Paste up to 10 URLs. Get HTTP status, response time, redirects and SSL certificate expiry for each — instantly, free, no account. Then let DeskUptime keep watching them daily.
Run a check now See DeskUptime →Check up to 10 URLs at once
One URL per line. Everything is checked live — nothing is stored.
Prefer the terminal? The same checks from the open-source CLI:
npx github:mahope/deskuptime check https://example.com https://www.wikipedia.org
A snapshot isn't monitoring
This tells you how your sites look right now. It can't tell you when one goes down next week.
You have to remember to run it
The failure you don't check for is the one that ships. A monitor runs whether or not you think about it.
No alerts between checks
A bulk check is silent. DeskUptime notifies you the moment a status, latency or certificate crosses its threshold.
SaaS charges monthly for this
Monitoring services charge $7–$15/month forever. DeskUptime is $19 once and runs on your machine.

FAQ
How many URLs can I check at once?
Up to 10 per run here — paste them one per line. Need more or want it automated? The CLI (npx github:mahope/deskuptime check url1 url2 …) takes any number, and the desktop app monitors your full list on a schedule.
What exactly gets checked?
For each URL: final HTTP status after following redirects, total response time in ms, whether a redirect happened and where it landed, plus SSL certificate expiry date for HTTPS URLs. Nothing is logged or stored.
Does it work with any website or stack?
Yes. These are plain HTTP requests — no agent, plugin or platform integration. WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, static sites and API endpoints all work identically.
Why does an HTTPS URL sometimes miss its SSL expiry?
Certificate dates are read from public certificate-transparency logs. Brand-new certificates or rate-limited lookups can occasionally return nothing — re-run the check and it will usually appear.
Can I check internal or staging URLs?
The web tool only reaches public URLs. The DeskUptime app and CLI check anything your own machine can reach — localhost, intranet hosts, staging domains behind a VPN.
