How to Handle Website Downtime Like a Pro

Downtime happens. What matters is how quickly you catch it — and how fast your host helps you fix it. First rule: monitor your site.

Use tools like UptimeRobot or Pingdom to get alerts when your site goes offline. Many hosts also offer uptime monitoring built-in.

Check if the issue is on your end (plugins, themes, local network) or a server-side problem. Contact support immediately with all the details.

If downtime becomes frequent, it might be time to switch hosts. Constant outages hurt SEO, sales, and trust.
