❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Is this service really free?
Yes! Our badge service is completely free with no hidden costs or signup requirements.
How often is the status updated?
Badges are cached for 60 seconds. Each time someone loads your badge, we check if the cache has expired and update the status if needed.
Does it slow down my website?
No. The badge is a lightweight SVG (less than 1KB) and loads asynchronously. It won't affect your page load speed.
Can I use this on GitHub README files?
Absolutely! The badge works perfectly in Markdown files. Just use the Markdown syntax provided in the generator above.
What if my site shows as "down" but it's actually up?
Our system checks from multiple locations. If you believe there's an error, visit the full status page for your domain to see detailed information and report any issues.
Can I monitor multiple domains?
Yes! Simply create a badge for each domain you want to monitor. There's no limit.
