It measures Time to First Byte (TTFB) per country, helping you identify regions where your website is slow, blocked, or degraded.<\/p>\n\n<p>Key Features:\n* Visualize global performance via dynamic charts.\n* Test site access from behind firewalls, bans, or CDN blocks.\n* Each country performs its own DNS lookup, so CDN-based sites are tested against the actual edge node used in that region.<\/p>\n\n<p>Who Is It For?\nIf you serve an international audience or want to verify if your content is truly available globally, UP Globe gives you insights from real users in real places \u2014 not just data center probes.<\/p>\n\n<p>Third-Party Libraries:\nUP Globe uses the following open source libraries:\n* Select2 \u2014 Licensed under the MIT License.

Each WordPress installation receives 250 free monitoring credits every week.

There are no subscriptions \u2014 you only pay for what you need.\nThe core plugin remains fully functional with the free tier.

This means that your WordPress site is reached via the actual IP returned by local DNS resolution in the test country, ensuring correct CDN edge selection and bypassing geo-based blocks or firewall rules.\nThis unique approach gives you accurate insights into how your website behaves globally \u2014 especially when served through CDNs, country-specific restrictions, or caching layers.\nYou can also verify each check directly in your web server access logs \u2014 look for requests using the custom user agent that includes \"up-globe\" and the URL (+https:\/\/up-globe.com)<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id='does%20this%20plugin%20connect%20to%20an%20external%20service%3F'><h3>Does this plugin connect to an external service?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes.
