Blocking Ads on Mobile Devices

Blocking ads on our phones is way harder than it should be so I figured I'd make some recommendations. These are not the only options out there, just the ones that I know and have used.

Please note that browser-level and system-level adblocking are complementary; you'll have the best experience if you use both of them together as they each block different things in different places. If you want a basic idea of how effective your combined adblocking setup is, you can visit this website in your mobile browser.

Lastly, there is some additional advice/info under the readmore if you're curious (EDIT: updated March 2025 to add more adblocking options for iOS and to add info about sideloading altered versions of social media apps that don't contain ads on Android and iOS).

Android

Browser-Level

uBlock Origin (for Firefox)

System-Level (works in all apps, not just browsers)

AdGuard

Blokada 5 (completely free version) OR Blokada 6 (has some newer features but they require a subscription)

iPhone/iPad

Browser-Level

AdGuard (Safari extension; free for basic browser-level blocking, requires a subscription or one time purchase of “lifetime” license for custom filters)

1Blocker (Safari extension from an indie developer; can enable one built-in or custom filter list for free, requires a subscription or one time purchase of “lifetime” license for enabling multiple filter lists and updating filter lists to the latest version automatically)

Wipr 2 (one time purchase from indie developer; simplest option to use, but also the least configurable. Best if you are looking for one time set and forget and don’t need any custom filters. Note that it does not have a system-level blocking option)

System-Level (works in all apps, not just browsers)

AdGuard (requires subscription or one time purchase of “lifetime” license for system-level blocking)

1Blocker (can activate without a subscription, but requires subscription or one time purchase of “lifetime” license to enable system-level blocking AND browser-level blocking simultaneously)

AdGuard DNS only (this is free and does not require the AdGuard app, BUT I would only recommend it for advanced users, as you can't easily turn it off like you can with the app. Credit to this Reddit thread for the DNS profile)

Some additional info: browser-level blocking is a browser addon or extension, like you might be used to from a desktop computer. This inspects the HTML code returned by websites and searches for patterns that identify the presence of an ad or other annoyance (popup videos, cookie agreements, etc.). System-level blocking is almost always DNS-based. Basically whenever an app asks your phone's OS to make a connection to a website that is known for serving ads, the system-level blocker replies "sorry, I don't know her 🤷‍♂️💅" and the ad doesn't get downloaded. This works in most places, not just a browser, but be warned that it might make your battery drain a little faster depending on the app/setup.

Each of those types of blocking has strengths and weaknesses. System-level DNS blocking blocks ads in all apps, but companies that own advertising networks AND the websites those ads are served on can combine their services into the same domain to render DNS blocking useless; you can’t block ads served by Facebook/Meta domains without also blocking all of Facebook and Instagram as well because they made sure their ads are served from the same domain as all the user posts you actually want to see. Similarly, browser-level blocking can recognize ads by appearance and content, regardless of what domain they’re served from, so it can block them on Instagram and Facebook. However, it needs to be able to inspect the content being loaded in order to look for ads, and there’s no way to do that in non-browser apps. That’s why using both together will get you the best results.

These limitations do mean that you can’t block ads in the Facebook or Instagram apps, unfortunately, only in the website versions of them visited in your browser. It also means ads served by meta’s/facebook’s ad network in other apps can’t be blocked either (unless you're one of the rare beasts who doesn't use facebook or instagram or threads, in which case feel free to blacklist all Meta/FB domains and watch your ads disappear 😍; I'm jealous and in awe of you lol).

One note: some apps may behave unpredictably when they can't download ads. For example, the Tumblr app has big black spaces where the ads are, and sometimes those spaces collapse as you scroll past them and it messes up scrolling for a few seconds (UPDATE: looks like the scrolling issue may have actually been a Tumblr bug that they have now fixed, at least on iOS). Still way less annoying than getting ads for Draco Malfoy seduction roleplay AI chatbots imo though. And honestly *most* apps handle this fairly gracefully, like a mobile game I play just throws error messages like "ad is not ready" and then continues like normal.

