If you are performing website monitoring or if you own a 
website, you should be familiar with some terms that are 
used often when it comes to website monitoring. Listed here 
are terms that you need to know.
1. Uptime
This is very important term and this plays a major role in 
overall website performance. Uptime of a site describes the 
number which shows the duration of a website that is 
available to view. Uptime of a website is important because it 
helps you get a good number of visitors. So, it is essential for 
the owner of the website to take care of the uptime every 
time. 
2. Page speed
Page speed is nothing but page load time. It refers to loading time of a site 
or page on a site. It is stated as lapsed time between user’s request and the 
page that is fully given by the browser. This should be less than three 
seconds. If it is more, visitors get frustrated and can’t wait for the 
response to get for a long time. Research shows that any website that is 
loading below three seconds is good and this will help grow traffic to the 
site. Many sites that have more loading time i.e., more than 3 seconds will 
have problems with their site. So, check this factor and if it is more 
correct it. Page speed matters because it will affect or effect the 
conversion rate. 
3. Functionality
Check whether the functions of your website are working properly. 
Website functionality includes having features such as contact forms, 
registration forms, sign-up forms etc. This is a must-have feature, if you 
are providing user with sign-ups and others as stated. If they are not 
working properly, check the problem yourself and rectify or else handle it 
to technical team of your website. 
4. Performance:
The aforesaid factors affect the performance of a website. The overall 
performance depends on the uptime, page speed of a site. Therefore, 
understand the problems and try to improve the performance through a 
proper maintenance of a website.
These are the major terms or factors that a website owner or a hosting 
company must consider while monitoring a website.
