Is our web service working well right now? As important as developing new features for your web service, it is just as important to make sure your service is working. However, many organizations do not check to see if their web services are running smoothly.
Creating a service to monitor the health of your website is not difficult, but it is also surprisingly cumbersome. Fortunately, there are free services that can help you check the health of your web services. In this article, I will summarize the types of URL services available for free, along with their pros and cons.

Wrapping Up
In general, free URL services do not offer a choice of URL resolver servers, which is advantageous if you are providing services in North America because most of the resolving URL servers exist in North America. Paid URL monitoring services do offer a choice of URL resolver servers.
Currently, only WhaTap Labs offers free URL monitoring in Korea. The URL check server option supports Seoul and Tokyo. For now, only WhaTap Labs offers free URL monitoring, but we hope to see more services available for free in the future.
