Website Downtime Alert

A website downtime alert is a notification that a monitoring service sends when it detects a possible availability problem. A cleaning company might receive an email or text after repeated failed checks, allowing someone to investigate a broken booking site. Alert timing depends on the monitoring interval, locations tested, and configured thresholds. One failed check does not always mean every visitor is affected, and a website can still have broken forms while appearing online. This differs from general website monitoring, which collects ongoing availability and performance data. Alerts should reach someone responsible and connect to an incident response process, not merely fill an unattended inbox.
