Probes – Uptime and Performance Monitoring
Probes is a tool for uptime and performance monitoring, helping users track the availability and responsiveness of their services.
Background
- Probes.dev is a commercial uptime and performance monitoring service — it checks whether websites, APIs, or servers are online and how fast they respond.
- The site appears to be its own landing page (a "product page" for a SaaS tool), not a news article or blog post.
- "Uptime monitoring" is a standard category of software used by developers and ops teams to get alerts when a service goes down. "Performance monitoring" adds response-time tracking and often synthetic user-request simulations.
- No prior context is needed to understand it: the page is simply presenting the tool and its features (HTTP checks, SSL expiry alerts, public status pages, etc.).
