Why is a Fast Response Time Important?

The HTTP Response Time measures how long it takes for your server to respond after it has received a request for a particular page. Slow loading pages are often frustrating to site visitors, causing them to leave your site, which can translate into a possible loss of sales. A fast Response Time is important because it gives your users the best experience possible by providing quick transitions between different pages on your website.

AlertBot tests the Response Time of your server to check how long it takes for the monitored page to receive the first byte of information back from your server. This allows you to be aware of if your server is slow to respond to the HTTP request, and thus slowing down your users’ interaction with your site.
