PRTG URL monitoring software: What you’ll find on this page
PRTG makes URL monitoring as easy as it gets
Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent website availability, URL redirection, IP address resolution, and permissions management issues.
How our URL monitoring tool keeps an eye on your website
24/7 monitoring of all your URLs
With PRTG URL monitoring, you can check the reachability of your websites at any time 24/7. It lets you immediately see if a page is up and its processes running.
You can even add and monitor several different pages – or an entire list of URLs – with a few quick clicks.
Availability & response time checks
PRTG automatically verifies the availability of entire pages or individual elements (such as text or images). At the same time, PRTG measures response times and displays this information in long-term graphs. If your website goes offline or a response time exceeds its limit, you’ll immediately be alerted via SMS, email, push notification, or other methods.

Discover URL monitoring sensors included with PRTG
PRTG comes with various preconfigured HTTP sensors for URL monitoring out of the box. Here are some examples:
HTTP v2
The HTTP v2 sensor monitors a web server via HTTP, which is the easiest way to check whether a website (or a certain website element) is reachable. The sensor can show the number of bytes received, the web page or element loading time, and the response code of the target server.
HTTP Transaction
The HTTP Transaction sensor performs a series of HTTP requests which are sent to the web server when a user visits a certain web page. It simulates the various actions carried out by a user upon visiting a website, for example, during an online purchase or newsletter subscription.
HTTP Full Web Page
The HTTP Full Web Page sensor monitors the full download time of a web page including assets such as images. In the background, it opens the web page in a browser instance to perform the measurement. It does not follow links.
3 reasons to choose PRTG as your URL monitoring service
Faster troubleshooting
Determining why your URLs are unreachable can be tricky, but PRTG makes it easy. It not only lets you keep an eye on the uptime and performance of your pages, but also the web and network components that ensure your site stays functional: databases, servers, CDNs, and applications. With PRTG, you'll spend a lot less time troubleshooting.
Prompt, customizable alerts
PRTG’s customizable notification system is simple: you set a custom warning or error threshold value for every parameter you wish to monitor. If this value is exceeded, PRTG will immediately send you an alert however you want, such as by email, SMS, or in-app push notification – our free mobile apps for iOS and Android grant you worldwide access to your network monitoring environment.
Automated reports
PRTG automatically logs the reachability of your URLs and the performance of your website. For example, you can have monthly PDF monitoring summaries automatically sent to your manager. These summaries come in handy when you’re asked to justify a request to update the IT infrastructure.
