FAQ
-
How often does it check my site?
-
Every 5 minutes (300 seconds) via WP-Cron.
-
Will it slow down my site?
-
No. The plugin uses WP-Cron which runs in the background. The check itself is a single HTTP request that takes less than 1 second.
-
Can I change the check interval?
-
The free version checks every 5 minutes. Custom intervals are available in the Pro version.
-
Does it work with caching plugins?
-
Yes. UKH Uptime Monitor makes HTTP requests like a regular visitor, so it works with all caching plugins.
-
What happens if my site is down?
-
You’ll receive an email alert with details about when the outage started and what error was detected. When the site comes back up, you’ll receive a recovery notification.
-
Yes! Use the shortcode
[ukhug_status]on any page to display a public status page. -
Does it store data locally?
-
Yes. All data is stored in your WordPress database. No data is sent to external servers.
