Best Website Monitoring Software in 2026
Updated
Keeping tabs on site availability involves more than checking whether a page responds. Compared on check types, latency monitoring, and page health checks, these tools also offer distinctions such as SSL monitoring, maintenance windows, API access, and status pages. Review free-plan availability and paid-from pricing as part of the fit. HostTracker, Tallwatch, and WebSitePulse are options to consider; focus on the signals you need to monitor and whether you want monitoring information available through an API or shared on a status page.
