What it does
Add a website URL and Websites With Punch monitors the whole host. Scheduled HTTP(S) checks, SSL expiry reads and domain lookups run in the background. Each site is checked once a day. The dashboard shows up or down status, the latest response time and status code, SSL days left and domain days left. SSL and domain days turn amber at 30 days and red at 7 days. Domain expiry comes from best-effort RDAP/WHOIS lookups. Email alerts are sent when a site goes down and when it recovers. Email alerts are also sent 30, 7 and 1 day before an SSL certificate or domain expires. Alerts are not real-time, because checks run daily and whenever Recheck is pressed.
