Keep your booking pages online when demand peaks
Travel bookings are won in the moment someone is comparing options. If your booking page is down while a competitor's is up, that's the booking.
Why this matters for hotels, b&bs & travel businesses
Peak seasons and promotions bring traffic spikes, which is when under-resourced sites tend to fail. Many properties also depend on a booking engine hosted elsewhere: your own homepage can be perfectly healthy while the page guests actually book on is not.
What to monitor
- The homepage and, separately, the booking engine page.
- Your rooms or tours pages that Google and travel sites link to.
- SSL certificate — guests are rightly wary of entering details on a page with a browser warning.
- Competitor rate pages, where a rate or availability is shown on a public page.

- A weekly report with uptime, outages and response times, and optional Slack or Discord alerts.
A note on rate tracking
Price monitoring reads what's published on a public page. Many hotel and travel sites load rates dynamically for chosen dates, which an automatic page check may not see. It works well for fixed-price offers, packages and tours with a published price; for date-specific nightly rates, test with a few pages first.
Frequently asked questions
Can you check my booking engine?
We can check that its public page loads and responds. We don't make test bookings.
Can I track competitors' room rates?
Where a price is shown on a public page, yes. Rates that only appear after choosing dates often can't be read by an automatic check.
Can I pause alerts during planned downtime?
Yes. Maintenance windows pause alerts for a site and keep that time out of your uptime figure.
