Website availability monitoring: FAQ
What is website availability?
Website availability is the amount of time that a website or service can be accessed by users. It is usually calculated as a percentage, and ideally, should be as close to 100% as possible. The “five nines” – or 99.999%, correspond to 5 minutes of downtime per year and is a value worth pursuing.
Why is website availability monitoring important?
Website availability monitoring is crucial because it makes sure your website stays online and accessible to users. PRTG’s comprehensive website monitoring functionalities help you quickly detect and address issues without the hassle of getting false positives, minimizing their business impact.
How does PRTG monitor website availability?
PRTG uses various sensors to monitor website availability. These sensors check the website’s response time, uptime, and performance metrics. Just add a website endpoint to PRTG, specify its IP address and/or DNS name, and add suitable sensors to it, then start monitoring. If any issues are detected, PRTG sends real-time alerts to the relevant stakeholders.
Can PRTG help improve website performance?
Yes, PRTG can help improve website performance by providing insights into response times, load times, and other performance metrics. By analyzing this data, you can identify and address performance bottlenecks, ensuring a faster and more reliable website.

What is a sensor in PRTG?
In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive.
On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.
