| # Pings veripsa.com so the Render free-tier web service does not sleep — a slept | |
| # service cold-starts in ~10s, which is what makes the site feel slow. This repo | |
| # is public, so Actions minutes are unlimited (free). GitHub's scheduled runs can | |
| # be delayed under load, so we ping every 5 min to stay comfortably under Render's | |
| # ~15 min idle-sleep threshold. Zero secrets; just an outbound GET to a health URL. | |
