If you’re a blogger or website owner based in the UK, or perhaps many of the visitors to your website are from the United Kingdom, then you’ll want to know if your website is up and available to your UK users.
Unscheduled downtime and slow-loading, poor performing websites not only impact on revenue, but can damage your reputation as well as your search engine rankings. Being the first to know about these problems, rather than finding out from your customers is therefore critical.
UK Website Uptime Monitoring
UK website monitoring services, such as StatusCake.com, will alert you to website downtime, as well as performance issues on your site. With servers in locations across the United Kingdom, including London, Manchester and Maidenhead, StatusCake’s uptime monitoring delivers downtime alerts to you by email and SMS as well as push notifications for iOS and Android devices and much more.
StatusCake’s UK downtime monitoring is free to all users, allowing you to monitor an unlimited number of websites or tests with your site being checked for downtime every 5 minutes. And if you want more frequent downtime checks or added features – such as malware checking, real user monitoring or content matching then sign-up for one of our paid accounts.