One final note: on Android, you may actually be able to find hacked versions of Meta’s apps that have the ad frameworks removed. In some cases they are a little janky (unsurprisingly, apps don’t always take kindly to having some of their innards ripped out by a third-party), and they are often out of date. BUT in return you get an Instagram app with no ads whatsoever, and some of them even add additional features like buttons for saving IG videos and photos to your phone. However, use these apps at your own risk, as there is functionally no way to validate the code that the third-parties have added or removed from the app. Example altered IG app (I have not vetted this altered app, it's just a popular option): link.

It is technically possible to install altered apps on iOS as well, but Apple makes it much, much harder to do (unless you are jailbroken, which is a whole different ballgame). I'm not going to cover sideloading or jailbreaking here because even I as a very techy person eventually grew tired of messing with it or having to pay for it. If you're interested you can read more about the different ways to do sideloading on iOS here.

I’m sorry but I’m still losing my fucking MIND over elons incomprehensible Linux own the libs tweet like

Like it’s incredibly obvious he heard about a traceroute, and then googled “how to delete file in Linux” and then didn’t even read the results

Like… woke_mind_virus isn’t a fully qualified domain name, meaning it relies on a custom DNS resolution specific to his machine, or if utilizing a vpn, that specific vpn’s custom host file. Or that the American government would have a host entry for a woke mind virus, which if you’ve ever had to use a government website, is laughable. Also DNS is global for the most part, but honestly we can move on at this point.

So sure, we’ll say that the government has forced all public internet in America to resolve woke_mind_virus. Where does it resolve to? YOUR OWN COMPUTER, you silly billy! Obviously! This is *almost* comprehensible. Sure, we are all infected with the woke mind virus, why not. It must be destroyed within ourselves. Yeah man, whatever. Why not? So how do we destroy it?

Duh! Just delete it! How do we do that in our L337 uber hax0r terminal on our fresh kali live usb (because partitions are scary)? We’ll save that for last.

Because while deleting one file could make a website inoperable, it does not remove every trace of it! It first needs a configuration file in the web server, usually Apache or nginx. This is at LEAST one file, but cmon, if you’re gonna psychologically program the masses and keep it out of public view, you gotta encrypt that shit! So naturally, an SSL is in order! That’s easily 1-3 more files. woke_mind_virus can get a pass on not being fully qualified in this specific case because certs can theoretically be self signed and trusted on local networks, but he wouldn’t be able to tell you that. If you stood up a little one page html site on a web server on your own computer, and navigated to it on port 443 (https://) you would get an SSL error, even though it’s on your own machine. I feel like I’ve beaten this into the ground enough, but just understand it’s stupid.

What’s important to note here is that these BARE MINIMUM files are what routes the request from your machine to the destination site, even if it’s your own computer. If you delete the contents of the site (also called the docroot), the site still exists, and can receive and route requests to and from it, it’s just empty. You’ll probably get a 404 because there’s no actual content to serve. This woke mind princess is in another castle.

It’s also imprudent to delete these configuration files first, because that’s how you determine where the site content actually is! These files dictate what directory (folder for you windows losers) is called upon to actually serve you the content you see displayed when you open a webpage. So you need this information if you don’t want to destroy the entire file system and only want to remove the woke_mind_virus site. Cmon Elon, this is baby shit.

So of course, the strat with the most Efficiency and preserving the rest of the system (which seems to be the point of the tweet) is to find the docroot, delete the docroot, and then delete the web server config files. So how do we delete them?

And here we have it: rm -rf

The syntax is as follows:

rm -rf </path/to/file>

Even if you don’t know shit about Linux, you can probably see the problem here. It’s just so blatantly incorrect, it’s almost as if he’s never done it before.

