With these server <strong>monitoring tools</strong> you need never worry ever again about the <strong>performance</strong> of your website as absolutely anything can be monitored from speed to security. <strong>&#8230;</strong> detailed reports and flexible alerts. This powerful <strong>tool</strong>, which supports Web 2.0, AJAX and plugin-based applications like Flash and <strong>Java</strong>, gives you a truly global perspective on how end-users see your site with <strong>monitoring</strong> agents stationed in the USA, Asia, Africa and Europe. webmetrics <strong>&#8230;</strong></span></li>

This involves <strong>performance testing</strong> your application in advance. Set a level for what you consider to be an acceptable response time, and ramp up simulated users carrying out typical tasks until you exceed that threshold. <strong>&#8230;</strong> In theory modern garbage collected languages like <strong>Java</strong> and C# make memory leaks much less likely than the direct memory allocation of C and C++, but they are still possible: watch for memory allocated by static classes, caches that are not cleared, <strong>&#8230;</strong></span></li>
