Main Program
Up to 10 sites / pages can be polled sequentially at a
specified time period. Monitoring is performed using
ping (smtp) and (echo) as well as browser load (cached
or uncached). Sitemonitor creates performance graphs
using a benchmark site for comparison. Sites that are
down or unreachable are logged and can be emailed to a
specified address at a regular time interval.

Site status can be flagged using either a pop up alert
window or voice. The voice alert makes use of TTS
(text to speech) - Windows built in speech API (SAPI).
You will obviously need a sound card and speaker for
voice notification to work. The quality of speech in
Windows Vista is very good. With a bit of tweaking in
XP you will be able to achieve acceptable speech
quality. Sitemonitor can also be set to run in silent
mode with simple pop up notification if preferred.

The last 10 ping times for each monitored site are
shown graphically with colour coded speed bands. The
