Detecting Intermittent Downtime That Users Notice but Monitoring Misses

Some website or service issues happen sporadically, making them hard to detect with simple monitoring. Users may notice these problems even when uptime checks show everything is fine. UptyBots helps you catch these subtle issues.

1. Understand Intermittent Downtime

Intermittent downtime can result from network congestion, server overload, or brief service crashes. Even short outages can frustrate users and reduce trust.

2. Use Frequent Checks

Increase check frequency for critical endpoints. UptyBots can perform 1-minute checks, ensuring short outages are detected quickly.

3. Employ Synthetic Monitoring

Simulate real user flows across multiple pages and steps. This helps detect errors that simple HTTP checks might miss.

4. Multi-Location Monitoring

Outages can be regional. Checking from multiple locations ensures you detect issues that might only affect certain users.

5. Benefits for Businesses

Detect problems before customers complain
Maintain consistent user experience
Reduce lost revenue and support tickets
