Website downtime costs more than you think:

• Revenue losses of $5,600 per minute for the average business
• Damaged credibility and customer trust
• Wasted advertising spend driving traffic to inaccessible sites
• SEO penalties for persistent availability issues

Manual monitoring is inadequate because:

• Human checks are inconsistent and error-prone
• Staff can't monitor 24/7
• Problems are often discovered after customers report them
• No historical data is captured for pattern analysis

While commercial solutions exist, they become expensive when scaled across multiple websites and often include features you'll never use.
