What is okok.now?

okok.now is a comprehensive website monitoring service that goes beyond basic uptime checks. It catches SEO-critical problems, performance regressions, broken links, security issues, and configuration mistakes that can silently damage your website before clients or users notice.

Why another monitoring service?

I lead web development at a renown Swiss web agency for 11 years. We hired great developers and marketers, and our reputation was built on sweating the details. But humans aren't built to follow checklists. A few horror stories happened, all of which could have been avoided with better monitoring.

I tried every monitoring tool out there. They all did a few things well but none caught the hidden bugs that made us look bad when clients called. So I built the monitor I always wanted: one tool that catches everything that can go wrong, before anyone notices.

okok.now is a indie SaaS product, bootstrapped and built by me, Hugo Messer. No investors and no vibe-coded slop.

Technical details

Our monitoring requests come from a set of dedicated IP addresses. You can find the up-to-date list at /ips.txt.

Note: IPs may change over time. If possible, we recommend allowlisting by User-Agent instead.
