- Test server response to ping and traceroute to confirm no network issues.
- Check for server security logs to detect any unauthorized login attempts.
- Ensure the server is protected against DDoS attacks (via a service like Cloudflare).
- Ensure that PHP services are functioning without errors.
2. Website Load Time & Performance:
- Run a performance test (Google PageSpeed, GTmetrix) to detect slow pages.
- Monitor page load times across different devices (desktop, mobile).
- Check for 404 errors (broken links) in the server logs.
- Ensure CSS and JavaScript files are minified and optimized.
- Check that critical scripts are loaded asynchronously to improve page load.
- Check for large, unoptimized images and resize or compress as needed.
- Verify that caching is enabled for static assets (images, JS, CSS).
- Check if a CDN is working properly for content distribution.
- Monitor server response times and request times (for slow requests).
- Check for unnecessary redirects that may slow down page loads.
- Ensure that all JavaScript functions are working as expected.
- Test mobile page load speed and optimize where necessary.
- Check for excessive HTTP requests and reduce if needed.
- Ensure that browser caching is set for key resources.
- Test the website’s navigation speed to ensure smooth user experience.
- Monitor time-to-first-byte (TTFB) and identify any delays.
- Ensure that lazy loading for images and videos is enabled.
- Check for large video files or other heavy content that can impact speed.
- Verify that GZIP compression is enabled on the server for text-based files.
- Monitor the server’s uptime and availability every 5 minutes.
- Check that HTTP/2 is enabled to improve load times.
- Ensure that all page redirects are 301 and not 302 (for SEO and speed).
3. Database & Data Integrity Monitoring:
- Check database connectivity between the server and the website.
- Verify that the database is accessible and functioning properly.
- Monitor database performance (query response times, slow queries).
- Ensure the database is properly indexed for optimal performance.
- Check database error logs for any inconsistencies or failures.
- Ensure that all scheduled database backups have been completed without errors.
- Review any database replication logs (if applicable).
- Monitor database connection pool utilization to prevent resource exhaustion.
- Check for database locking issues or deadlocks.
- Perform routine database integrity checks to ensure no data corruption.
- Verify the database schema is up-to-date and properly structured.
- Check for large unused tables that may need optimization or pruning.
- Monitor query execution time to identify slow queries.
- Check for any orphaned data (data without proper relationships) in the database.
- Ensure user session data is cleared after a period of inactivity.
- Monitor database error thresholds and raise alerts when limits are exceeded.
- Check for corrupted tables and repair them if necessary.
- Verify that the database replication process (if used) is functioning properly.
- Ensure there are no orphaned records that might cause integrity issues.
4. Front-End / User Interface Monitoring:
- Verify that all images are loading properly without broken links.
- Check that form submission buttons (e.g., contact form, login) are functional.
- Monitor JavaScript errors using browser developer tools (console logs).
- Test website compatibility across multiple browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari).
- Test mobile responsiveness to ensure the site functions well on all screen sizes.
- Check for missing or improperly sized fonts (web-safe and custom fonts).
- Test that all navigation links are working and lead to the correct pages.
- Ensure that all interactive elements (sliders, modals, accordions) are functioning.
- Check that CSS styles are loading correctly without broken layout.
- Test input validation on forms to prevent invalid data entry.
- Monitor pop-ups and modals to ensure they are not blocking content.
- Verify that all third-party widgets (e.g., social media buttons) are loading correctly.
- Ensure that the website’s call-to-action (CTA) buttons are visible and functional.
- Test the website’s search functionality to make sure it returns relevant results.
- Monitor for any broken or missing hyperlinks (internal/external).
- Check for accessibility compliance (contrast, alt text, ARIA roles).
- Ensure that custom scripts (e.g., analytics, chatbots) are not causing errors.
- Test and ensure smooth transitions between pages (e.g., when scrolling or clicking).
- Test if all contact details (phone numbers, emails) are up to date and visible.
- Monitor website pop-ups to ensure they are not intrusive and function as expected.
- Test all video players and embedded media for functionality.
5. Security Monitoring:
- Check for any security vulnerabilities using automated security tools (e.g., Sucuri).
- Monitor for any unauthorized access attempts via server logs.
- Verify that SSL/TLS certificates are valid and properly installed.
- Review admin login attempts and ensure there are no unusual access patterns.
- Ensure that two-factor authentication (2FA) is enabled for admin accounts.
