Set Up A Basic Monitor
Pulsetic lets you create a Monitor, which is a tool that regularly checks your websites from different locations around the world. It helps you see if your website is online, if its security certificate is valid, and how often it's available. This way, you can find and fix problems quickly. You can use it for both standard (http://) and secure (https:// ) websites.
Understanding the Key Information
Status: This shows the real-time availability of your website. It tells you if your website is reachable from at least one of the monitoring locations.
Certificate: If your website uses https:// , Pulsetic checks the SSL/TLS certificate to see if it's valid and not expired. This ensures secure connections for visitors.
Uptime: This calculates the average percentage of time your website is online across all the locations being monitored. It gives you an overall measure of your website's reliability."
