WebSitePulse review
A low-cost monitoring service with broad checks, detailed timing data, and a 30-day trial.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
WebSitePulse is a web-based monitoring service for website owners, IT teams, and e-business operators. It covers website availability, response time, page content, DNS, servers, network devices, web transactions, email systems, and SSL/TLS certificates. Monitoring is available through browser-based control panels and mobile applications, with support for web, iOS, Android, and Windows. It suits teams that need protocol, page-health, and certificate checks rather than availability monitoring alone.
Pricing is organized per monitoring target per month. The PING basic 15 min plan costs $3 per target monthly and includes one monitoring location with a 15-minute interval. HTTP performance 10 min costs $9 per target monthly and uses a 10-minute interval. HTTP advanced 5 min costs $14 per target monthly, adds a 5-minute interval, and includes forced monitoring at 3-minute intervals. A 30-day free trial is available, while the published plans do not include a free plan. Paid tiers add faster checking, while the service also provides a broad set of alert channels, scheduled downtime rules, public reports, and real-time status views.
Its strongest technical distinction is the combination of geographic monitoring and detailed response timing. WebSitePulse can break response time into DNS, connection, redirect, first byte, and last byte stages, while also checking keywords, file size, page components, SSL/TLS validity, OCSP, and CRL status. Alerts can reach teams through email, SMS, voice call, messaging, push notification, SNMP, and URL, with WSDL and HTTP API access for monitoring data. Choose WebSitePulse for configurable, low-cost monitoring across multiple check types; choose another service if a free plan or a broader prebuilt ecosystem is central to the buying decision.
