Your site works here. Does it work everywhere?

Multi-region monitoring runs the same checks from multiple geographic locations and compares the results. It matters because CDNs, DNS geo-routing, and edge caching mean different visitors get different responses. A site can be fully functional in one region and broken in another. Single-location monitoring only tells you about one version of reality.

Sitewatch catches CDN edge divergence (stale or broken assets on specific edges), DNS geo-routing misconfigurations (traffic sent to wrong origins), region-specific redirect loops, cache purge failures that leave old assets on certain nodes, and content delivery issues like geo-fenced pages returning errors for specific locations.

Basic multi-location uptime checks only verify that a server responds with 200 OK. Sitewatch goes deeper: it parses the full page HTML, verifies every linked asset, checks MIME types, and compares the complete results across regions. This means it catches CDN divergence where the page loads but serves broken JavaScript from a specific edge -- something a simple uptime check would miss.

Each region uses independent 2-of-3 retry confirmation. If a check in EU-West fails, Sitewatch retries within that region before confirming the incident. A failure is only flagged when it is persistent and reproducible in that location, eliminating noise from transient network blips.

Yes. After deploying new assets and purging your CDN cache, trigger an on-demand check. Sitewatch will verify from multiple regions that each location serves the updated assets. If some edges still serve stale versions, you will see exactly which regions are lagging behind the purge.
