SiteMeer - Web Uptime Check

nerouxneroux Member
edited March 2014 in General

Hi everyone,

some might already know it (it has been online for a while now) but those who don't I'd like to invite to have a look at sitemeer.com.

Sitemeer basically verifies whether a given service is online and reachable. It is similar to the is-it-just-me sites but comes with broader protocol support, full IDN compatibility as well as details about the connection.

The script itself is currently not open-sourced but might be in the future. There are also further additions planned, so feature suggestions are naturally more than welcome :)

    How about adding packet loss information? (Although, that doesn't happen very often)

    Do you mean a separate ICMP/ping check option or along with the current checks (like HTTP)?

    It's really up to you, an option would be preferable for me, as it would be nice to get ICMP information.

    Will add it to the todo list and should be probably in the next round of available protocols.

    ICMP made it into "beta" quicker than anticipated. There is now a first preview at /preview.php. To run a ping test please use the preliminary scheme prefix "xping" (eg: xping://www.lowendtalk.com)

    Feedback, comments and suggestions appreciated.

  • nerouxneroux Member

    The tests for ICMP have looked good so far, so it should go live shortly (currently still at /preview.php).

    Further comments and suggestions are welcome.

  • nerouxneroux Member

    I would like to apologise to everyone who might have attempted to access Sitemeer today, as there was unfortunately a rather lengthy outage due to routing issues in an IXP.

    Now all services are back up and running.

  • sirmbhesirmbhe Member

    just an idea, it will be better if we can sign up and you provide the service to automatically recheck the status at periodic timeline. Maybe somekind like uptimerobot. Not that i want you to be same as uptimerobot, differentiation are good, and that require more innovation from you guys. but i like your site, it is simple :)

    I assume you mean a monitoring service with notifications etc., right?

    but i like your site, it is simple :)

    Thank you :)

    Thanks, further features are definitely planned (amongst them customised checks) but no ETA yet.

    The meerkats just opened on Twitter as well

    A quick feature update which just went live a few minutes ago.

    Sitemeer now also returns country and network related information for each host it checks.

  • nerouxneroux Member

    Yet another info bit added.

    This time for the HTTP(S) check. For each host Sitemeer now mentions the used server software.

    I'd really love to hear some feedback about the last two additions, the country and network info as well as the new server software bit. Useful, not useful, anything else?

    I'd like to stress that bit again as I would like to find out the overall usefulness of such information in this context (to avoid overloading the status report).

    Country and network info are what I would consider to be basic informations, and I'd expect them to be found in any decent lookup script/site (at least in the advanced stats). Those are useful, and you're not overloading the status report at all by adding them.

    What I'd love to see, although it would take some time to write it, is an API. That'd be awesome. If you'd need more servers to spread the load on the API, hit me up.

    Twitter for it is down apparently.

    Contacted you via PM.

    Most of us would use something that's already out there, but your site does look and function nicely.

    Thank you, Sitemeer isn't that new though but has been already around for a while :).

  • nerouxneroux Member

    A very nice recent testimonial, thanks @eddynetweb

    neroux I have been using sitemeer.com out of all the other online-checkers, and here's why.

    1) Simple, clean, no ads.

    2) Gives the sufficient data that I need.

    3) It's extremely easy to remember. In fact, when I want to check if a website is online, the first thing that comes to mind is yours.

    Kudos! Also, can you add something along the lines of checking ports on a remote server to see if they're online?

    There is already inofficial support for it. Depending on the demand it might become official.

    If interested, please PM me for details.

    Just to emphasise it, this is valid for everyone.

    Why was @neroux banned anyway?
