If you care about your website, show it some love this Valentine’s Day. RapidSpike is there, like Fred from First Dates, to keep the spark alive. We will be your relationship counsellor through the tough times with your website, from downtime to Magecart style attacks, and even the occasional website launch! They say healthy relationships are built around the pillars of trust, communication and passion.
A few lines of code in your website’s header can make or break your security and your customer’s trust. We know how important that is to you, so at RapidSpike we’re here to empower you with data, protecting your website from the top down, and today we’re talking about the very top — your homepage header and its precious metadata.
Not a great statistic, but are bad digital experiences really that costly? A bad digital experience is when a website is slow, unreliable, and/or insecure. Is it slow to load, are there errors affecting our SEO, is a third party broken, or is payment data being stolen right from their device? These issues are all reputation damaging, more so than ever in an increasingly socially connected world.
At RapidSpike everyone gets involved with product and feature ideation, including our customers! We pride ourselves on being responsive to your needs, taking your feedback, and turning it into our next great feature — after all, you know what you need. We’re here to listen and our developers love tackling a new challenge and solving a tricky problem. This has trickled down into one of our latest features — Configurable Assurance Alerts.
We have released a new upgrade to our script editor which is part of our ongoing commitment to build the best Synthetic User Journey monitoring tool on the market – Journey Pre-Actions. This upgrade is simple but will be useful for those websites that require certain prerequisites in order to allow tests such as these to be run. As with many of our features here at RapidSpike, this was born from a real-world requirement from a number of our customers.
In this blog, we break down the timeline of the number one hacker threat to ecommerce sites today – Magecart. The 2020 Magecart timeline includes all the significant Magecart attacks in 2020. With 4,800 formjacking attacks each month alone, this timeline only represents a small proportion of attacks reported in the public domain in 2020.
Opsgenie is a powerful alert management service that allows you to flexibly set up teams for different alerting groups. Our development team have been working hard to deliver new features and integrations, and now you are able to integrate Opsgenie with RapidSpike to help with your website monitoring.
Each year ecommerce sites are named and shamed for failing to prepare their website for Black Friday, sacrificing sales revenue and reputation. We explain changes companies can make in advance to mitigate outages, reduce shopping cart abandonment and improve digital experience in preparation for Black Friday 2020.
Our sources state that there has been a 20% increase in web-skimming attacks since the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus. Recently, we have witnessed some high-profile Magecart attacks including Boom! Mobile, Wisepay, PlayBack Now, and the most recent JM Bullion data breach.
Exciting news! We have recently updated our Webhooks integration to allow custom headers in order to integrate with third party alarming tools. This update makes our webhooks integration more powerful and adaptable. The Webhook integration allows you to get RapidSpike notifications in your applications, and custom headers lets us send extra data along with the Webhook, which some third parties may require.
