Site24×7 Blogs

We came across a couple of articles on the internet which feature Site24×7. The first one is by Prem Godara in his Techno Mirror blog.  He has an article about finding out what increases the loading time of a website. The article is titled “Does your website load slowly! Here’s a solution” Prem mentions two tools - Site24×7 and Octagate Site Timer.

Here are a few excerpts from the post:

Are you one of those users whose website takes lot of time to load but don’t know what is the problem and which component of the website is taking too much time to load.

Generally, several components of a web page (like Iframes, Flash, Javascript, Images, CSS,) can increase the page loading time but it is very hard to pinpoint the exact culprit that decreases the speed of the site. A normal HTML web page may have advertising scripts, YouTube videos, images and so on.

I came across two online services which can help you by pinpointing as which component of your website is taking too much of time to load.

One such service is Site24×7. Site24×7 is a hosted website monitoring service that helps webmasters ensure their websites are up and running at peak performance. The Site24×7 servers sends out HTTP or HTTPS request to your website at regular intervals of time and alerts you if it is down.

This service is available both as free and premium version. In premium version, you get some advanced features such as monitoring DNS/email servers, online web applications and so on.

Thanks for writing about Site24×7, Prem!

As Prem mentioned in his blog, there are 2 ways through which a user can find which component is increasing the site loading time. One is the Analyze Web page tool and the second is the Web Page Analyzer monitor.

The second article which we want to bring to your attention today is one in the Free Pedia website titled ‘Monitor your Site Up and Down Status‘. This article provides brief information about Site24×7’s website monitoring service.

Few excerpts:

Site24×7 is a simple hosted web site monitoring service that works around the clock making sure that websites are performing flawlessly.

You can set a threshold for a web page such that - if the page load time of that page is more than 3 seconds, you should be notified through EMail, SMS and RSS.

Thanks for writing about us, guys!

In an earlier post, we’d discussed the importance of website content monitoring and how Site24×7 can help with monitoring web page defacement. Continuing on the theme of website content, today we will take a look at some online tools that might be useful for website content writers/developers. These free tools might be useful when you are working on the content of a new website or if you want to improve the readability of your existing website content.

First up, there is the readability index calculator tool. This tools calculates the readability index score for a passage in your website. Based on this score, you can get an idea of how visitors to your site might perceive the content on your site. Enter a passage of text in the field and select the language for which the readability is to be calculated. The tool will give you a reading ease score and a grade level. If you select English language, the score is calculated using the Flesch-Kincaid method.

Mystery Matador is a similar tool, but it provides suggestions to improve your content along with the readability score which makes it slightly better than Readability index calculator.

Writing quality content on your web pages is a sure way of attracting good traffic to your web site and these tools might be of help. Once you’ve finalized the content and posted them online, there is always Site24×7 for website content monitoring!

If you are one among those who go to these search engines one by one and search, you must have really found it a tiresome and repetitive process.

They also support a large number of search engines such as Google, Yahoo, MSN, Hotbot, etc. We searched for website monitoring service keyword and found out that Site24×7 ranks #4 in Altavista and #7 in Netscape search.
