Your website is online — but is it fast enough? Watchman Tower tracks real response times, so you know exactly how your site behaves.
Your website may be online — but how fast is it responding?
Response time is the heartbeat of user experience. At Watchman Tower, we go beyond uptime to answer that question with clarity — using real monitoring data from our own infrastructure.
Most systems only ask: “Is it working?”
The real question is: “How many milliseconds does it take to work?”
A service can be up and still feel broken if it responds too slowly. High response time leads to user drop-off, poor SEO performance, and frustrated developers.
Google’s Core Web Vitals also weigh response time heavily in search rankings. Fast isn’t optional anymore — it’s expected.
Below, we share response time data collected directly from our own homepage using Watchman Tower’s monitoring system.
Over the past month, response time dropped from around 180ms to just under 80ms. This isn’t a test environment — it’s production, monitored continuously.
The last 7 days confirm the trend: consistent performance with no major spikes. That’s not just uptime — that’s quality in action.
Being online is one thing. Responding quickly is another.
