Monitor From a Global Perspective
Your website might work perfectly from your office but be completely down for users in other regions. CDN failures, DNS propagation issues, and network routing problems affect specific geographic areas. Multi-location monitoring tests your site from multiple continents simultaneously.
Key Features
Global Coverage
Monitor from 10+ locations across North America, Europe, Asia, and other regions.
Regional Detection
Identify which geographic regions experience issues while others work fine.
CDN Verification
Ensure your CDN serves content correctly from all edge locations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Regional outages affect only specific areas. Your site might work perfectly in the US but be completely down in Europe due to CDN issues, DNS propagation delays, or regional network failures. Without multi-location monitoring, you won't know 30% of your users can't access your site.
Minimum 3 locations covering your primary user regions. Global businesses should monitor from 5-7 locations: North America (East + West), Europe, Asia-Pacific, and South America. Check your analytics to see where users are located and prioritize those regions.
Yes. CDN edge servers fail independently. Your US CDN node might be healthy while European nodes are down, serving errors to EU users only. Multi-location monitoring detects these partial CDN failures that single-location monitoring completely misses.
Common causes: CDN edge node failures, DNS propagation issues in specific regions, peering/routing problems between ISPs, regional data center outages, geo-blocking misconfigurations, or network congestion in specific areas. These affect only users in those regions.
It reveals which regions experience slow response times. If Asian users see 3-second load times while US users see 500ms, you need CDN coverage or servers in Asia. Location-based performance data guides infrastructure decisions and CDN configuration.
Both if possible. Data center monitoring checks core availability. Mobile network monitoring (4G/5G) reflects real user experience, catching issues with mobile carrier routing, latency, and connectivity that data center checks miss. Prioritize based on your user demographics.
