  11. questionCan you monitor slow load times?
    The way our monitoring works is not exactly like an actual web browser. We don't load all the images and/or dynamic elements (flash movies, etc...) We just send a Head request and/or a Get request that returns text content only. So it can be difficult to replicate slow loading in a browser which ...

  12. questionDo you offer a way to display my uptime on my web site?

  15. questionDo you send alerts for each check period?
    No, sorry for any confusion. We do not send an alert each time we check your website if the website is up. We only send an alert if we receive a failed check. This alerts you to the start of an outage. Then we send another alert (up alert) at the end of the outage.
