Uptime
In short and in plain language
Uptime is the time in which a shop or website can be reached and responds.
It is usually given as a share of a period. It is measured by regular checks from outside.
It shows whether the site can be reached. On its own, it does not show whether orders and payments work.
Definition
Uptime describes the time during which a shop or website is reachable and responds. It is usually stated as a share of a period and measured by regular checks from outside. The figure describes reachability, but on its own says nothing about whether orders and payments work.
