WordPress monitoring questions

Do I need a PingView account?
Yes. Create an account to add a monitor, receive alerts, and see availability history. You do not need wp-admin access.
How often is my site checked?
The check frequency and locations depend on the PingView plan connected to the plugin. You can adjust the setup from your PingView dashboard.
Does this affect my site's performance?
No. All monitoring checks come from external servers and require no site code or plugin. The optional plugin only displays information in your WordPress admin.
What happens when my site goes down?
You'll receive an email alert according to your PingView notification settings. See current status and history in PingView; the plugin can also display them in WordPress.
Is the plugin free?
Yes. The plugin is free and optional, while the monitoring scope depends on your PingView plan. Paid plans add more frequent checks, and SMS alerts are available from the Professional plan.
