How can a webmaster track website performance? What tools are there and how to choose the best one?

In the modern world, websites are an integral part of any business - from a small online store to a huge corporation. And the main guarantee of a successful site is its stability and loading speed. In order for the website owner or webmaster to provide this, you need to always know the status of the website. That is, they carry out literally round-the-clock monitoring of various indicators. This will help to promptly respond to all emerging problems.

 

Effective automated monitoring tools

Of course, every website owner or webmaster starts with the basics - the Google Search Console. Thanks to the checks available on this service, you can optimize your content and fix potential problems. However, this service has some problems. And the main one is associated with identifying problems on sites that are not directly related to Google services. These issues usually do not directly affect queries and search engine results. In such cases, Google Search Console does not work very well, not responding to emerging issues. And even the most attentive webmaster will not be able to monitor the site around the clock.

 

Therefore, regardless of the level of professionalism and qualifications of the webmaster responsible for monitoring the website, it is better for him to use comprehensive diagnostic tools. An excellent example of such tools is HostTracker, an online platform for 24/7 web resource monitoring. With its help, the webmaster can in all possible ways check the availability of the site and its stability. From diagnostics of the Internet protocol health to monitoring the performance of server equipment. This allows the webmaster to quickly and easily identify global and local problems with a website. In this case, the system operates in a fully automatic mode.

 

Additional monitoring tools and services

As a useful and important add-on, HostTracker provides constant website monitoring via notifications. Automated checks in case of problems conduct extended testing. And if a site malfunction is confirmed after diagnostics from different places, the system notifies the user of what is happening. Thanks to this approach, the webmaster is always up to date and can quickly respond to them.

 

 

To enable instant notifications, you just need to customize your contact list for specific tasks. To do this, the webmaster needs to choose from the list of messengers to which the system will send notifications. This list includes all popular instant messengers such as Telegram, Whatsapp, Viber, Slack, Skype and others. Then add one of your contacts to be used for notification of failed checks and other website issues.

 

At the same time, you can configure notifications about checks and tests at your discretion. For example, you can specify the reasons for notifications, set a delay, or prevent the system from sending them at night. Moreover, detailed statistics reveal subtle problems. In addition, even a beginner can handle setting up all available checks.
