Synthetic monitoring, also known as synthetic website monitoring or active monitoring, uses automated scripts to simulate user interactions with your website, app, or API.
Synthetic monitoring runs 24/7 to catch issues before customers notice.
With synthetic monitoring software, you can:
Traditional monitoring reacts after something fails. Synthetic monitoring prevents it.
By continuously simulating user interactions, synthetic website monitoring detects performance issues, broken workflows, and outages before they affect real customers.
