February was all about making OnlineOrNot better for dev teams. I shipped audit logs for teams, added support for two-factor authentication and passkeys, unified the webhooks system across uptime checks, heartbeats, and status pages, and made it possible to connect multiple Discord channels.

Hopefully this will be one of the last major "behind-the-scenes" updates for a while, because OnlineOrNot's frontend now runs on a React framework that's easy to deploy across multiple providers, and is fully off GraphQL, being powered by its own REST API.

Continuing on with the tradition I started to wrap up 2024, in this article I'll go over what's new in OnlineOrnot from 2025.

On 2025-11-18 at 11:48 UTC, Cloudflare declared an incident affecting the global network (that also affected OnlineOrNot). OnlineOrNot monitors websites, APIs, web apps, and cron jobs, while providing status pages as well. While we partially mitigated the issue by enabling a fallback to AWS-based monitoring, between 13:00 UTC and 14:33 UTC failing checks went unreported, heartbeat checks over-reported, and status pages were unavailable.

A bit more behind-the-scenes work than usual this month, but I still managed to ship some public-facing features you might be interested in. Logging in, and clicking around the dashboard just got 60% faster, and we're just getting started.

In this latest update, I'll walk you through a few features I added that will make working with uptime checks less noisy, an alerts integration with Teams, and a few behind-the-scenes changes that will finally let me build mobile apps for OnlineOrNot.

As OnlineOrNot has grown, I've been building features quickly to get them into your hands as fast as possible. However, this meant I ended up with multiple versions of similar pages that looked and worked differently from each other. This month, I focused on putting systems in place to create a consistent experience across all parts of the dashboard, making everything look and feel unified.

In April I worked on a behind the scenes refactor, webhooks for status pages, a new endpoint, and more.

Some of your most critical infrastructure runs on AWS EC2, so it's pretty damn important to know when your EC2 instances shut down. Sure, chances are someone in your organisation will start kicking and screaming within 30 minutes of a particularly important instance shutting down, but we can do better than that. When it comes to monitoring and customers (whether inside your org or outside), being proactive wins you a lot of points.

I can't believe it's April already. OnlineOrNot now lets you automatically pause checks on a recurring basis with maintenance windows, there's better support for timezones, loading a lot of data got faster, and more.

OnlineOrNot monitors your website, letting you know instantly if anything goes wrong.
OnlineOrNot is an website monitoring service. In particular, it monitors whether your site is online, or not (hence the name). It allows you to continuously monitor any website or API server. It notifies you instantly in the case of any problems - whether that's a timeout, 4xx error, or 5xx error.
Monitor With Confidence:
- Configurable Alerts: You don't want alerts for sites that aren't really down for everyone. Configure retries, and how many minutes of downtime to wait before sending an alert.
- Fast Alerts: Getting alerts ages after your site goes down isn't great. We use email deliverability best-practices so your alerts get delivered, fast.
- Alerts where you need them: Get notified when your site goes down, and when it comes back via Email and Slack. Alerts via SMS and phone call coming soon!
- Text Search: Want to detect when your page stops showing certain text? OnlineOrNot can search your page for text to catch error pages that don't send error codes.
- Global Monitoring: Monitor from any one of 10 major cities around the world. Check out our supported regions.
- Bring the whole team: Monitoring is your whole team's job, not the responsibility of just one person. Bring your whole team at no extra cost.
Everything you need to be sure that your website is running smoothly.
