We're starting this new year strong with an additional new 8 locations to check your websites from! We've just finished adding uptime capacity in the following locations. That's 8 new locations to configure any website monitoring from! In all our previous locations, we've increased our server capacity to support our continued growth.
In 2020 we slowly, but surely, improved our service. The UI has vastly improved and we added two major new features. Time for a recap!
Today we've added favicons to the site list you see when you log in to Oh Dear. Using the favicon, you quickly recognize a particular site. It also just looks nice visually. In this blog post, we'd like to share how we achieved this.
We just launched our brand new monitoring dashboard to all clients, giving a modern new look & feel to Oh Dear! There are plenty of improvements under the hood, so let's dive right in.
After an intense testing period, we're excited to announce our scheduled task monitoring is now available to all our users!
Oh Dear allows you to monitor any kind of website, even those behind HTTP basic authentication. In this guide, we'll cover the steps on how to monitor a website behind an HTTP basic authentication prompt.
Earlier this year, Apple announced that it would limit the lifetime of trusted certificates to 398 days. Shortly after, both Firefox and Chrome followed in their footsteps.
There is now a WordPress plugin that gives you deeper insights into broken links found, the performance of your site and the uptime statistics!
Last week, we improved the email notifications sent by Oh Dear whenever something is down or broken. They now contain links that allow you to snooze further emails, essentially "silencing" the alert for a defined period of time.
As part of our SSL certificate monitoring, we check a lot of things. The usuals, like if it covers the right domain name or if it hasn't expired are, of course, already included. But SSL certificates can get quite complex. Sometimes, SSL certificates get revoked by the issuer. When that happens, browsers worldwide stop trusting them and will throw an invalid certificate warning.
