IPv6-Only Users: The Hidden Downtime You Might Miss

Many websites monitor only IPv4, ignoring IPv6 traffic. As a result, IPv6-only users may face downtime while you believe your site is fully operational.

1. How Hidden Downtime Happens

• DNS misconfiguration for AAAA records
• Firewalls blocking IPv6 traffic
• Hosting providers with partial IPv6 support

2. Detecting the Issue

• Multi-location IPv6 checks
• Compare IPv4 vs IPv6 response metrics
• Alerts for protocol-specific failures

3. Business Impact

• Loss of traffic from IPv6-only networks
• Potential revenue impact
• Undetected SEO or user experience issues

UptyBots ensures you monitor both protocols and avoid surprises for IPv6-only users.
