FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is Clesk Uptime a full Uptrends replacement?

For availability, SSL, keyword and cron job monitoring: yes. For browser transactions, real user monitoring or checks from many world regions: no, Clesk Uptime deliberately does not offer those.

Why does Clesk Uptime check only from Germany?

A deliberate choice: monitoring data stays in Germany and results are consistent and traceable. A second European probe location is planned.
