Default checking location

By default, Visualping will crawl the website using a United States (California) IP addresses. However, there are many different checking locations from various locations that can be used instead depending on your use case. For example, you can use the Canada checking location to monitor the Canadian version of a website with unique content or use the Germany checking location when monitoring a domain ending in (.de) so it loads faster.


Changing the checking location

You can set a specific checking location for each monitor using the Check from dropdown menu in the monitor's Advanced settings. To change the checking location for many monitors at once, use bulk editing.
