Make sure your portfolio is online when a client looks
Prospective clients judge you on your portfolio in seconds. A broken gallery, a security warning or a missing site costs you a booking you'll never know you lost.
Why this matters for photographers & creatives
Creatives often build their own site once, then move on to client work. Image-heavy pages are the first to struggle on cheap hosting, and a lapsed domain or an expired certificate can sit unseen for weeks. You find out when an enquiry doesn't arrive — or, worse, when a client says they couldn't open your site.
What to monitor
- Your homepage and your portfolio or gallery page.
- Your contact or booking page.
- Client gallery login pages — we check they load, never what's behind them.
- Your domain registration and SSL certificate.
How OwlHound helps
- 5-minute checks, confirmed before alerts — failures are retried and confirmed, so every email is real. How uptime monitoring works.
- SSL and domain expiry warnings well before anything lapses. Learn more.
- A weekly report with uptime, outages and response times, and optional Slack or Discord alerts.
Watch the slow pages
Large image galleries get slow before they fail. The response-time figure in your dashboard and weekly report shows you when a page is getting heavy, so you can compress images before a client notices.
Frequently asked questions
My site is on Squarespace, Format or Pixieset — does that matter?
No. We check any public website regardless of the platform.
Can you check password-protected client galleries?
We can check that the gallery's public login page loads. We don't log in.
Will I be spammed with alerts?
No. Failures are retried and confirmed before any email, and you get one message per outage plus one when it recovers.
