# Hack-Render (Keep-Alive Service)
This project provides a simple solution to prevent free-tier services like Render from putting your website into sleep mode due to inactivity. It periodically sends HTTP GET requests to your website, ensuring it stays active.
## Features
- Periodically sends requests to multiple URLs.
- Keeps your web applications active and prevents them from going idle.
- Simple and lightweight solution using Node.js, Express, and Axios.
## Requirements
- Node.js (v14+ recommended)
- Express
- Axios
## Setup
1. Clone this repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/your-username/website-keep-alive.git
cd website-keep-alive
```
2. Install dependencies:
```bash
npm install
```
3. Update the `urls` array with the URLs you want to keep alive in the `index.js` file:
```javascript
const urls = [
"https://your-website-url.com",
"https://another-url.com"
];
```
4. Run the server:
```bash
npm start
```
The server will start on port `4000` and will keep sending requests to the provided URLs every 30 seconds.
## How It Works
This project uses `axios` to send HTTP GET requests to a list of URLs. It uses `setInterval` to execute this action every 30 seconds, preventing the server from going idle on free-tier platforms like Render.
