Monitor website uptime and page speed
Global monitoring network: 130 locations
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. 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.
Analyze webpage speed using a real browser
Slow loading pages don't just frustrate users—they can also lead to page abandonment. Render your website using a real browser, and record load time for each static resource like documents, images, JavaScript, videos, and other files to identify assets that may be slowing your page down.

Website Defacement
Immediately detect unauthorized changes to the integrity of your website. Enable an automatic baseline to uncover everything from iframe/script injections to content modification.
SSL/TLS Certificate
Easily stay up to date with SSL/TLS certificate expiration. Setting up a check not only notifies you before they expire, but also monitors for certificate revocations, untrusted CAs, and SHA-1 fingerprint tampering.
Real-time blocklist check
Periodically run queries against popular blocklists like Surbl, SORBS, Invaluement, UCEPROTECT, and more to detect domains and IP addresses marked as spam.
Brand Reputation
Keep your business and users safe. Identify infected or malicious URLs and remove them from your site by running checks against Google's list of unsafe web resources.
Domain Expiry
When a domain expires, all the services attached to it will cease to work. Set up a simple check, renew early, retain ownership, and prevent any unintended service disruption.

FAQs for web performance monitoring
What is a website monitor?
A website monitor consistently checks and ensures the performance, availability, and functionality of a website. Monitoring is often done from several locations across the globe to track latency issues and to ensure uninterrupted end-user experience or other errors.
Is web performance crucial in 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.
How to monitor website performance?
Website performance is dependent on a few key metrics. A simple glitch in any one of these can affect the web page load time or website availability. Website performance monitoring tracks each of these elements like uptime, time to first byte (TTFB), page load time, links on the page, user actions on a page, performance of a database, location based variations, servers, traffic to the page, performance of third-party services, usability, and relevance of the page, to find loopholes or issues that may affect the efficiency of page. Once issues are identified in any of these factors, alerts will be sent to fix it before it affects the end users.
What are the advantages of website performance monitoring tools?
With website performance tools, you can:
- Ensure 24x7 online presence by monitoring from various global locations
- Enhance performance by monitoring key metrics
- Avoid downtime
- Ensure customer trust and better end-user experience
- Ensure customer retention
- Get better conversion rates
I was always very happy with the service at Site24x7.com. Notifications were easy to set up, and the reports were delivered quickly after any outages with clear explanations given. I highly recommend this tool for Website availability monitoring.
