Hear about WordPress downtime before customers do
PingView checks your site externally and sends alerts according to your monitoring setup, with current status visible inside WordPress.
PingView
WordPress site protection
Email downtime alerts
Get notified when PingView detects that the monitored site is unavailable.
Dashboard status
Open WordPress and see whether the site is currently healthy or needs attention.
Plan-based channels
Use the PingView dashboard when you need more notification options and stronger coverage.
Alert gaps
Downtime is worse when the warning arrives late
Customers report the issue first
That creates pressure, support noise, and a weaker first impression for new visitors.
One inbox is easy to miss
As sites become more important, alert routing and ownership need to be clear.
No context means slower recovery
A useful alert should help you decide whether the problem is availability, SSL, response time, or a wider service issue.

WordPress downtime alerts FAQ
What alert do I get first?
The plugin setup starts with email-based notification through PingView. Additional options depend on your PingView plan and settings.
Does the plugin send alerts from WordPress?
No. PingView owns monitoring and alert delivery externally, which keeps alerts working even when WordPress itself is unavailable.
Can I use this for client sites?
Yes. It is a simple way to start monitoring client WordPress sites and later centralize them in PingView.
Make downtime visible before it spreads
Install the plugin, connect your site, and let PingView handle external checks and alert delivery.