For those that want to see a real world example, here is me creating a file called woke_mind_virus in my home directory and then trying to delete it the Elon Way:

(this is a small story of how I came to write my own intrusion detection/prevention framework and why I'm really happy with that decision, don't mind me rambling)

Preface

About two weeks ago I was faced with a pretty annoying problem. Whilst I was going home by train I have noticed that my server at home had been running hot and slowed down a lot. This prompted me to check my nginx logs, the only service that is indirectly available to the public (more on that later), which made me realize that - due to poor access control - someone had been sending me hundreds of thousands of huge DNS requests to my server, most likely testing for vulnerabilities. I added an iptables rule to drop all traffic from the aforementioned source and redirected remaining traffic to a backup NextDNS instance that I set up previously with the same overrides and custom records that my DNS had to not get any downtime for the service but also allow my server to cool down. I stopped the DNS service on my server at home and then used the remaining train ride to think. How would I stop this from happening in the future? I pondered multiple possible solutions for this problem, whether to use fail2ban, whether to just add better access control, or to just stick with the NextDNS instance.

I ended up going with a completely different option: making a solution, that's perfectly fit for my server, myself.

My Server Structure

So, I should probably explain how I host and why only nginx is public despite me hosting a bunch of services under the hood.

I have a public facing VPS that only allows traffic to nginx. That traffic then gets forwarded through a VPN connection to my home server so that I don't have to have any public facing ports on said home server. The VPS only really acts like the public interface for the home server with access control and logging sprinkled in throughout my configs to get more layers of security. Some Services can only be interacted with through the VPN or a local connection, such that not everything is actually forwarded - only what I need/want to be.

I actually do have fail2ban installed on both my VPS and home server, so why make another piece of software?

Tabarnak - Succeeding at Banning

I had a few requirements for what I wanted to do:

Only allow HTTP(S) traffic through Cloudflare

Only allow DNS traffic from given sources; (location filtering, explicit white-/blacklisting);

Webhook support for logging

Should be interactive (e.g. POST /api/ban/{IP})

Detect automated vulnerability scanning

Integration with the AbuseIPDB (for checking and reporting)

As I started working on this, I realized that this would soon become more complex than I had thought at first.

Webhooks for logging This was probably the easiest requirement to check off my list, I just wrote my own log() function that would call a webhook. Sadly, the rest wouldn't be as easy.

Allowing only Cloudflare traffic This was still doable, I only needed to add a filter in my nginx config for my domain to only allow Cloudflare IP ranges and disallow the rest. I ended up doing something slightly different. I added a new default nginx config that would just return a 404 on every route and log access to a different file so that I could detect connection attempts that would be made without Cloudflare and handle them in Tabarnak myself.

Integration with AbuseIPDB Also not yet the hard part, just call AbuseIPDB with the parsed IP and if the abuse confidence score is within a configured threshold, flag the IP, when that happens I receive a notification that asks me whether to whitelist or to ban the IP - I can also do nothing and let everything proceed as it normally would. If the IP gets flagged a configured amount of times, ban the IP unless it has been whitelisted by then.

Location filtering + Whitelist + Blacklist This is where it starts to get interesting. I had to know where the request comes from due to similarities of location of all the real people that would actually connect to the DNS. I didn't want to outright ban everyone else, as there could be valid requests from other sources. So for every new IP that triggers a callback (this would only be triggered after a certain amount of either flags or requests), I now need to get the location. I do this by just calling the ipinfo api and checking the supplied location. To not send too many requests I cache results (even though ipinfo should never be called twice for the same IP - same) and save results to a database. I made my own class that bases from collections.UserDict which when accessed tries to find the entry in memory, if it can't it searches through the DB and returns results. This works for setting, deleting, adding and checking for records. Flags, AbuseIPDB results, whitelist entries and blacklist entries also get stored in the DB to achieve persistent state even when I restart.

