Monitor reachability
Start with uptime on your most important pages.
Hyperping is commonly evaluated for straightforward uptime monitoring and status pages. If you are looking for an alternative, the usual question is whether simple uptime is enough or whether you need to catch pages that are online but broken.

| Criteria | NorthDuty | Hyperping |
|---|---|---|
| Core focus | Website health and user journeys | Uptime monitoring, status pages, on-call scheduling, and incident response |
| Checks beyond status | Blank pages, broken resources, JavaScript errors, API calls, SSL, DNS | Website and API endpoint monitoring, SSL and cron monitoring, plus an E2E monitoring product |
| Status pages | Included, with incident and maintenance support | Branded status pages with custom domains, subscribers, incidents, and maintenance communication |
Simple uptime monitoring with a clean status page is a great starting point, and many teams begin there.
The gap appears when a page stays online but the experience fails — a missing button, a blank render, a broken checkout step — none of which a basic ping will catch.
Revenue leaks when important pages are broken, not only when the site is fully down.
NorthDuty checks HTTP, SSL, DNS, rendering, broken resources, JavaScript errors, and API calls in one check every 5 minutes by default, and runs AI-suggested or plain-text user journeys with a screenshot of every step — and still includes a public status page and incident management.
