Monitor

Monitor your site's uptime
A page that's down is invisible — to visitors and to the search and AI crawlers that decide whether you get found. Uptime monitoring catches an outage in minutes, not whenever a customer emails you: you protect revenue, and you protect your visibility, because crawlers that keep hitting a dead page can quietly drop it.
Before you start
Uptime monitoring needs your sitemap connected — that is where MetaPilot finds your homepage. Once it is, monitoring is already on.
-
1
There is nothing to flag
Uptime monitoring is your homepage, armed automatically from your sitemap, on every plan including Free. No watchlist, no cap, no switch. -
2
MetaPilot polls it automatically
MetaPilotBot checks it on your plan's cadence — every 30 minutes on Free, every 5 minutes on paid plans — with a cache-busting parameter, so the check reaches your origin instead of being answered by your CDN. -
3
Make sure uptime alerts are on
MetaPilot emails members who've opted into uptime alerts when your homepage goes down — and again when it recovers, so you know it's resolved. -
4
You get one alert per event
Not one per failing check. One when it breaks, one when it recovers — so an outage doesn't bury your inbox. -
5
Every other page is covered by liveness
Turn on autopilot for a page and MetaPilot confirms the schema it maintains is still being served — and flags a page that has started 404ing right on its row. Every page on autopilot, on every plan.
Know the moment your site goes down
Connect your sitemap and monitoring starts itself.