Detection of automated vulnerability scanning For this, I went through my old nginx logs, looking to find the least amount of paths I need to block to catch the biggest amount of automated vulnerability scan requests. So I did some data science magic and wrote a route blacklist. It doesn't just end there. Since I know the routes of valid requests that I would be receiving (which are all mentioned in my nginx configs), I could just parse that and match the requested route against that. To achieve this I wrote some really simple regular expressions to extract all location blocks from an nginx config alongside whether that location is absolute (preceded by an =) or relative. After I get the locations I can test the requested route against the valid routes and get back whether the request was made to a valid URL (I can't just look for 404 return codes here, because there are some pages that actually do return a 404 and can return a 404 on purpose). I also parse the request method from the logs and match the received method against the HTTP standard request methods (which are all methods that services on my server use). That way I can easily catch requests like:

XX.YYY.ZZZ.AA - - [25/Sep/2023:14:52:43 +0200] "145.ll|'|'|SGFjS2VkX0Q0OTkwNjI3|'|'|WIN-JNAPIER0859|'|'|JNapier|'|'|19-02-01|'|'||'|'|Win 7 Professional SP1 x64|'|'|No|'|'|0.7d|'|'|..|'|'|AA==|'|'|112.inf|'|'|SGFjS2VkDQoxOTIuMTY4LjkyLjIyMjo1NTUyDQpEZXNrdG9wDQpjbGllbnRhLmV4ZQ0KRmFsc2UNCkZhbHNlDQpUcnVlDQpGYWxzZQ==12.act|'|'|AA==" 400 150 "-" "-"

I probably over complicated this - by a lot - but I can't go back in time to change what I did.

Interactivity As I showed and mentioned earlier, I can manually white-/blacklist an IP. This forced me to add threads to my previously single-threaded program. Since I was too stubborn to use websockets (I have a distaste for websockets), I opted for probably the worst option I could've taken. It works like this: I have a main thread, which does all the log parsing, processing and handling and a side thread which watches a FIFO-file that is created on startup. I can append commands to the FIFO-file which are mapped to the functions they are supposed to call. When the FIFO reader detects a new line, it looks through the map, gets the function and executes it on the supplied IP. Doing all of this manually would be way too tedious, so I made an API endpoint on my home server that would append the commands to the file on the VPS. That also means, that I had to secure that API endpoint so that I couldn't just be spammed with random requests. Now that I could interact with Tabarnak through an API, I needed to make this user friendly - even I don't like to curl and sign my requests manually. So I integrated logging to my self-hosted instance of https://ntfy.sh and added action buttons that would send the request for me. All of this just because I refused to use sockets.

First successes and why I'm happy about this After not too long, the bans were starting to happen. The traffic to my server decreased and I can finally breathe again. I may have over complicated this, but I don't mind. This was a really fun experience to write something new and learn more about log parsing and processing. Tabarnak probably won't last forever and I could replace it with solutions that are way easier to deploy and way more general. But what matters is, that I liked doing it. It was a really fun project - which is why I'm writing this - and I'm glad that I ended up doing this. Of course I could have just used fail2ban but I never would've been able to write all of the extras that I ended up making (I don't want to take the explanation ad absurdum so just imagine that I added cool stuff) and I never would've learned what I actually did.

So whenever you are faced with a dumb problem and could write something yourself, I think you should at least try. This was a really fun experience and it might be for you as well.

Post Scriptum

First of all, apologies for the English - I'm not a native speaker so I'm sorry if some parts were incorrect or anything like that. Secondly, I'm sure that there are simpler ways to accomplish what I did here, however this was more about the experience of creating something myself rather than using some pre-made tool that does everything I want to (maybe even better?). Third, if you actually read until here, thanks for reading - hope it wasn't too boring - have a nice day :)

Beyond Expiration: Advanced Domain Monitoring Threats You Didn't Know About

In today's hyperconnected world, your domain name is more than just a URL—it's your digital identity, brand reputation, and customer gateway. While many website owners remember to renew their domains on time, few realize that domain threats extend far beyond expiration. From DNS hijacking to WHOIS tampering, modern cybercriminals have found sophisticated ways to exploit overlooked vulnerabilities.

This article explores the advanced domain monitoring threats you probably haven’t heard about—and how tools like WebStatus247 can help protect your online presence 24/7.

🔍 1. DNS Hijacking: Invisible Takeover of Your Traffic

DNS hijacking occurs when attackers alter your domain's DNS settings to redirect traffic elsewhere—often to phishing pages or malware-infested sites. This may happen through:

Compromised DNS provider credentials

Registrar vulnerabilities

Insider threats

If your DNS records are changed without you noticing, your users could end up on fake sites, damaging trust and security.

