Response Time Check
In addition to pure availability, speed is crucial for user experience. The Response Time Check measures how long your server takes to respond to a request.
What is measured?
We typically measure the Time to First Byte (TTFB) as well as the time for the complete transfer of the HTML document.
Configuration
You can set thresholds for warnings:
- Threshold (ms): If the response time exceeds this value (e.g., 2000ms), an alarm is triggered or the status is marked as "Degraded", depending on configuration.
Analysis
In the monitor details, you will find charts showing the development of response time over time. This helps you to:
- Identify performance bottlenecks at specific times (e.g., during backups).
- See the impact of code deployments on speed.
Keyword Monitor
Sometimes a page is technically \"online\" (Status Code 200) but doesn't show the desired content – for example, a white page, a database error message, or \"Out of Stock\". The Keyword Monitor (also called \"Content Monitor\") solves this problem.
Playwright Monitor
For critical processes like Login, Checkout, or Registration, a simple HTTP check is often insufficient. The Playwright Monitor loads your website in a real browser (Headless Chromium) and executes a script defined by you.
