Pinpoint Performance Bottlenecks with Detailed HTTP Timings
Monitoring uptime isn’t just about knowing if a website is down — it’s also about understanding why. With our new HTTP Timing Breakdown, you can now see exactly where time is being spent during each HTTP or HTTPS check. Each request is broken down into five precise stages:
- DNS Lookup – how long it takes to resolve your domain name.
- TLS Handshake – duration of SSL/TLS negotiation for secure connections.
- Connect – the time needed to establish a TCP connection.
- TTFB (Time to First Byte) – how quickly the server begins responding.
- Download – time taken to download the full response body.
This detailed view helps you pinpoint latency sources — whether it’s a slow DNS provider, an SSL bottleneck, or your server’s response time.
Combined with region-based monitoring, you can now spot performance differences across locations, identify infrastructure issues faster, and optimize your response times with data that goes beyond simple uptime metrics.
You’ll find this new breakdown in the Checks tab of all your HTTP(S) monitors.