How Monitoring Helps: A domain monitoring tool instantly alerts you if your DNS A, CNAME, MX, or TXT records change—helping you react before harm is done.

👁️ 2. WHOIS Tampering: Silent Brand Theft

WHOIS records show ownership and contact details for a domain. While many use privacy protection, some data still remains accessible. If a hacker changes the WHOIS record (name, email, company), they may:

Gain control over domain transfers

Receive verification emails

Impersonate the real domain owner

Solution: Real-time WHOIS change detection flags suspicious alterations to your registration information, keeping you in control of domain ownership.

🧿 3. Typosquatting & Homograph Attacks

Typosquatting involves registering a domain that looks similar to yours (like webstatuz247.com instead of webstatus247.com) to mislead your customers. Homograph attacks go further by using international characters that look like English letters—such as "а" (Cyrillic) instead of "a."

Why It’s Dangerous:

Fake login pages steal credentials

Customers lose trust

You lose traffic and revenue

Prevention: Advanced monitoring tools can track new domain registrations that mimic yours. These alerts allow you to take swift legal or technical action.

🔒 4. SSL Certificate Expiry & Misconfiguration

Many businesses forget to renew their SSL certificates, leading to security warnings in browsers like Chrome and Firefox. Worse, an attacker could:

Replace your certificate with a fake one

Trigger HTTPS errors that reduce SEO rankings

Break API integrations

Monitoring Feature: SSL monitoring ensures your certificate is valid, unexpired, and properly configured—so your site always remains secure and trusted.

⏳ 5. Name Server Changes: A Sign of Breach

Name servers are the backbone of your domain’s direction. A sudden switch to unknown name servers can mean someone has hijacked your domain.

Real-world risk: Hackers can transfer your domain to a new hosting provider and serve malicious content, all while your real team remains unaware.

How Monitoring Helps: WebStatus247 and similar tools monitor name server integrity and alert you to any unauthorized changes—buying you time to lock things down.

🛠️ How WebStatus247 Protects You

WebStatus247’s Domain Monitoring Suite offers:

Instant alerts for DNS, WHOIS, and name server changes

SSL certificate expiry notifications

Multi-channel alerts via email, Slack, and webhooks

Dashboard insights for all your domain activity

Global monitoring to detect region-based issues

This makes it a top-tier solution for developers, businesses, and agencies looking to guard against both basic and advanced domain threats.

✅ Final Thoughts

Most domain owners think they're safe as long as their registration doesn't lapse. Unfortunately, modern domain threats are stealthy, technical, and damaging—and they’re becoming more frequent.

The good news? You don’t need to be a cybersecurity expert to stay protected. With domain monitoring tools like WebStatus247, you get peace of mind, instant alerts, and complete control—so you can focus on growing your business instead of guarding your domain every minute.

YI Cam Remote Access: Your Guide to Self-Hosted Surveillance

Want to have complete control over your YI Cam and go beyond its default cloud? For more privacy and customization, many users prefer YI Cam Remote Access, rather than using the manufacturer's cloud. Therefore, this post explores how to accomplish this sophisticated configuration, assisting you in navigating the frequently challenging process of self-hosting your camera's feed. Walk through this post to learn more details! 

Understanding the YI Cam Remote Access

Generally, you need to install a custom firewall on your device if you want to access the YI camera remotely and connect it to your server. Additionally, it allows leveraging the benefits of the RTSP (real-time streaming protocol) streaming as well as FTP access.  Moreover, it eliminates the need for third-party platforms and for configuring cameras to the self-hosted servers.

However, it acts as a “Network Remote Controller,” especially for the multimedia servers. It allows users to control media playback remotely. But it does not deliver audio or video streams continuously; instead, it communicates with the servers streaming the multimedia content. Hence, for the YI Cam Remote Access, users must connect their security cameras to the server through RTSP.

How to Connect Camera To Server for YI Remote Access?

Moreover, enabling the YI Cam Remote Access opens up several possibilities and advanced functionalities. So, let’s begin with the essential steps to Connect Camera To Server for managing and monitoring your YI camera remotely. 

