PageLantern

What PageLantern is

PageLantern is a hosted service for monitoring websites, APIs, DNS records, certificates, domains, ports, and scheduled jobs. It checks uptime, SSL certificates, DNS and domains, pages and flows, and heartbeats. Setup uses a URL, domain, API endpoint, DNS record, certificate, or heartbeat URL, so no monitoring agent is installed on the site. The Free plan includes 15 monitors, five-minute checks, one user, 30 days of history, one status page, and one alert channel. The plan has no time limit, but monitoring pauses after 45 days without signing in; signing in resumes it. They include hosted Playwright checks with screenshot, trace, snapshot, and console artifacts. Starter and Team also support OpenAPI and Postman imports. Alerts can go to email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, webhooks, PagerDuty, and SMS. PageLantern says credential-bearing fields are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM; heartbeat tokens and status-page subscriber emails are stored in clear text. It has not obtained listed security certifications, and its security statements have not been independently audited or certified.
