Downtime alerts · 2 min read
Is Your Website Down Right Now? Would You Even Know?
Most business owners find out their site is down from a customer, or never at all.
Websites go down more often than you'd think. Usually it's for a few minutes, sometimes for a whole weekend. And most business owners only find out when a customer mentions it, if they ever find out at all.
Common reasons websites go offline
- A hiccup or outage at your web host.
- Your domain name expired because the renewal email went to an old inbox.
- Your security certificate expired, so visitors see a scary "Not secure" warning.
- A software or plugin update went wrong.
A little downtime adds up
Many hosts promise "99.9% uptime". That sounds perfect, but it still allows about 43 minutes of downtime every month. If those minutes land on a Saturday morning, that's your busiest hour gone.
Every minute your site is down, it's a closed sign on the busiest street in town: Google.