Initially, confirm your YI Cam supports the RTSP or streaming compatibility, as some models may require custom firmware.

Subsequently, set up your chosen server device, such as a computer, NAS, or Raspberry Pi, with a suitable operating system.

Next, install essential software like Blue Iris, MotionEye, FFmpeg, or Home Assistant to manage the video feed.

Finally, configure secure remote access using methods such as port forwarding, VPN, or Dynamic DNS for external viewing.

Now, you can view, configure, and control your YI camera remotely.

Bottom Line

In conclusion, YI Cam Remote Access empowers you with full control over your camera's feed through self-hosting, prioritizing privacy & customization. Additionally, this advanced setup typically requires RTSP compatibility, a dedicated server, and management software. With secure remote access methods such as VPN or port forwarding, you can ensure seamless monitoring from anywhere.

Connecting custom domain to github pages.

honestly fuck that shit

I use namesilo for my domain, which is .dev, which by default requires https aka SSL sertificate.

Github Pages provides SSL by default, no need to get new sertificate

Namesilo provides template for github DNS, just click "add Github Template". looks like this depending on where in namesilo you opened DNS:

a. new version:

b. old version:

c. Once button "use template" pressed, the DNS table will update with these lines:

No need to edit anything in them.

4. THE ONLY EXTRA STEP YOU NEED is adding one more line:

Now DNS should look like this, you're done with namesilo part:

5. For github there are plenty of tutorials online, their wiki is enough:

https://docs.github.com/en/pages/getting-started-with-github-pages/securing-your-github-pages-site-with-https

6. "my site doesn't work" part:

All the errors are related to Github not timely checking shit in order. You just press check again and again and again. delete custom domain and insert again, check "Enforce HTTPS" when it is allowed. "it's not eligible at this time" message is SSL not ready, nothing to do, just wait and check again. Eventually you'll get "the certificate is already created" message on top of the page, so SSL added.

Then it will be "primary DNS is added" in green under custom domain or smth and "www improperly configured" as an error in orange. Still nothing to do, just check again.

Even if "DNS check successful" and you still don't see your site, it is just a matter of doing the same check again, remove, add again. THere's no extra hidden step anywhere. So, the issue in either :

you lack this one line in DNS

you have to delete and add domain again on github (if sll created, you can move from this step imo)

you have to keep "check again"

AND NOT A SINGLE FUCKING ANSWER all over the web with this issue gave a clear visual representation of how it is supposed to look in the DNS table, namesilo or not. Someone just said "add this" and it's description of the last line that has been already added?? JFC

anyways, my custom domain works and I'll eventually update my website using github. right now it is an old site I've done for my CV showcasing what I know from programming (isn't much, hence the post lol)

How Monitoring from Multiple Global Locations Helps Detect Regional Performance Issues

In the digital age, user experience is everything. Whether you’re managing an online store, a SaaS product, or even a personal blog, one of your top priorities should be ensuring your website performs reliably for all users—no matter where they are in the world.

But here’s the catch: what looks great from your headquarters might not be the case in another country. A page that loads in under 2 seconds in London might take 8 seconds to load in Jakarta. This kind of performance inconsistency—called a regional performance issue—can quietly hurt your traffic, conversions, and customer trust.

So how can you detect these problems before your users complain?

The answer lies in monitoring from multiple global locations.

What Is Multi-Location Monitoring? Multi-location monitoring involves using monitoring nodes or servers in various parts of the world to simulate user access to your website. These synthetic users “visit” your site from different cities and countries to test page load speed, uptime, response times, API behavior, and transaction flows.

Think of it like having automated testers scattered across the globe. Each one gives you a local user’s perspective on your website’s performance.

Why Do Regional Performance Issues Happen? There are many reasons your website may perform differently depending on the user’s location:

Geographic Latency: The farther the user is from your hosting server, the more time it takes for data to travel.

ISP Quality: Local internet providers may have bandwidth limitations or inefficient routing.

