Up - the site answered normally. If it still will not load for you, it is your connection, DNS cache, VPN, or browser, not the site.
Slow - it answered, but the first byte took more than 3 seconds. Visitors bounce and Google notices.
Down - the domain does not resolve, the server refused or timed out, or it returned a 500-series error. It is down for everyone.
SSL problem - the certificate is expired, wrong for the domain, self-signed, or expires within 14 days. Browsers show "Your connection is not private" and checkouts stop.
Do not find out from a customer. We check your sites around the clock and email you when one goes down and again when it is back.
Billing is handled by Stripe: secure checkout, automatic receipts, and a self-serve portal to change sites, switch plans, update your card, or cancel.
Need servers, ports, email, or anything else watched? Able Watch Pro covers it with a human on the other end.
Enter the address above. We check it from our server in the US, not your browser. If we get a normal response, the site is up and the problem is likely your network, DNS cache, VPN or browser. If we cannot reach it, it is down for everyone.
DNS resolution, whether the server accepts a connection, the HTTP status code, response time (time to first byte), redirects, and the SSL certificate: whether it is valid, matches the domain, and how many days until it expires.
If the domain does not resolve, check domain renewal and DNS records. If the connection is refused or times out, the web server or firewall is the usual cause. HTTP 500-series errors point to the application, PHP or database. An SSL error usually means the certificate expired or auto-renew failed. Need it fixed now?

We flag a site as slow when the first byte takes longer than 3 seconds. Common causes are an overloaded server, slow database queries, missing caching, or a struggling hosting plan.
Checks run from ableadmins.com in the US. We do not store page content; we keep only the domain, result and time for traffic stats. Private and internal addresses are refused.
