From a technical standpoint, single-page applications and multi-page apps (or “traditional webpages”) are very different. This distinction is critical for judging performance and, as a result, user experience. Therefore, we’ve established a distinction between page views, page loads, and page transitions. We can clearly express how a website is used with the help of these phrases.

Loading of Page: The retrieval of the first HTML document, as well as all subsequent activities until the browser’s next journey. Consider navigation that necessitates the loading of a new HTML document. The content of a website is typically rendered as HTML on the server before being provided to the user. A multi-page application (sometimes known as a “traditional website”) will nearly entirely rely on page loading. Wikipedia is an example of a website that uses this architecture.

Transitions between Pages: By using JavaScript, websites can alter the content that viewers see. Unlike page loading, this does not rely on traditional browser navigation. New website content is often loaded using JavaScript and then converted to HTML. This HTML is then inserted into the document to supplement or replace the current content. This approach is widely used in single-page applications. There are typically considerably more page transitions than page loads in single-page applications. Monsterhost’s offering is an example of a website that uses this architecture.

When the page name is modified via the API, a page transition is triggered.

View of Page: To judge general activity on a website no matter what architecture is implemented, the term page view is introduced. The sum of page loads and page transitions is the number of page views.

The MonsterHost monitoring tool does not include data that can be used to uniquely identify users by default. Furthermore, the MonsterHost monitoring tool does not use techniques like device/browser fingerprinting.

When a website is fully unreachable or unable to perform its principal function for its visitors, it is said to be down. The outage’s duration is referred to as the website downtime.

 

Today’s businesses face a major danger from website outages. Customer unhappiness, a tarnished brand image, a decline in search engine ranking, and the loss of potential business and clients are all consequences of downtime. Because your website is the face of your company and, in most circumstances, the first and most crucial touchpoint in your customer’s relationship with you. As a result, ensuring that your website is constantly accessible to customers should be your top priority.

Everyone on the internet experiences website outages at some point. To avoid the harmful impact of downtime, you must constantly have a monitoring service. The following are the top four reasons why your website is unavailable:

Causes	How to prevent it?
Overloading of server	Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN)
Cyber attacks	Select a dependable web host
Software & Hardware issues	Use a website monitoring service
Unspecified causes	Frequent data backup

 

1. Overloaded Server

If your website is hosted on a shared server by your host, your host may suspend or remove your site to protect other sites if there is a large surge in traffic. Similarly, if other sites on the server have high traffic as a result of a bad neighbor effect, your site’s availability may suffer. If your host is unable to handle the unexpected surge in web traffic, your site may crash or lose much of its functionality. Another cause could be that your server host is updating their system and has to take your site down for a while. Our Website traffic monitoring tool can help.

2. Cyber-attack with malicious intent (DDoS)

Always be on the lookout for any unusual traffic patterns. This unusually high volume of visits to your website could be a hacker or virus effort to trigger a massive outage. Attempt a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack against your site, in which a network of systems transmits a large amount of fictitious traffic with the sole purpose of bringing the site down. As a result, if the site’s security standards aren’t up to date, the site is extremely vulnerable to attacks. Using a reliable Website traffic monitoring tool can also help you eliminate possible threats.

3. Issues with hardware and software

Surprisingly, power disruptions continue to be the leading cause of catastrophic outages around the world. Amazon blamed a hardware breakdown for a severe outage in 2010. In the absence of a regular hardware maintenance and service schedule, an unexpected breakdown could occur, resulting in downtime. On the software front, having older and incompatible WordPress plugins and themes installed could make it difficult for users to access your site.

4. Unspecified causes

According to a study, human errors account for more than 40% of outages, including:

⦁ Unplugging a cord by accident when working with a server
⦁ Servers are handled incorrectly and in a rough manner.
⦁ Improper code review or carelessness

In 2017, Amazon had several hours of outage after an employee performed code that included a tiny error, causing a large number of servers to go offline, rendering AWS services unreachable for three hours. Aside from all of this, unpredictable variables such as natural disasters might have a significant impact on your services.
