Don't wait for users to report that your website is down. Continuously check the uptime of your IPv4/IPv6-enabled websites from relevant customer locations every one minute to ensure availability for your globally distributed users. Uptime or Website availability monitoring ensures that the webpage is accessible by all users from all the major locations. Configure intelligent thresholds and get alerted via multiple notification channels in the event of an outage. We also verify downtime from alternative locations to prevent false positives.

Overview of website performance monitoring
1. What is website monitoring?
Website monitoring helps to ensure the availability, performance, and security of a website or web application. Website monitoring measures the end-user experience that a webpage provides and offers visibility into various metrics that can affect performance and availability.
2. Is website monitoring important for customer retention?
Yes, a glitch-free and trusted online experience is what every customer is looking forward to. It is said that the performance of a website is directly proportional to the rate of customer conversion, revenue, and end-user satisfaction. A slow loading page can lead to creating a bunch of dissatisfied customers who might leave your page in search of a fast loading, better performing web page. With web performance monitoring, fine-tune the performance of your page elements, ensure a better load time, and retain your customer base.
3. What are the types of website monitoring?
Website or URL monitoring is essential to ensure the smooth functioning of a website. Different web monitoring techniques are available to help identify and rectify issues that may impact website performance, , as well as practices like website content monitoring or checks that help in ensuring the integrity of the webpage content.
Improved security
Adhering to compliance standards ensures that your networks stay secure from emerging threats.
Web Availability monitoring
Website availability or uptime monitoring ensures that the webpage is accessible by all users from all the major locations.
Website Performance monitoring
Website performance monitoring mainly considers the webpage speed and tracks the page elements that might slow down the page.
Web Functionality monitoring
Functionality monitoring includes transaction monitors that interact with a webpage like a real user and ensures that each step in the transaction is working correctly.
4. How does a website monitoring tool work?
A website monitoring tool consistently monitors and ensures a website's performance, availability, and functionality. Once configured, a website monitoring tool checks the website regularly at a frequency ranging from a few minutes to hours. The monitoring tool tries to access the website from various locations worldwide. After connecting to the website, the tool collects data on availability, performance, and functionality, including load time, response time, and uptime. If the website fails to meet any predetermined performance criteria, the tool alerts the website administrator, thus enabling them to take appropriate actions. The website administrator can then analyze the data and determine the root cause of the issue, implement corrective measures to improve website performance, and thereby minimize interruptions to the end-user experience.
5. How to monitor website performance?
Website performance monitoring tracks key metrics such as uptime, time to first byte, page load time, links on the page, user actions, database performance, server status, traffic, third-party service performance, page relevance, and usability. A website monitoring tool constantly checks these factors from multiple locations to detect any issues or loopholes affecting the end-user experience. Once issues are identified, the tool will trigger alerts to let the domain owner fix them before they impact the website's efficiency.
6. What are the challenges in website performance monitoring?
Website performance monitoring, while crucial for maintaining the health and performance of a website, comes with its own set of challenges. Some of the key challenges in website monitoring include:
Complexity of website architecture
Today's websites comprise numerous interconnected components. Monitoring each component's performance and availability individually poses complexity.

Third-party dependencies
Websites often rely on third-party services like payment gateways and social media platforms. Monitoring these services' performance and identifying issues affecting website performance can be challenging.
Scalability and performance
Websites experience growth in traffic and complexity over time. Monitoring solutions must be scalable to handle large volumes of data and traffic effectively.
7. What are the advantages of website monitoring tools?
