Health Alert Threshold

Set the health-score number that triggers an alert. Range 0–100, default 70. Setting 0 is valid and disables score-based alerts.

Health Alert Threshold

Every site gets a health score from 0–100 after each check. The Health alert threshold is the number you drop below before LemWatch fires a "health degraded" alert.

Default

• 70 — sensible starting point for production sites

Range

• 0 → 100 — both ends inclusive
• 0 is a valid setting and means never fire a score-based alert (useful for staging or low-priority sites)
• The form preserves 0 explicitly — earlier versions silently turned 0 into the default 70

How to pick a value

Site type — Suggested threshold —

Critical production — 80–90 (any degradation pages you) —

Marketing site — 65–75 (default behaviour) —

Staging / dev — 0 or 30 (rarely fires) —

Multi-region SaaS — 75 + use response-time thresholds for tighter SLAs —

How it interacts with other alerts

• Down detection (HTTP 5xx, timeout) always fires regardless of this threshold
• The threshold only governs the score-degradation alert
• Combine with response-time thresholds and expected body content for layered alerting
