Building an app that polls a website

Im looking to build a web app using Node.js that is going to be used to poll a website continuously to see if the website is still up, and to determine how long it takes for the website to respond to a given request. Is it a good idea to simply use Express for this purpose? What are some mechanisms within Node.js that enable me to set an interval for polling, lets say I want to hit this specific site every 5 seconds.
