Is your website down? Know and Recover – Why and How???

What if a well designed and developed website does not load fast. I am sure your visitors will be taken to your competitor’s website and may be those visitors do not visit your website again as time is money and to view a website nobody would like to wait and gaze. So why not check for few factors which will speed up your website load time. Few points are: number of objects your web page has as objects overhead dominates web pages latency. CSS techniques are recommended for any website rather than using graphic techniques. Every net surfer hates website which doesn’t load. What if this is our own website? Before coming to reasons for website going down let me discuss few important things which I think needs to be considered at the initial stage. Do not use multi-threaded html; images could be in more compressed form; HTTP compression is recommended for java script.

Very common problems seen for websites down time:
• May be server problem; DNN error or network issues;
• Error in your website’s application
• Web space limitation.

Outcome of server downtime: Decrease in traffic; Less Visitors; Downtime in your ROI.

There are many companies providing website monitoring services, we have been using InternetSeer that sends error alert showing at what point of time your website goes down and type of error, reason behind website downtime, also sends error alert when website is up. It is all upto you to select website monitoring service provider.
Website Monitoring is integral part for website maintenance and website owner must have strong foot hold on monitoring important ports.

Before hiring a web monitoring service provider check list of services they provide like whether they provide multi protocol support (FTP, DNS, HTTPS, Ping, etc.) ; downtime notification (SMS or Email); global monitoring, uptime and performance report, multi-lingual support, maintenance.
