Software today announced the availability of AlertSite for Magento,
a free plug-in for the Magento eCommerce platform that is available from
the Magento
Connect Marketplace. With this extension, Magento users gain basic
website monitoring services, daily samples of browser performance and

“The Magento integration
creates thought leadership and product innovation within Internet
retailing, bringing extended value to this community.”
“We are very excited to expand the reach of our website performance
monitoring tools used by over one million users to communities such as
Magento who are making the lives of developers easier,” said Ken
Godskind, VP Monitoring Services at SmartBear. “The Magento integration
creates thought leadership and product innovation within Internet
retailing, bringing extended value to this community.”
Store performance can be a challenge and retailers need to leverage
every online visitor. Site availability, speed and user experience
optimization are crucial to online success. By using the AlertSite
solution, Magento users can now improve store results by improving
website performance and results including conversion, time on site,
bounce rates and average order sizes.
“AlertSite for Magento integrates a view of availability and performance
directly into the Magento console for free, providing valuable user
experience information,” said Marc Infield, President of
California-based Infield Design. “Response time is key on any eCommerce
site and the AlertSite extension is the simplest way to get objective
performance metrics within Magento.”
