Is Incident Agent free?

Yes! We offer a free plan that includes 1 site with 7 days of event history. Pro plans start at just $3/month.

How often are sites monitored?

Sites are checked every minute for uptime and availability. Events are tracked in real-time as they happen.

What happens if my site goes down?

You’ll receive an instant email alert. The alert includes the error details and timestamp so you can respond quickly.

Does this slow down my site?

No. The agent is extremely lightweight and only logs events to a local database. Data transmission happens asynchronously in the background.

Can I monitor multiple sites?

Yes! Each site needs the agent plugin installed. You can manage all your sites from one dashboard at app.incidentwp.com.

Is my data secure?

Absolutely. All data is transmitted over HTTPS, and we never store sensitive information like passwords or payment details.

Can I export my data?

Yes, you can export event logs and reports from your dashboard at any time.
