Everything you need to protect your homepage
Multi-region homepage checks
Growth and Scale plans check your homepage from 5 regions simultaneously. If your homepage is down in one region only, you see exactly where, not a false global alarm.
Keyword verification
Verify that your homepage is not just returning a 200 status but actually rendering the correct content. Use keyword monitoring to check for your brand name, hero copy, or a critical CTA button.
Incident history
Every homepage outage is logged with start time, duration, root cause (if resolved manually), and alert history. Use it in post-mortems or share it with your hosting provider.
Instant Slack and email alerts
The moment your homepage fails two consecutive checks, Beaconmon fires to all configured alert channels simultaneously. Recovery alerts close the loop when the homepage comes back.
How homepage monitoring works
Set up in under 5 minutes. Alerts reach your team before customers notice.
- Add your homepage URL as an HTTP monitor in Beaconmon
- Optionally add a keyword check to verify the page content, not just the status code
- Set up email, Slack, or webhook alerts for your team
- Beaconmon checks every 30 seconds and alerts within 60 seconds of a confirmed failure
Frequently asked questions
How fast does Beaconmon detect homepage downtime?
A homepage failure is confirmed after 2 consecutive failed checks. On the Scale plan with 30-second intervals, that is within 60 seconds of the outage starting.
What is keyword verification?
Keyword monitoring checks that a specific word or phrase is present in the page response. For a homepage, you might verify your brand name or a key headline is present, catching cases where the server is up but the page is rendering blank.
Does Beaconmon monitor from multiple locations?
Yes. Growth and Scale plans check from 5 geographic regions. If your homepage is slow or down in one region, you see which one, eliminating false positives from single-location monitoring.
How long does Beaconmon retain incident history?
Incidents are retained for the lifetime of your account. Check result data (individual HTTP check records) is retained for 7 to 365 days depending on your plan.
Can I get SMS alerts for homepage downtime?
SMS alerts are on the Scale plan roadmap. Email, Slack, and webhook alerts are available on all paid plans today.
