Render.com free web services spin down after 15 minutes of inactivity. PingPulse prevents this by pinging your URL every 14 minutes.
Works with your favorite platforms
Render saves resources by putting inactive free services to sleep.
If your Render service receives no traffic for 15 minutes, it goes to sleep. The next request can take 30+ seconds to load.
PingPulse sends a request every 14 minutes (or 5, 10 minutes) to reset the inactivity timer, keeping your service hot and ready.
Your users get sub-second response times because the server never has to wake up from a cold sleep.
Developers using PingPulse to eliminate cold starts.
"The cold starts on Render were killing my portfolio site demo. I set up PingPulse to hit it every 10 minutes and now it's instant."
"I use this for my Node.js backend on Render's free tier. 100% uptime and no 50-second wake-up delays anymore."
"Does exactly what it says. Simple interface, reliable pings. Must-have for free tier hosting."
