Step 1: Identify Your Critical Pages

Start by monitoring the pages that matter most to your business:

🔥 CRITICAL

Homepage, checkout, payment processing

⚠️ IMPORTANT

Contact forms, product pages, login

📋 NICE TO HAVE

Blog, about page, secondary features

Pro Tip: Start with just your homepage and checkout page. You can add more monitoring as you see the value.

Step 2: Create Your First Monitor

Copy these settings for basic homepage monitoring:

A descriptive name for your monitoring job
Optional description of what this job monitors
Check every 5 minutes for quick problem detection
Choose the type of job to run
Replace with your actual website URL
GET is perfect for checking if pages load
Get alerted when your site goes down or comes back up

Click "Create Job" to start monitoring your homepage!

Step 3: Add API Endpoint Monitoring

If you have API endpoints, monitor them separately:

Choose the type of job to run
Your API health check or status endpoint
Add API keys or other headers if needed
Less frequent for API endpoints unless critical

Step 4: Monitor Contact Forms

Test that your contact forms are working (use a test endpoint if possible):

Choose the type of job to run
Create a test endpoint that doesn't send emails
Send test data to verify form processing
Less frequent to avoid spam-like behavior

Recommended Monitoring Frequencies

*/5 * * * * Every 5 minutes

Critical pages (homepage, checkout, login)

*/15 * * * * Every 15 minutes

Important pages and API endpoints

*/30 * * * * Every 30 minutes

Secondary pages and form testing

Understanding Monitoring Results

In your CronPop dashboard, you'll see monitoring results:

✅ Success (200-299 status codes)

Your website is responding normally

⚠️ Warning (300-399 status codes)

Redirects - check if these are expected

❌ Error (400-499 status codes)

Client errors - page not found or access denied

❌ Server Error (500+ status codes)

Server problems - your website has technical issues

❌ Timeout

Your website is too slow or unreachable

Setting Up Effective Alerts

Configure notifications to get alerted without being overwhelmed:

  • Enable notifications for all monitoring jobs
  • Use different email addresses for critical vs. non-critical monitoring
  • Set up multiple jobs for the same page with different frequencies for redundancy
  • Monitor from your perspective: If your site loads slowly for you, monitor more frequently

Advanced Monitoring Techniques

Content Verification

While CronPop focuses on HTTP status monitoring, you can check for specific content by monitoring endpoints that return JSON status indicators.

Geographic Monitoring

CronPop monitors from cloud infrastructure. For geographic diversity, consider setting up multiple monitoring jobs with different schedules.

Dependency Monitoring

Monitor third-party services your site depends on by checking their status pages or API endpoints.

Performance Baseline

Track response times over time by reviewing your job execution history to establish performance baselines.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

False Positive Alerts:

  • Reduce frequency: Check every 15 minutes instead of 5 to avoid temporary glitches
  • Check user agent: Some sites block automated requests
  • Verify headers: Your site might require specific headers

Missing Real Problems:

  • Increase frequency: Critical pages should be checked every 5 minutes
  • Monitor multiple endpoints: Don't rely on just the homepage
  • Check different HTTP methods: Test POST endpoints for forms

Slow Response Times:

  • Check different pages: Isolate if it's site-wide or specific pages
  • Monitor at different times: Identify traffic patterns
  • Compare trends: Use job history to see if performance is degrading

Best Practices for Website Monitoring

Start Simple

Begin with basic uptime monitoring of your homepage, then expand to other pages.

Monitor User Journeys

Check the key pages in your customer's typical path through your site.

Test Different Scenarios

Monitor both anonymous access and authenticated user experiences.

Don't Over-Monitor

Too frequent checks can impact your server. Balance thoroughness with resource usage.

Document Your Setup

Keep notes on what each monitoring job checks and why it's important.

Review Regularly

Check your monitoring results weekly to understand your site's patterns.
