About Scott's Pinger: Uptime Monitor
From the developer of Unit Converter: Mila's Tools (Apple Staff Pick, 4.8★ from 1,300+ reviews), Scott's Pinger is an uptime monitor for iPhone that checks your websites, APIs, and HTTP endpoints on a schedule you control. See status, response time, and HTTP codes at a glance — and get push alerts the moment something fails or recovers.
Monitor from your phone
Add any HTTP or HTTPS URL — production site, API endpoint, staging server, or personal blog. Scott's Pinger measures time to first byte on each check without downloading full page content. A performance gauge rates speed and breaks down DNS lookup, TCP connection, TLS handshake, and server processing. Built-in tips suggest concrete fixes when results look off.
