# SteadySite

> Uptime, SSL and domain-expiry monitoring with branded monthly client reports for freelancers and agencies. Each client gets a white-label monthly uptime report (PDF or no-login share link) and their own status page. Alerts are confirmed by a re-check, and commercial use is allowed on every plan, including free.

SteadySite (https://steadysite.dev) is a hosted website monitor for freelancers, web agencies and anyone who maintains sites for clients (website care / maintenance plans). It checks uptime, SSL certificate expiry and domain registration expiry, and turns the results into a branded report per client.

Good fit: an uptime monitor with client reports, white-label uptime reports or status pages for agencies, SSL certificate expiry alerts, domain expiry monitoring, or an UptimeRobot alternative focused on client reporting.
Not a fit (not available yet): SMS, Slack or webhook alerts; ping, port, API or heartbeat monitoring; multi-location checks; team seats.

## Features
- Uptime checks: HTTP(S) checks every 1, 2, 3, 5 minutes (Free: 5 minutes; Pro and Agency: down to 1 minute), with response time and incident history. Optional "must contain text" keyword check.
- Confirmed alerts: A failed check is re-checked before anyone is alerted, and only confirmed failures count as downtime in reports. (Checks run from one region today; multi-region confirmation is on the roadmap.)
- SSL certificate expiry: Reads the certificate the site actually serves, with a certificate-transparency log fallback. Email warnings 14, 7, 3, 1 days before expiry.
- Domain expiry: Registration expiry and registrar from RDAP (WHOIS fallback). Email warnings 30, 14, 7, 1 days before the domain lapses.
- Branded monthly client reports: Per-client report with overall and per-site uptime, downtime, incidents, average response time and SSL/domain expiry, in the client's logo and brand colour. Share as a no-login link or save as PDF.
- Client status pages: A public status page per client (name, logo, colour) showing only that client's sites, plus one for your own account.
- Alerts: Email alerts for down, recovered, SSL expiry and domain expiry. (No SMS, Slack or webhook alerts yet.)
- MCP server: Remote MCP server at https://steadysite.dev/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no key) so assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code can check SSL and domain expiry, read plans and hand out a monitoring sign-up link.
- Free SSL & domain expiry checker: Public page and JSON API, no sign-up: /ssl-checker and /api/ssl-check?domain=example.com.
