Response Time Check

In addition to pure availability, speed is crucial for user experience. The Response Time Check measures how long your server takes to respond to a request.

What is measured?

We typically measure the Time to First Byte (TTFB) as well as the time for the complete transfer of the HTML document.

Configuration

You can set thresholds for warnings:

• Threshold (ms): If the response time exceeds this value (e.g., 2000ms), an alarm is triggered or the status is marked as "Degraded", depending on configuration.

Analysis

In the monitor details, you will find charts showing the development of response time over time. This helps you to:

• Identify performance bottlenecks at specific times (e.g., during backups).
• See the impact of code deployments on speed.
