You can now choose the frequency of checks

As part of our big deploy that added ping and TCP monitoring, we’ve also shipped a small, but often requested feature: you can now choose the frequency of the check we run.

By default, we check your website for uptime every minute. The Lighthouse check runs daily. Using our new feature, you can now, for instance, choose that the uptime check should run every 2 minutes, and the Lighthouse check every 5 days.

You can choose the frequency at the settings of the check.

Most people won’t need this option. For people who host multiple sites on one server, all monitored by Oh Dear, you can decrease the check frequency to have less stress on the server.
