Proxies for website uptime monitoring

Recommended proxy: Datacenter proxies Check owned services for HTTP status and response timing from a fixed external exit.

What this workflow needs

  • Separate DNS, connection, authentication and app errors rather than reading status alone.
  • Confirm from another location before alerting to avoid single-exit false positives.

Recommended setup and alternatives
