@UptimeRobot User,

Great that you like it.

Although I haven’t used, I’m sure aremysitesup.com is a great service too.

The features you mentioned are on our roadmap and will be implemented very soon.

Great tool, currently using it alongside aremysitesup.com for comparison. I like that you are generous with your free features. Keyword monitoring would be great when it is done. Graphs and stats of the uptime would be great as well, i’m sure there are some freely available libraries you can use for that.

Thanks.

@David,

The requests are not recorded by Google Analytics as it only gets the HTTP status codes and doesn’t load the Analytics JS files.

However, they will appear in the logs of your server/hosting account.

Hi again,

I would like to know if these kind of requests interfere in Google Analytics metrics.

Thanks

@Manuel,

You’re right with that. And we realized that some providers require extra digits to the beginning of a number.

The SMS feature is currently experimental but the problem you mentioned in some operators will be fixed in a few days (one or two).
