Performance issues can sneak up before they turn into full-blown outages. Get notified when your website or service takes longer than usual to respond.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re excited to announce that you can now set up response time thresholds and receive alerts when performance dips below your expected level. This means you can take action early, improve user experience, and prevent minor slowdowns from becoming major problems.<\/span><\/p>\n

Get slow response time alerts<\/span><\/h2>\n

You don\u2019t have to wait for an outage to know something\u2019s wrong. With this feature, you\u2019ll get alerts when response times exceed your set threshold:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2705 Choose a custom threshold between <\/span>50ms and 5000ms<\/b>
\n<\/b>\u2705 Get notified when response times go back to normal<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u2705 Avoid unnecessary downtime alerts while keeping an eye on performance<\/span><\/p>\n

This feature is available on <\/span>all commercial plans (Solo, Team, and Enterprise)<\/b> and is <\/span>enabled by default for new monitors<\/b>. For existing monitors, you can activate response time alerts manually from the settings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gain more control over your uptime data<\/span><\/h2>\n

Along with response time alerts, we\u2019re introducing a new \u201cdegraded\u201d status for monitors.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

This lets you:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2705 Identify performance issues separately from full outages<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u2705 Exclude connection timeouts from uptime stats on Public Status Pages<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u2705 View slow response incidents in your dashboard for better insights<\/span><\/p>\n

Smarter monitoring, better reliability<\/span><\/h2>\n

We built this feature based on our users\u2019 feedback to give you more visibility into your website\u2019s performance. Thank you for playing such an important role in shaping UptimeRobot\u2019s product development.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We truly value your feedback. Let us know your thoughts on <\/span>Discord<\/span><\/a> and feel free to submit new feature ideas through our <\/span>Nolt board<\/span><\/a>. You can also check out our <\/span>product roadmap<\/span><\/a> and see what we\u2019re working on.<\/span><\/p>\n
