Free Uptime Widget for Your Website
The UptimeRadar widget is a powerful tool that offers transparency to your website visitors by displaying the uptime status of your HTTP(S) monitors over the past 30 days as a percentage. This information is valuable for visitors who may have otherwise had to contact support to inquire about uptime.
In order to utilize the benefits of the UptimeRadar widget, it is necessary to have an active account with UptimeRadar and to have at least one active HTTP(S) monitor set up within that account. Ensure that you are logged in to your account before attempting to use/install the widget.
Installing Uptime Widget
- Create an account and log in. Or sign in to your account if you already have one;
- Add a new monitor by clicking "Add New Monitor" button;
- Access the statistics of the newly created monitor via the "Stats" button;
- Click the button "Install Website Widget" in the right sidebar;
- Copy the code that appears and paste it on your website.
Widget Privacy and Security
Unlike most widgets, ours is not JavaScript-based. It is simply an image that is placed on your website. This image changes dynamically with its uptime. This ensures the security of your site because the widget cannot change anything on your pages. Images are cached in a global CDN and loaded as static files. In this way, we cannot collect any information, and we do not set tracking cookies.
Useful Tips and Final Thoughts
The UptimeRadar widget is designed to provide a comprehensive representation of uptime by supporting two decimal places and rounding up the percentage. However, it's important to note that while the widget will display the rounded percentage, the Monitors and Stats page will provide a more precise figure. For instance, the widget may show an uptime of 99.88%, but the Stats page may indicate an uptime of 99.875%. Regardless, the most accurate representation of uptime is always the most precise figure available.
The UptimeRadar widget offers real-time monitoring, which ensures that users and visitors have access to the most current and accurate information about the uptime status of your crucial server infrastructure. It automatically updates in real-time, providing you and your visitors with the most up-to-date statistics. This feature enables you to quickly identify and address any potential downtime, ensuring minimal disruption to your online services.
