What is Pingdom?

Pingdom is a website monitoring and performance platform originally founded in Stockholm, Sweden in 2007 and owned by SolarWinds since 2014. It runs synthetic uptime checks from more than 100 global locations and provides page speed analysis with a waterfall breakdown so teams can see exactly which elements slow a page down.

Beyond basic uptime checks, Pingdom offers synthetic transaction monitoring for scripted multi step flows such as login or checkout, plus a separate Real User Monitoring (RUM) product that reports on how actual visitors experience a site. Alerts go out by SMS, email, or in app notification, and native iOS and Android apps let teams check status on the go. It suits businesses and agencies that want managed monitoring without running their own infrastructure.
