October 2019: New and updated website monitoring checkpoints

For the month of October, we’ve added three new checkpoint locations for a total of 212, and we’ve updated the IP addresses of three more checkpoints. We keep adding new checkpoints because you need to monitor your websites and web services from as close to your users’ locations as you can get. A few randomly placed monitoring locations or just monitoring from the cloud (who’s users are in the cloud anyway?) doesn’t cut it.

Uptrends - Introducing Self-Service Transactions

We’ve had Web Application Monitoring for years. After recording, our Support team tweaks and tests transaction scripts for you (this is still an option). With Self-Service Transactions (SST), you can now write and manage your own scripts. If you have a Business or Enterprise account, you can start using Self-Service Transactions during the final stages of our beta testing.

Set up a web performance budget

Establishing a performance budget early in the development cycle for websites and APIs is the optimum choice for keeping your websites and web services fast for all users. However, it is never too late to set a web performance budget to improve your user experience. Keeping your users in mind, a web performance budget allows you to make decisions based on your preferred page speed.
