PathThe alert, before opening
Alert screenshot: failed step, time, store. You get it before the site opens.
Ping
Ping. Is it still up?
Pathly watches the path. Ping if it’s up. One HTTP request from Europe: status, time, text, headers, JSON. No Chrome. /scan is a one-off. Ping is the watch that stays on.
What Ping sees
One URL, one cadence, one latency cap. Pathly sends the request and checks the reply: status, time, body, headers. If it breaks, the alert goes out. No agent, no browser.
Ping is not the audit
Pasting a URL in /scan is a one-minute diagnosis. Creating a Ping is that same URL checked every few minutes, with history and alerts. One opens the door. The other stays.
When to add Flow or Chain
Ping says whether the server answers. Flow says whether a visitor can still click. Chain says whether the calls behind (login, then API) hold. All three live in the same list.
Audit, Ping, Flow
| Question | Audit /scan | Ping | Flow |
|---|---|---|---|
| Does the server answer? | once | continuously | plus the click |
| Alert if it breaks tomorrow? | no | yes | yes, with screenshot |
| Credit card? | no | not on Solo | not on Solo |
FAQ
- Is Ping the free audit?
- No. The /scan audit reads a URL once and stops. Ping is the instrument: the same URL, checked again, with an alert. You can start from the audit, then create the Ping in one click.
- Do I need a browser?
- No. Ping is an HTTP request. Flow opens Chrome. Chain sequences API calls. Almost everyone starts with a Ping.
