Health checks

How Bowerdeck checks your sites and tells you when one goes down.

What is checked

Every project with a live URL is probed on a schedule. A change of status writes one incident: down, slow, or SSL expiring. The log stays short enough to read.

Alerts

When a site goes down or its certificate is about to expire, you get one email per check covering every site that changed, not one email per site. Recoveries are listed in that email too, but never trigger an email on their own. You can see everything on your Health page.

A site shows down but loads for me

Some hosts block unfamiliar visitors. Send us the URL at help@bowerdeck.com and we will look at why our check is being refused.
