What uptime monitoring tracks

Uptime checks focus on the signals that tell you whether a site is reachable, responding correctly, and starting to slow down before a full outage.

Why it matters

Availability is the first promise customers expect. Fast detection and clear history help teams respond before downtime spreads into support and revenue problems.

Outages affect revenue and trust
