\nWe noticed during a customer call that their dashboard was loading very slowly, while everything seemed fast on our side. This happens when many small database queries are executed instead of one optimised query, and it usually only shows up with larger datasets. After spotting this, we shifted priorities and managed to make load times up to 30x faster.

\nWe added pagination to the monitor overview pages (Websites, Servers and Cron jobs) so that you can choose whether you want to see 25, 50, 100 or 250 items at a time. This further improves the load time, especially if you have a large number of monitors.

\nIf you build websites, your clients expect them to perform well. So, monitoring the websites you build is a must. But if you want a clear edge over the competition, you need to be even smarter about it. Reactive monitoring is dead. Here's what you should be doing instead.\nRead the article

\nHow important is your website when you have a design furniture company? Kevin Van den Broeck, CEO of design furniture store Decomundo, explains how he keeps his website up and running and shares some of his insights in our latest blog article.

\nSemonto always gets a ‘second opinion’ before alerting you. If your website or server is down, we verify the result from a second location. In addition to Europe (Frankfurt and Amsterdam) and the USA (New York and San Francisco), we have now also added Bangalore (India) as a testing location.

\nSemonto tells you when something is wrong with your website. But sometimes you already know that there will be issues, for example during planned maintenance. In Semonto, you can temporarily pause monitoring, and simply resume it afterwards. OK, show me

\nWe added another way to get notified whenever website or server issues occur: Microsoft Teams notifications. In addition to email, text message, voicemail, push notification, and Slack, you can now also have Semonto deliver a message to your favourite Teams channel or group chat.

\nWhen testing the reachability of your website, there can be certain notifications you do not want to receive. For example, status code HTTP 403 (Forbidden) because a page is behind a login, or HTTP 429 (too many requests). In the Reachability settings, you can now exclude those HTTP statuses you do not want to be notified of. Go to Semonto.

\nSemonto now shows you the IP address of your server in the test results. This \nallows you to quickly identify which server is in trouble.

\nWhen you start monitoring a new website, Semonto runs many tests for the first time. This can lead to an influx of notification e-mails, which can be annoying. To avoid this notification overload, we now wait 15 minutes and combine the first test results into one e-mail.

\nWhen you manage many websites, you sometimes need a chronological overview of all events that happened in a certain month across all monitors. That is why we created a new log. You can now export all the events of a certain month to use them in a spreadsheet. Check it out

and other updates from Semonto
\nAre you enjoying a well-earned break 🏖️? Don't worry: we will keep an eye on your website while you do. And we keep adding improvements to Semonto, too! Check out what we have in store this time 👇.

\nWhat if Semonto tells you about a broken link that you are not looking to fix? Then you can simply click the ignore-button and we will not report the broken link next time. Don't worry, you can always change your mind and unmute it by clicking 'Manage Exclusions'.

\nIn each notification e-mail from Semonto we have now added a link that takes you directly to the notification settings in Semonto. This way, you don't have to open Semonto manually if you decide to change the notification settings for that monitor.

\nTo help you get to the bottom of an issue more quickly, we made the events in the event log clickable. In Semonto, select 'Events' and 'View details'. This detailed view allows you to inspect incidents further or adjust the settings. Have a look.

\nIn the broken link dashboard in Semonto, you can now mark links as fixed after you have repaired them. This helps you keep a clear overview, especially if you have a long list of broken links to work through. Our intern, Laurien, wrote a blog post about it.
![\"\"](\"https://mcusercontent.com/62944568924ce2f58e97e5566/images/7c181d08-d5a7-0700-6e43-6dfc85fcf18f.png\")
\nYou can now add custom headers to the requests made by our reachability and SSL monitors. This helps you bypass authorization restrictions—for example, when monitoring a website that requires authentication via API keys or custom tokens. Read more about it in our How-to pages.

\nIf your TLS certificate is invalid, some other tests (reachability, broken, links, mixed content) will also fail. If you want, you can skip verification of the TLS/SSL certificate in that specific situation. When disabled, those test will still pass, even though invalid TLS certificates are detected.

\nWe've made it easier to manage who gets notified by Semonto. Instead of manually adding email addresses, you can now link your team members to specific notification groups. This also makes things easier if team members leave the company—just remove them from your account, and their email will automatically be removed from all notifications.You can learn more in our latest blog post or watch the tutorial.\nRead the blog post

\nWe also improved the group notifications in Semonto. When you want to apply the same notification settings to multiple websites or servers, the Settings tab now gives you a much clearer overview: which websites or servers the notifications apply to, for which tests and who needs to get notified through which channel.

\nEach TLS/SSL certificate has an expiration date: the date when the certificate is no longer valid. A group of certification authorities and web browser vendors voted to reduce the maximum lifetime of certificates to 47 days by March 2029. Want to know more?

Improved SSL Monitoring in Semonto
\nTo protect your website, you need an SSL certificate.
While its renewal often is a fully automated progress, errors can still occur, resulting in an invalid or expired SSL certificate.
That's why Semonto monitors your SSL certificate and tells you when something is wrong. This way, you can fix or renew the certificate before your visitors are scared away by a security warning.
\nWe have been offering this service since day one, but we have now revamped this to a dedicated feature in Semonto.
SSL certificate monitoring is now a separate item in your menu, so you can access it more easily and get more in-depth information.
This is what it looks like:

\nWe're excited to hear what you think!
\nIf a link breaks, you want to be the first to know.
So by popular demand, we added broken link monitoring to Semonto.
We kept this feature in beta so that you could enjoy it while we continued to test and improve. And today, we are happy to announce that our broken link tester is out of beta. This is what it looks like:

This is how it works:
\nGet notified
No need to manually check websites to keep them healthy. When Semonto identifies broken links, you are notified automatically. You can then go to your dashboard and get all the details.

Latest news of Semonto - August 2021
\nThis summer, our focus was on improving the UX of our tool to make it as clear and intuitive as possible, with the help of the Semonto community 🙌. Find out what we have improved in this month's newsletter.

\nWhen you are fixing issues with a site, and you know that it will be offline, you don’t want to receive any notifications about this. Now you can simply go to a monitor and hit the pause button. A warning will appear that monitoring is paused. Check it out.

\nOne of our users reached out to us with a question. "Is there a way to show broken links and mixed content on my status pages? " We were intrigued and started looking for ways to show this information on a status page. Find out what happened next.

\nYour website will not tell you when it goes offline. And customers who get an HTTP 404 message will not come back. That is why you need a monitor to keep an eye on your website. It tells you when technical issues arise. This is how you can monitor your website.

\nWe gave the Semonto dashboard a make-over.

\nYou already know that a website can go down, the loading times can get too slow, the security can get compromised, or you can get an error message. But one lesser-known issue always catches people off guard: a blank web page. This phenomenon even has a name: the white screen of death.\nRead what you can do about it

\nWe do not recommended using special characters like é or è in a URL, but some companies do have them. Unfortunately, most website monitors will consider such URLs as faulty and report these pages as containing an error. After a request from one of our users, we have found a way to support URLs special characters in Semonto by automatically converting them to a universally supported format. So keep giving us your feedback! We listen!

\nThe navigation bar of a monitored website was becoming a bit too lengthy, with all the settings and options. That is why we have now grouped the information by topic and added tabs. This makes the navigation more intuitive and makes everything more compact. We hope you like it. All feedback and tips are welcome.
Do you have any feedback or further suggestions?
