How Do You Know My Site or Server is Running Properly?
There are many technically advanced testing techniques we use to know that your site is running and to detect the error when it is not. However, simply stated, we try to mimic the way real users would use your site or server and then look for failures in this simulated user experience. If a failure is not detected, then we know your site is up and running properly, at least during the period of time when we were conducting the test.
To be able to know that your site is constantly up and running we need to test your site as frequently as possible. The more frequently we test your site, the more you will be aware that your site has been constantly running for the short amount of time between the tests. You can choose the test frequency at which you feel most comfortable with. Typically this is a trade off between the monitoring cost and your tolerance for web site or server downtime. The most popular test frequency and our recommendation is to test your web site or server at a 5 minute interval.
