Websites are the economic engine for modern businesses and service providers. A user-friendly, always-on, secure site reassures visitors and shows customers, business partners and others you are serious about your business. As CTO, DevOps manager, or IT lead, you need a digital experience monitoring (DEM) strategy to prevent or minimize website or API downtime.
Many errors can prompt a page in any search engine. The most common ones are the 404 Not Found Error and the 404 Not Supported Error. Yeah, once in a while, you might encounter this notification; the request method' post' is not supported. This prompt gives no one an option but to leave the page. Take it this way; the error message prompts in your website, yet you depend on these search engines to generate more traffic into your website.
A 503 status code reveals an issue that typically appears when the site’s server is not reachable. The 2 main reasons are that the server is down for maintenance or that is overloaded.
The 404 error is one of the most common web errors experienced by users. There are a number of different reasons that the server might not be able to find the resources requested by the user. For example, if a link on your site points to a non-existent page, a 404 error will be generated by the server. Here is a collection of 24 great 404 pages for your inspiration.
Your website is the lifeblood of your business. It’s how you connect with your customers and market your product or service. You want to know that it’s running smoothly at all times, but that may not always be the case. Sites go down due to many different events such as DDoS attacks, hardware failures, and human error. Luckily, there are ways to monitor your site for downtime and take precautions before it reaches critical status.
As your customer base grows, your responsability to provide a functionning service at all time grows too. Let's see how you can a add a few lines of code and earn peace of mind!
Customers can generate hosted status pages that display the status such as availability, response time and incidents of their services (websites, API, infrastructure) to their own clients or for internal use. All status pages are hosted and maintained by our care. Users point a custom domain to our DNS, and after seconds their page is ready. Hassle free.
Embed your status page status anywhere using our API endpoint. Get the list of components and their statuses, uptime and average response time with human descriptions and indicators, and includes a top-level status to programmatically embed it anywhere. Data shows metrics for the past 24 hours. Use the status page URL to retrieve its data.
Before, to know detect a website changed its content or not, you had to manually visit the website and check by yourself. This is a thing from the past! Tools such as Hyperping can send instant alerts in case of changes. One way is making sure your API or marketing site returns the expected content. Some servers return an expected status code (200, OK) but can often return the wrong content in the response body, whether it is HTML content or JSON.
In this post, I would like to expose the mindset that helped me have my very first business profitable since day one. This is not a proven methodology, but I intend to replicate the way I started this business to maybe validate it. Before getting started, here are some metrics to put yourself in the context.
