Uptime and performance auditing, monitoring and alerting for WordPress.

== Description ==
Watchtower is a plugin that monitors your WordPress website and alerts you of any issues that show up unexpectedly. Think of it as your WordPress guardian angel.

While we're still quite fresh, we're constantly growing and expanding the features of the plugin. We currently support uptime monitoring and notifications, but we've got plans to add auditing and monitoring of website performance shortly.

Watchtower is free but there is a [Pro plan](https://usewatchtower.com) which allows you to upgrade the features of the plugin to include things such as SMS sending and faster alert times.

= Uptime Monitoring =
Watchtower notifies you when your WordPress website is down. Once connected, we'll constantly ping your WordPress website and notify when it is unavailable or returning an error.

= Notifications =
Configuring notifications is easy in Watchtower. Add as many email, SMS or Whatsapp contacts as you'd like and they'll all receive alerts when activated.

= Reporting =
Watchtower reports on uptime issues directly from your WordPress dashboard. You'll be able to check your stats over a given time period and see a list of alerts that have been sent.

= Pro Plan =

As mentioned, Watchtower is free. If you'd like faster alerting, SMS alerts and other more advanced features you can upgrade your account. Check out the [Watchtower](https://usewatchtower.com) website to see the Pro features that are available and the pricing.

== Installation ==
Installation is simple! Download and add the plugin to WordPress (or use the WordPress plugin installer). Once the plugin is installed, activate it.

Upon activation, you'll see the Watchtower menu item added to the WordPress admin menu. Click Watchtower and you'll be asked to connect to the Watchtower service. This will take less than 2 minutes and your website will be connected. You can now start using the plugin.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Is Watchtower free? =

Yes! However there is a [Pro plan](https://usewatchtower.com) for more advanced features.

= I'm unable to add contacts or see the settings interface =
Please make sure you're using WordPress 5.0 or above. Unfortunately at the moment we are unable to support WordPress 4.x.
