Bot

Our probe network monitors the availability and performance of websites and APIs. Requests from our probes check an address that one of our users monitors, or an address someone looked up on latency.app.

How probe traffic identifies itself

By default, probe requests send this user agent:

Latency/1.0 (+https://latency.app/bot)

What probes do

• Makes lightweight availability checks: DNS, a TCP connection, a TLS handshake, and a single HTTP request to the address being checked.
• Runs on a schedule chosen by the user monitoring that address.
• Does not crawl, index, submit forms, or keep page content.

Unwanted traffic?

Probes reaching an address they should not? Report the traffic for a quick investigation.
