Oh Dear
All-in-one site health by Spatie team — uptime + SSL + broken links + sitemap monitor.
What it does well
- Combines uptime, SSL, broken links, and cron monitoring in one package.
- Clean, developer-friendly interface and well-documented API for integrations.
- Built and maintained by Spatie, a trusted name in the Laravel/PHP community.
Where it falls short
- No free tier is available; the entry price may be high for single-site owners.
- Uptime check frequency is fixed at 1 minute, with no faster options.
- Lacks advanced application performance monitoring (APM) features found in larger platforms.
