WebsiteStatus is a software tool that alerts users when their website experiences downtime. It can help prevent potential revenue loss by quickly and efficiently notifying website owners when problems occur.
Using WebsiteStatus is equally simple, where users can add their website list to monitor, and adjust the refreshing interval according to their preferences. The dock icon displays the number of sites that are down, and the software records the site downtime in the log file. Expanding the window further shows the number of bytes transferred, seconds taken to transfer, bytes per second, last checked date, time, and HTML. Double-clicking on the row shows part of the downloaded HTML.
WebsiteStatus has unique features that include receiving emails every time there is a problem, and monitoring downtime every ten minutes. If the user prefers, they can limit the emails to status changes only. Besides this, the dock icon and log file also provide updates. It is also minimized in the background, and the only visible item consists of the dock icon.
There is a limitation with WebsiteStatus, where the unregistered version will count down from ten every time it is launched or refreshes after ten refreshes. On the other hand, the full version is identical, except that it lacks the countdown feature.
The latest software update of WebsiteStatus now has the ability to enter 'Tag to Find', which means specific text can be used to determine if a site is up. Previously, some tags were hardcoded. In summary, WebsiteStatus is an excellent software option for website owners who want to keep an eye on their website's status.
