1. Uptime Monitoring
Use a service like UptimeRobot, StatusCake, or Pingdom to monitor your site availability. Set up alerts via email, SMS, or Slack. Monitor multiple regions to detect localized issues. Uptime monitoring helps you identify outages quickly.
2. Regular Vulnerability Scanning
Use OffURL for regular security scans. Schedule scans weekly or after code changes. OffURL detects SSL issues, security headers, vulnerabilities, and more. Set up automated scans and review reports regularly. The first report is free, and subsequent reports are affordable.
3. Threat Intelligence
Monitor if your site appears in blocklists. Use tools like VirusTotal, URLhaus, or Google Safe Browsing. OffURL includes threat intelligence checks as part of its comprehensive audit. If your site is listed, take immediate action.
4. Log Analysis
Review server logs for suspicious activity: repeated failed logins, unusual user agents, or request patterns. Use tools like GoAccess, Splunk, or Cloudflare Analytics. Set up alerts for high error rates or traffic spikes.
The Problem
Without monitoring, vulnerabilities go undetected
- No visibility into site uptime
- Vulnerabilities found after they're exploited
- No alerts for suspicious activity
- Domain blocklist status unknown
