Monitor Your Landing Page Uptime 24 7

You have spent all that time, money, and resources on launching your campaigns, you certainly don’t want to send your respondents to a landing page that is not working! The solution is actually very simple.

No matter which server you host your landing pages on, incidents happen. You want to be notified immediately if there’s an issue causing your landing pages to be down.

Using an uptime monitoring service is a simple and effective way to keep an eye on your landing pages at all times. These services ping the URL of your landing page every few minutes to see if they get a response back. If they don’t they’ll send you a notification, so you can look into and fix the issue.

Here are a couple of monitoring services that I have used:

• UptimeRobot
• Better Uptime

They are both very good and offer a generous free plan. I like Better Uptime more, simply because I think their dashboard UI is, well, better. I have no business affiliation with either of these services.

Better Uptime claims to offer a “radically better monitoring infrastructure platform”. They also offer another service called Logtail which provides log monitoring for engineers.

Together their platform is called Better Stack. Their target audience seems to be primarily technical professionals. Their uptime monitoring service, however, is so easy to use that everybody can set it up in a few minutes.
