10
things you should be monitoring on your website
|
 |
 |
Every
business needs to know how it is doing.
That's the idea behind exit surveys, customer
feedback forms, suggestion boxes and other
devices. Without feedback from the customer,
monitoring inventory, expenses, revenue
and other benchmarks, a business can take
a quick slide down a slippery slope, without
the owner ever seeing it coming – or being
able to stop the slide. |

Web
Hosting: To Switch or to Stay? |
 |
 |
Are
you pleased with your web hosting company?
It is hard to know for sure without proper
web site monitoring. You should know how
much up time and down time your web site
has, and you should be monitoring shopping
carts and forms, too. If your web site suffers
too much down time, or it seems to be getting
slower, you might want to switch hosts.
But you have to be monitoring the situation
to know for sure. |

How
To Reduce Web Hosting Bandwidth. |
 |
 |
Are
you monitoring your web site's bandwith?
Most web site hosting programs give you
a limited amount of bandwith, but if your
site processes a lot of transactions or
offers popular downloads, you could be testing
the limits of your allocation. Just as you
want web site performance monitoring to
ensure your shopping carts, forms and page
downloads are functioning, so too should
you monitor bandwith usage so you don't
get caught on the 24th of the month turning
customers away. |

Report:
Slow Sites Cost $25 Billion in Lost Sales.
|
 |
 |
One
more reason why web site monitoring is so
crucial: lost customers. A web site that
does not perform to the customer's desired
speed, is a web site that looses its customers.
Monitoring the site's performance can tell
you if your web site is losing customers
due to performance. Make sure you monitor
your web site from overseas, too, as your
global customers might not be performing
the same downloading as your local customers. |
