## Description

The Ping Chrome extension is a handy tool designed to keep track of your server's availability effortlessly. By sending HTTP pings to a configured server, it instantly informs you of its status via a simple toolbar icon — green when the server is up and red when it's down. This extension provides a quick, visual check without needing to open additional interfaces or dashboards.

Ideal for developers, system admins, or anyone who wants constant awareness of server health, Ping offers a lightweight and intuitive solution to monitor uptime directly from your browser. No complex configurations are necessary; just set your target server and rely on the icon to keep you informed in real-time.
