Routing
WhatsApp & Slack alert. Awaiting engineer acknowledge.
Dispatches emergency Voice Call & SMS alerting.
War-room Slack channel, Discord, and CTO phone alert.
Multi-Stage On-Call Escalation Ladders
Stop paying \$29/seat every month for standalone on-call tools. Pingzo includes configurable multi-tier escalation schedules to guarantee zero dropped alerts during late-night incidents.
- Custom delay timers between stages (1 to 15 minutes)
- Failover from instant chat (WhatsApp/Slack) to voice calls & SMS
- Quiet hours & timezone-aware rotation schedules
Domain & IP Spam Blacklist (RBL) Protection
If your sending domain or server IP gets listed on an anti-spam Realtime Blackhole List (RBL), your transactional emails, password resets, and customer receipts silently bounce. Pingzo monitors dozens of global blacklists 24/7.
- Monitors major RBLs: Spamhaus (ZEN), Barracuda, SORBS, and SpamCop
- Instant alert if an IP or domain listing occurs so you can request delisting
- Protects business email deliverability and sender reputation score
Third-Party SaaS Dependency Tracking
When your application slows down or returns 500s, is it your code, or is an upstream vendor having an outage? Pingzo monitors the public health of your third-party providers and correlates outages automatically.
- Tracks Stripe, Cloudflare, OpenAI, AWS, GitHub, Lemon Squeezy, Neon
- Instant root-cause detection: know if Stripe is down before investigating
- Include dependency status badges on your public customer status page
Official WhatsApp Business Alerts & Multi-Channel
Email notifications get buried in crowded inboxes. Pingzo integrates directly with the Official Meta WhatsApp Business API so urgent outage and recovery alerts land on your phone with zero delay.
- Official WhatsApp Business templates with instant delivery confirmation
- Multi-channel support: Telegram, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Webhooks
- Detailed alert payload includes failing URL, status code, error, and timestamp
Cloud Auto-Sync & Custom Domain Status Pages
Satisfy SOC2, ISO, and enterprise compliance by streaming daily encrypted uptime summaries and incident post-mortems directly to your own AWS S3 or Google Drive. Plus, deflect support tickets with custom-branded status pages.
- Automatic encrypted daily JSON/CSV sync to AWS S3, Google Drive & Dropbox
- Custom domain status pages with custom logos, branding, and color palettes
- Password protection for internal private status pages & embeddable live widgets
Why Pingzo Beats the Alternatives
No other tool combines WhatsApp alerts, status pages, and India-friendly pricing in one package.
