If you\u2019re a developer, an agency owner, or anyone else who\u2019s responsible for building and maintaining websites, one of the worst calls you can get is from your boss or from a client, informing you that a site is down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be the first to find out about website errors with WP Engine’s Site Monitoring tool<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a website goes down, it’s hardly a relaxing form of \u201cdowntime.” Instead, it can lead to a frenzied, all-hands-on-deck scenario that doesn\u2019t subside until the underlying issue(s) have been addressed and the site in question is back online.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While that\u2019s bad enough, being alerted to downtime by your own customers compounds the urgency of the situation and unravels much of the hard work you\u2019ve put into developing your sterling reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if those issues had been identified and addressed before they became significant or critical to a website? What if your downtime actually was relaxing and wasn\u2019t overshadowed by the threat of, well, downtime? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it\u2019s impossible to ensure 100% uptime for every website, the looming uncertainty of downtime is something you can and should live without. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get up to speed before you slow down<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the best ways to prevent downtime is through continuous site monitoring<\/a>, which can be a great way to keep tabs on real-time site performance and set up alerts for potential issues before they become more serious.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While WP Engine has long provided Application Performance Monitoring<\/a> to customers with advanced, high-traffic requirements, we\u2019ve expanded those proactive, always-on monitoring capabilities through WP Engine Site Monitoring, which provides site status and the alerts you need to keep the sites you manage up and performing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Site Monitoring users gain critical visibility into outages, uptime, and average response times across their portfolio of websites, as well as the ability to link to site-specific access logs when an outage is detected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WP Engine’s Site Monitoring<\/a> provides an easy view of website status and the alerts you need to stay on top of site management <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, users are alerted via email within seconds when issues inevitably arise, providing you with the ability to take action right away\u2014long before site issues become more serious or your clients have to alert you to the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
