Introduction

A frequently asked question: "Will my website be inaccessible if Fasterize goes down?"

Good news: no. Your site remains accessible thanks to an automatic redirection mechanism.

1. Your website remains online, even without Fasterize

Operation in case of unavailability

• Your domain (www.mondomaine.com) points to www.mondomaine.com.fasterized.com
• This name is resolved automatically:
  • Go to Fasterize if everything works
  • To the IP address of your original server if Fasterize is unavailable or too slow

💡 No risk of downtime: traffic is automatically redirected to your hosting provider.

2. Continuous supervision of the platform

Two independent monitoring services

• Cedexis and Route53 (Amazon) monitor availability
• They orchestrate DNS resolution to ensure automatic failover.

Real-time tracking

• Check status.fasterize.com at any time
• The on-call team monitors the service 24 hours a day.

3. When in doubt: emergency procedure to follow

Steps to take if you notice a problem on your site

1. Click on “Cut optimizations” from your Fasterize console
   • This disables optimizations, but Fasterize remains connected.
2. If the problem persists, click on “Disconnect the site”
   • Traffic is then redirected entirely to your origin.

💡 These actions can be reversed at any time.

Conclusion

Thanks to the integrated automatic failover system, your site will always remain accessible, even in the event of a Fasterize failure. And if in doubt, you have the power to suspend optimizations or temporarily disconnect the service.
