Website Status Checker – Real-Time Information

Check Website Status Automatically

SolarWinds^® Pingdom^® monitors website performance in real time, proactively making sure your business is online and giving you an advantage over competitors who may rely on simple manual tests and log file analysis. With Pingdom, you can quickly identify problems and begin work to restore regular service immediately. Pingdom checks website status once every 60 seconds and alerts you the moment an issue’s detected.

Control what visitors see as they interact with your website with real user monitoring. You can verify whether page elements are loading correctly and check if your visitors are receiving the high-quality browsing experience they demand.

Instant Notification and Universal Access

Using a network of more than 100 probe servers located in data centers around the world, Pingdom can confirm your website is available to all users independent of their location. The use of global checking tools highlights local issues (like CDN outages) needing to be addressed.

Pingdom allows you to configure automated notifications based on website status or website transactions. Whenever something fails, you can help ensure the correct person is alerted through their preferred channel, such as SMS, push notification, email, Slack message, and more. You can choose how quickly alerts are sent and get them resent up to four times after the initial message.

Long-Term Website Status Analysis

Website monitoring helps you troubleshoot emergencies faster and assess the outcomes of website updates. Pingdom lets you analyze the results of historical tests, providing a way to identify long-term, low-level intermittent issues affecting website stability and page load times.

A record of web performance insights—Pingdom stores the history of test results for your tracking and analysis. Visitor insights reports provide visibility into the history of page load times as seen by your actual visitors. The data retention period for real user monitoring is 400 days. Page speed reports also give you an overview of each test made during a two-week period.

Load Times and Loading States

The process of loading webpages consists of separate steps called loading states. SolarWinds Pingdom monitors each loading state to see how site performance is affected and marks the exact point at which errors occur. Each time you run a page speed check, you can see at what point each element was loaded in the waterfall graph. In addition, you have a filmstrip view including screenshots captured every 500ms, showing the site elements present. You’ll discover how long it takes for critical elements to display on the page and optimize the order in which they load.
