Real-time website monitoring for optimal performance and security
In the digital age, a company’s online presence is a key factor in its success. Websites are the primary channel of interaction with customers, partners, and users. Any downtime or technical malfunction can cost a business clients, sales, and reputation. Therefore, websites need constant monitoring for performance and availability to minimize the risks of loss. In this case study, we will explore how the MySiteBoost solution helps businesses ensure the smooth operation of their websites and improve their overall efficiency.
MySiteBoost is a comprehensive real-time website monitoring solution that automates the process of tracking performance, security, and availability. The product is aimed at business owners, web platforms, and online stores who want to provide their customers with the best user experience by avoiding potential website malfunctions. The primary goal of MySiteBoost is continuous monitoring and quick alerts in case of issues, allowing website owners to respond and resolve problems quickly.
Key features of MySiteBoost:
- Monitoring website loading times.
- Verifying data encryption through SSL certificates.
- Ensuring compliance with modern web standards.
- Notifications about expiring SSL certificates.
- Regular uptime monitoring.
With these capabilities, MySiteBoost ensures businesses can be confident in the stability of their website’s operation 24/7, allowing for rapid response to any technical problems.
Challenges
From a business perspective, the main challenges MySiteBoost addresses are:
- Technical issues and website downtime. It is critical for any business to ensure that their website is always available to users. Even a short downtime can lead to significant financial losses and reduced customer trust.
- Page loading speed issues. Studies show that users leave a site if it takes more than a few seconds to load. Performance problems negatively impact user experience and SEO rankings.
- Security risks due to expired SSL certificates. The loss of encryption on a website can lead to data compromise and loss of user trust, which is crucial for e-commerce and other sites handling sensitive information.
- The need for rapid issue response. Business owners cannot always monitor the site’s operation continuously. The lack of automated monitoring systems means they may be notified about a problem too late.
Goals and objectives
1
Ensure continuous website monitoring in real-time to detect issues quickly and provide corresponding alerts.
2
Create an intuitive interface that allows businesses to easily access and analyze information about their website's performance.
3
Implement automated analysis of loading times and availability so site owners can consistently monitor site speed and provide the best user experience.
4
Provide detailed reports that help identify problem areas and optimize website performance.
5
Ensure data security through SSL certificate monitoring and develop a mobile app for convenient access to the monitoring system from anywhere.
Solution
- Microservices architecture. To ensure scalability, we chose a microservices approach based on Node.js, Express, and MikroORM. This allows for flexible workload management, feature expansion, and handling large volumes of data.
- Fast and user-friendly frontend. For the interface, we used Next.js, HTML, and Chakra UI, which ensured fast page loading and adaptability across devices, from mobile phones to desktop computers.
- Real-time monitoring and notifications. To provide instant alerts, we integrated services like SendPulse and Telegraf, which allow users to be quickly informed of any issues via email or push notifications.
- Performance and data monitoring. To track website health and store historical data, we used Firebase Firestore. This technology allowed us to store performance data, which became the basis for uptime analysis and load speed optimization.
- Mobile app. We developed a mobile application that provides easy access to the monitoring system, allowing business owners to check their websites’ status anytime.