CDN Misconfiguration: If your content delivery network isn’t caching properly or doesn’t have edge servers in that region, users suffer slower load times.

Firewall or Government Restrictions: Some countries may block or throttle access to certain domains or services.

DNS Resolution Delays: Improper DNS configurations can make pages take longer to resolve in some regions.

Server or Hosting Downtime: A localized data center or server node may go down without affecting your main site.

Without a global monitoring setup, these issues often go unnoticed until customers complain or traffic drops.

Benefits of Monitoring from Multiple Locations ✅ 1. Faster Detection of Regional Downtime Imagine your site goes down only for users in India due to an ISP routing error. If you’re monitoring solely from the US or Europe, you won’t notice the issue. But if you have nodes in Mumbai or Bangalore, you’ll be alerted instantly.

This allows you to take action—before the customer tweets about it.

✅ 2. Understanding Local User Experience It’s not enough for a website to just work—it needs to be fast. Monitoring from different locations gives you insight into load time and performance, helping you identify:

Which assets (images, scripts) load slowly in certain regions

If JavaScript-heavy pages are lagging in low-bandwidth countries

Whether third-party services (e.g., payment gateways) are slowing things down

✅ 3. Validate Your CDN’s Performance You pay for a Content Delivery Network (CDN) so your content is delivered quickly from edge servers around the world. But is it working?

Multi-location monitoring helps you verify that your CDN is caching content correctly in all regions. If edge servers aren’t being hit, you can troubleshoot configuration or TTL settings.

✅ 4. Simulate Global Transactions If you operate a global e-commerce platform, your checkout process should work everywhere. With synthetic monitoring, you can simulate logins, product searches, and payments in multiple regions—ensuring every step works globally.

✅ 5. Improve SEO and Conversion Rates Page speed is a ranking factor in Google’s algorithm. If your site is slow in a particular region, you may rank lower in local search results—hurting visibility and traffic.

Likewise, users tend to abandon slow-loading sites. Monitoring helps you fine-tune regional performance to boost both SEO and conversions.

How Platforms Like WebStatus247 Help One great tool for implementing multi-location monitoring is WebStatus247. It offers:

🌍 Global synthetic monitoring from multiple cities and continents

⏱️ Uptime checks every 30 seconds

⚠️ Custom alerts for each region (via email, SMS, Slack, Telegram)

📈 Performance dashboards and historical reports

🔐 SSL and domain expiry monitoring

🔄 Cron job monitoring and API testing

This kind of tool empowers developers, site owners, and IT teams to be proactive rather than reactive.

Real-World Example: E-commerce Slowdown in Asia Let’s say your site is hosted in New York, and everything seems fine. Sales are steady in the US and Europe—but strangely, your Asian traffic has dropped 40% over the past month.

Using WebStatus247, you run tests from Singapore, Tokyo, and Mumbai. You discover:

DNS resolution is taking over 2 seconds in Asia

Your CDN isn’t caching product images effectively in that region

Checkout page scripts are being blocked by a local ISP

With this insight, you adjust your DNS setup, update your CDN configuration, and change your script providers.

Within days, load time in Asia drops from 8 seconds to under 2.5 seconds—and conversions bounce back.

Best Practices for Global Monitoring Here’s how to get the most out of a global monitoring strategy:

Pick diverse node locations: Cover every market you serve (Asia, Europe, North America, Africa, etc.)

Monitor more than uptime: Check for DNS resolution, SSL status, load time, and full-page rendering

Set smart alert thresholds: Customize alerts per region to avoid noise

Correlate with real user data: Combine synthetic monitoring with Real User Monitoring (RUM)

Test key journeys: Don’t just test the homepage—test login, cart, checkout, etc.

Check mobile performance: Simulate mobile browser behavior too

Conclusion: A Competitive Advantage You Can’t Afford to Ignore In the past, monitoring was just about uptime. But in today’s globally connected web, it’s about performance from every corner of the map.

Your website might be perfect in Los Angeles but painfully slow in Berlin. Without multi-location monitoring, you wouldn’t even know. And by the time you find out, users may have already left—and taken their trust (and money) with them.
