Downtime Monitoring
Jetpack keeps tabs on your site and notifies you the moment downtime is detected.
Can visitors access my site?
Making sure your site is open for business is essential. You want to be secure in the knowledge that when someone types your site address into their browser or clicks on a link to your site, they will actually see what you’ve published.
Downtime happens for many reasons:
- A spike in traffic (usually resolved by increasing site bandwidth).
- A problem with your hosting provider (usually resolved by getting in touch with them or migrating your site to another host).
- Unauthorized site access by a hacker (usually resolved by restoring your site from a backup).
In many cases the problem is easily fixed — but before you can do that, you need to know that something’s amiss. Jetpack lets you know about downtime by regularly checking your site so you don’t have to.
