activa

Keep your website alive by sending periodic HTTP requests.
Ideal for preventing sleeping or idling on free hosting platforms.

Installation

npm install activa

Usage

Import and start pinging

import { websiteActiva } from "activa";

// Start pinging every 15 minutes (default)
const intervalId = websiteActiva("https://example.com");

// Custom interval (in minutes)
const customIntervalId = websiteActiva("https://example.com", 10);

Stop the ping

// Stop after 1 hour
setTimeout(() => {
  clearInterval(customIntervalId);
  console.log("Stopped keep-alive.");
}, 60 * 60 * 1000);

Features

• Zero dependencies
• Supports both http and https URLs
• Immediate first ping on start
• Returns interval ID so you can stop pings anytime

Notes

• The interval parameter is in minutes.
• If your hosting platform expects frequent pings, adjust the interval accordingly.
• Always use clearInterval(intervalId) to stop pinging when no longer needed.
