GoHighLevel WordPress Uptime Monitor Guide

Use ClickUp for project planning, but rely on GoHighLevel to monitor your hosted WordPress sites in real time. This guide walks you step by step through enabling, configuring, and using the WordPress Uptime Monitor inside your GoHighLevel account so you can quickly detect downtime and protect your clients’ online presence.

The WordPress Uptime Monitor is built into the same hosting area you already use, giving you instant visibility into whether each site is online and how often it goes down. Follow the instructions below to turn it on, understand the metrics, and set expectations with your team and clients.

What Is the GoHighLevel WordPress Uptime Monitor?

The WordPress Uptime Monitor in GoHighLevel continuously checks whether your hosted WordPress sites are reachable over the internet. It sends a simple request to your site at regular intervals and records whether the site is up or down.

All of this information appears directly on the Sites page, where you can see a quick status indicator for each WordPress installation. This makes it easier to diagnose issues with hosting, DNS, or plugins that may cause interruptions.

You can also review a log of historical checks, including the exact time of any outage, how long it lasted, and whether the site came back online without intervention.

Accessing WordPress Uptime Monitoring in GoHighLevel

The uptime feature is available in the WordPress hosting section of your GoHighLevel account. To get started, make sure you are logged in as an admin or as a user with permission to manage websites.

1. Sign in to your GoHighLevel account.

2. Navigate to the Sites or Websites area, depending on your interface layout.

3. Locate the WordPress site you want to monitor from your list of hosted domains.

4. Open the site’s settings panel to view hosting and monitoring options.

Inside this section, you will find the uptime status and, when enabled, a historical chart or table of recent checks. The information updates automatically and does not require manual refresh.

How to Enable GoHighLevel WordPress Uptime Monitor

If the WordPress Uptime Monitor is not already active on your site, you can usually enable it directly in the site’s configuration page.

1. Open the specific WordPress site within GoHighLevel that you wish to track.

2. Look for a tab or section labeled Uptime, Monitoring, or similar.

3. Toggle the monitoring switch or click the button to enable uptime checks.

4. Confirm your changes so that GoHighLevel begins tracking the site’s availability.

Once enabled, GoHighLevel will start sending requests to your site on a set schedule. You may need to wait a short period before initial uptime data appears in the dashboard, especially for hourly or multi-minute intervals.

Understanding GoHighLevel Uptime Status Indicators

The WordPress Uptime Monitor uses simple visual indicators to show whether a site is currently reachable. While the exact styling can vary, the most common statuses include:

• Up – The site responded successfully within the expected time frame.

• Down – The site did not respond, returned an error, or timed out during the check.

• Unknown or Initializing – Monitoring has just been enabled and there is not enough data yet.

In addition to these labels, the WordPress Uptime Monitor in GoHighLevel often displays a percentage of uptime over a selected period, such as the last 24 hours or last 7 days. Higher percentages indicate better reliability for that specific site.

Viewing Historical Uptime Logs in GoHighLevel

The real power of the WordPress Uptime Monitor comes from the historical log. This area helps you diagnose patterns and pinpoint when issues first started.

To access logs for a specific site:

1. Go to the WordPress site’s monitoring panel inside GoHighLevel.

2. Scroll to the uptime history or logs section.

3. Select the date range you want to review, if applicable.

4. Review each entry, which usually includes:

   • The exact time of the check.

   • The status at that time (up or down).

   • The duration of the outage, if the site was down.

Use this data to correlate downtime with recent changes, plugin updates, server migrations, or DNS edits. If you see repeated outages at similar times, you may need to investigate scheduled tasks or external integrations that overload the site.

Best Practices for Using GoHighLevel Uptime Monitoring

To get the most value from the WordPress Uptime Monitor, keep these best practices in mind:

• Enable monitoring on every hosted site. Even small internal projects benefit from having uptime data logged inside GoHighLevel.

• Check uptime after major updates. Whenever you update plugins, themes, or the core WordPress installation, watch the uptime chart for at least 24 hours.

• Document chronic issues. Repeated downtime can point to deeper hosting or configuration problems. Use the historical log as documentation when speaking with your hosting provider or technical team.

• Communicate transparently with clients. When managing client sites, export or screenshot the uptime metrics to explain incidents and show the overall reliability of their website.

Limitations of the GoHighLevel WordPress Uptime Monitor

The uptime system provides a practical overview but is not a full performance testing tool. It focuses on whether the site is reachable, not on deep diagnostics.

Keep in mind:

• Monitoring intervals may not capture very brief outages that happen between checks.

• Response time details can be limited, so you might need separate tools for in-depth performance profiling.

• If the monitoring server itself is impacted, results may temporarily lag or show gaps until the service stabilizes again.

Use the data from GoHighLevel as a reliable high-level indicator, then layer on additional tools if you require advanced performance analysis or synthetic testing from multiple geographic locations.

Troubleshooting Downtime Detected by GoHighLevel

When the WordPress Uptime Monitor shows that a site is down, follow a structured process to identify the root cause quickly.

1. Verify the site manually. Open the site in your browser using an incognito or private window to confirm the issue.

2. Check DNS and SSL. Make sure the domain records are pointing correctly and that the SSL certificate is valid and not expired.

3. Review recent changes. Disable any plugins or themes you recently installed or updated to see if the site comes back online.

4. Check server status. Review your hosting provider’s status page or console for any ongoing incidents that may affect your WordPress instance.

5. Use the uptime logs. Return to the GoHighLevel logs to see when the downtime started and whether it appears at regular intervals.

If downtime persists after these steps, you may need to escalate internally to a developer or externally to your hosting support team. The timestamps generated by the WordPress Uptime Monitor provide essential context for that conversation.
