Uptime Robot automatically checks websites every x minutes, that's its job and does it pretty good.
However, there can be times, specially when your monitor is down, you may want to refresh the monitor manually without waiting for the Uptime Robot engine.

There it is, a tiny-but-functional "refresh" feature which enables you to tell the engine to re-check the monitor manually.
Important: After the manual refreshes, if the status of your monitor is changed, no up/down alerts are being sent (as it is for sure that you are aware of the new status).
Hope you like it.


This is an amazing feature! Thank you very mucf for your service, is one of the best in the net!
Thank you very much for this new feature. Very useful when you don’t want to wait.

Great Job!!
After a manual refresh no notifications are sent: When do notifications kick in again? How to I reset it so I get notifications?
Instant refresh ability is great! I love this monitoring service.
Reply to questions above…. after doing a manual refresh you can resume automatic monitoring by clicking on the pause icon and then the start icon.
@Elaine,
Manual refresh doesn’t fire notifications (it also mentions this in the refresh monitor dialog) considering you have already -visually- seen the up/down status.
