Monitoring services, such as [Pingdom](https://www.pingdom.com/), allow those responsible for site performance and uptime to know when a website is having problems delivering content. Pingdom provides several different types of uptime and performance checks.

In this guide, we will create and configure the simplest check for a website, an [Uptime Check](https://www.pingdom.com/product/uptime-monitoring), which pings a page and verifies a response. Additional checks include a [Page Speed](https://www.pingdom.com/product/page-speed) check, which tracks page load time, and [Real User Monitoring](https://www.pingdom.com/product/performance-monitoring), which measures other important performance metrics.
