PPC Shield is so much more than a click fraud prevention tool!
It is constantly evolving to prevent different types of ad budget waste. A website or landing page that goes down, and still receives ad traffic, means you lose money.
That’s why we designed the Website Monitoring tool to keep you informed 24/7 and avoid unforeseen losses.
Let’s go over some FAQ about this feature.
✔️ How does Website Monitoring work?
- PPC Shield automatically tracks all your landing pages (final URLs) from your Google Ads accounts connected to our system. Unlike other website / uptime monitoring systems, you don’t need to enter URLs manually for monitoring.
- The system will send you an alert via email the moment an incident occurs.
- Diagnose the issue within seconds, allowing you to resolve the issue quickly and confidently.
❌ What causes the landing page to stop working?
Your landing page may not be working properly for many reasons: site that returns an HTTP error code, such as 403 Forbidden or 404 Not Found; cyber attacks like DDoS that make an online service unavailable to users; browser cannot verify the SSL certificates returned by the server; DNS lookup errors; etc.
⌛ When does the status get checked?
Your landing pages are tested every 10 minutes, 24×7.
📍 From what location the landing page is monitored?
From Germany.
📈 What is the overall availability?
The percentage of times the landing page was available out of the total number of tests performed during the chosen period.
⏱️ What is the average response time?
This is the average landing page response time across all tests, excluding tests that did not receive a response (operation timeout).
⚙️ Can I change the alert settings?
Yes. In the top-right corner of the Incidents block, click on the Settings button.
