Synthetic Monitoring

Synthetic monitoring runs scripted checks against your site and APIs on a schedule from external locations, instead of waiting for real traffic to reveal a problem. It tells you an endpoint or a user journey is broken before a customer finds it.

Synthetic monitoring runs your own scripted checks on a fixed schedule, so you get consistent data even when traffic is low. Real user monitoring reports what actual visitors experienced. Synthetic tells you something is down, real user monitoring tells you how many people it affected.

API checks for single endpoints, multi-step API checks for chained request flows, and browser checks that drive a real browser through a full user journey with Playwright. All three run from the same cloud regions and share the same alert channels.

Browser checks run a Playwright script in headless Chromium from LoadFocus cloud regions, so the flow is exercised the way a visitor would experience it rather than as a plain HTTP request.

Every run captures screenshots of the pages visited, browser console logs, network logs for every request, per-step timings and a Playwright trace you can replay step by step. Video on failure can be enabled as well.

Checks run from 26 cloud regions, so you can see how a journey performs from where your users actually are, not just from one data centre.

Browser checks run on paid plans and have their own monthly browser-run quota, separate from API check runs. API and uptime checks are included on the free plan.

Yes. A browser check can sign in, search, add to basket and walk through checkout in one script, then report which step failed or slowed down. Multi-step API checks do the same for chained request flows such as login, token and call.
