Here's the URL: https://heartbeats.io
It's a free tool.
Here are the features in development:
- API
- Adding 25 more regions
- Fixing the ugly map.
- Adding pointers on the map
- Provide actual browser load time.
- Making it faster.
- Adding ReCaptcha before tests
- Ability to provide report in all timezones
Here are the features currently in the pipeline:
- Downtime notifier

I would appreciate your feedback, comments, suggestions and feature requests.
Cheers!

http://heartbeats.io is down in certain parts of the world!

Other than that, looks promising. Why are the report times in IST?
Sorry, was uploading a change.
Here's the latest result: https://heartbeats.io/results/5Bb60s
Editing main post to add this on priority, giving users option to choose timezone on report page.
Don't use per country map, there are so many ISP with different network, use your DC location instead.
Nice
Thank you for the feedback. Planning to use pointer/marker for DC location.
Yes, improving speed is on the priority list. Pushing out the MVP to get feedback
@leapswitch down! Checking with their team, they assured me we'll be back in 10. Adding to feature >> HA implementation.
Its just down
Yes
Entire network of @leapswitch is down. I am constantly in touch with Ishan and his team. They're expected to be up soon. Hence added the feature to the bucket >> HA.
We're now up!
I shall be implementing the HA setup at the earliest.
Hmm Wholesaleinternet servers down on some parts of the world?
How many hits do you get?
Awesome, it's like geopeeker.com
Here's something it needs tweaking (ui-wise):
table { width: 100%;} maybe
thead { font-weight: bold;} maybe?
remove this jumbotron bottomCurve from homepage. It doesn't look good.

Seems to be globally up, now.
Thank you for the amazing feedback. I'm confused whether I should add screenshot from every continent or every PoP. What are your thoughts?
Looks like an extremely promising website. I really love how it checks from 20 different locations and offers a screenshot. You should add some small services, like SMS reports for uptime.
Thank You. I am planning to add apps instead of SMS - both web based(thinking of chrome) and mobile based.
Nice website, I like it! Keep up the good work!
Thank You
Looks good, but is there an issue with IPv6? One of my sites is IPv6 only and I've tried it several times on this tool and it always shows down for North America, yet to me (via NA VPN) remains accessible from there regardless.
thats great. but the information provide are too little.
I just checked again. Once from Western US and once from Western Canada. Both locations work just fine for my test site, but heatbeats.io shows all North America as down. I have no option but to give this a bad review because it shows incorrect information.
tl:dr doesn't work
PS: Heartbeats got back about this and plan to fix that problem.
Hey, let me look into this on priority. Could you please share your domain name?
Please do let us know what features/information would you like added on HeartBeats Report.
Oh good, you got back here. Thanks. I'm thinking it's an IPv6 thing. For your reference, I've tested from home (200 miles from Vancouver Canada) and through my regular personal VPN on a server in Seattle USA. The web site in question is http://redruler.ru which is hosted in Varna Bulgaria.
I think you're right. Thank you for sharing the domain. I am looking into this and hope to get it resolved at the earliest. Would ping you here, once this has been resolved.
Hi Again,
While checking at the logs, it came to my notice that this is not an IPv6 issue but a load time issue. Here's the latest report:
https://heartbeats.io/results/khZQfJ
HeartBeat tried to load the requested URI using curl(enabled for both IPv4 and IPv6). The default load time is 30s, if the transfer does not begin in 30 seconds, it is considered down. Please note that this is not the complete site load time, but the request for first few bytes.
I am not sure if I should increase 30s to 60 or higher as it would impact the result load time, perhaps for sites loading slower, I can put a secondary scan in place instead of calling them down.
Hmm, that sounds like a problem. Not sure why that site loads so slowly. That's for me to figure out. In any case, I won't fault you for leaving it at 30s since that's probably the best choice overall in this case.
Thanks for checking it out.
