Why Monitor Website Uptime?
Most site owners learn about downtime from angry customers. That's backwards. Every hour of downtime = lost revenue. You can't fix what you don't know is broken.
What Good Monitoring Looks Like
Check Frequency - Minimum every 5 minutes, best every 30 seconds.
Alert Speed - Under 5 minutes from outage to notification.
Check Locations - Test from multiple geographic regions.
