Uptime Monitoring
Static Studio continuously monitors the availability of your deployed static websites to help you detect outages before they impact your visitors.
Unlike traditional uptime monitoring services, Uptime Monitoring is fully integrated into Site Health and combines availability checks with SSL, DNS, CDN and response time monitoring in a single dashboard.
Monitoring begins automatically after your first successful deployment.
Viewing Uptime
Open Sites → Site Health → Uptime to view the monitoring dashboard for a website.
The dashboard provides a real-time overview of your site's availability together with the latest health checks.
At the top of the page, you'll find a summary of your site's current status, including:
- Overall health
- Live HTTP status
- Response time
- DNS status
If all checks pass successfully, your site is considered Healthy.
Availability Checks
Static Studio continuously verifies that your public static website is reachable.
Each uptime check validates that:
- The website responds successfully
- The server returns a valid HTTP status
- Response times remain within acceptable limits
If your website becomes unavailable, the incident is recorded in Site Health and can trigger email alerts if configured.
Response Time
In addition to availability, Static Studio measures how quickly your website responds to requests.
The latest response time is displayed directly on the dashboard, along with your historical monitoring results.
While occasional fluctuations are normal, consistently high response times may indicate infrastructure or CDN issues that warrant investigation.
SSL Monitoring
Static Studio regularly verifies that your website's SSL certificate is available and functioning correctly.
SSL monitoring helps detect issues such as:
- Invalid certificates
- Expired certificates
- Failed HTTPS connections
A healthy SSL check confirms that visitors can securely access your website over HTTPS.
DNS Monitoring
DNS monitoring verifies that your domain continues to resolve correctly.
Site Health checks that:
- DNS records exist
- Your hostname resolves successfully
- DNS responses remain healthy
This helps identify domain configuration issues before they become noticeable to visitors.
CDN Monitoring
Static Studio also monitors your CDN endpoint to ensure content is being served correctly.
CDN checks verify that:
- The CDN is reachable
- Static assets can be delivered
- Requests return successful responses
Because every Static Studio deployment relies on the CDN, these checks provide an additional layer of confidence that your website is fully operational.
Health Timeline
The monitoring timeline provides a visual history of recent uptime checks.
Each block represents an individual health check.
Healthy checks are displayed in green, making it easy to spot outages or recurring problems over time.
Running a Manual Check
Although Site Health performs checks automatically, you can trigger a new uptime check at any time.
Click Recheck at the top of the Site Health report to immediately run supported health checks.
Click Refresh to reload the dashboard with the latest available monitoring data.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often are uptime checks performed?
Availability checks run automatically on a recurring schedule. Some checks, such as HTTP availability and response time, run more frequently than SSL or DNS validation.
Does Uptime Monitoring check my WordPress website?
No.
Uptime Monitoring checks your deployed static website, ensuring visitors can still access your site even if your WordPress installation is offline.
What happens if my site goes offline?
The failed check is recorded in Site Health.
If Alerts are configured, Static Studio can automatically notify your recipients via email once the configured threshold is reached.
Why is my site healthy even though response times increased?
A slower response time does not necessarily indicate downtime.
As long as your website remains reachable and responds successfully, Site Health considers the uptime check healthy while still reporting the measured response time.
Can I use Uptime Monitoring instead of a dedicated uptime service?
For most Static Studio deployments, yes.
Uptime Monitoring combines availability, response time, SSL, DNS, and CDN monitoring directly within Static Studio, eliminating the need for a separate monitoring service for many websites.
