Free Website Monitoring for Shopify and WooCommerce

Shopify and WooCommerce are great until your checkout dies on a Saturday night. The usual “free” monitoring tiers only watch your homepage and nag you to upgrade. exit1.dev actually keeps your store honest without charging you for oxygen.

Why ecommerce uptime needs more than a ping

Your catalog, cart, and payment gateway live on different URLs. If all you monitor is /, you deserve the lost revenue. Real ecommerce monitoring means:

• Watching every high-intent page: collection, product, cart, checkout, order status.
• Validating copy and prices so the CDN doesn’t serve stale promotions.
• Checking SSL certificates and domains before they expire.
• Alerting the right people instantly—marketing, ops, whoever gets paged.

exit1.dev covers the entire surface out of the box. Unlimited URLs, 1-minute checks, and webhook + email alerts that don’t hide behind a paywall.

How to monitor Shopify with exit1.dev

1. Map the routes that make money

List the URLs that fail most often: /cart, /checkout, /account/login, your best sellers, promo landers. Add them all. We don’t cap monitors, so stop rationing.

2. Add monitors with keyword checks

For product pages, assert the product name, price snippet, or “Add to cart” button text. That catches liquid template issues before your customers do.

3. Watch the checkout APIs

Shopify exposes endpoints for cart updates and payment steps. Point exit1.dev at those JSON responses, set expectations using JSONPath, and we’ll yell when Shopify’s API sneezes.

4. Lock down SSL and domains

Enable SSL and domain monitoring so you never wake up to browser warnings. We’ll ping you weeks before expiry, not after the fires start.

5. Route alerts like a pro

Create webhooks for PagerDuty or Opsgenie, keep email for marketing, and push context into Slack. exit1.dev signs payloads, so your automations stay safe.

WooCommerce loves boring infrastructure

WooCommerce lives on your hosting. Downtime comes from plugins, PHP errors, and caching gone wrong. exit1.dev doesn’t care. We hit the pages like a user would and confirm the HTML is what you expect.

Don’t forget the cron jobs

WooCommerce relies on WP-Cron for subscriptions and fulfillment. Monitor the cron endpoint with exit1.dev so you know when tasks back up.

Track response times

Our analytics show response-time trends for every monitor. Spot plugin regressions before they trash conversion rates.

Bundle stores, headless front-ends, and multiple markets

Running Hydrogen, custom Next.js front-ends, or multiple Shopify markets? Add every domain and subdomain. Use tags in exit1.dev to separate locales and campaigns. Unlimited monitors means unlimited segmentation.

Free beats “free trial”

You don’t need to upgrade to get SSL alerts, JSON checks, or 1-minute probes. exit1.dev’s free website monitor covers it. Spend your budget on ads, not uptime basics.
