[ PROTOCOL // PUBLIC ]

TRUST THE
METHOD,
NOT THE METER.

SMMMeter observes technical reachability and response time. This is the complete public logic behind the signal—what we request, how often, and where it can be wrong.

01 / COLLECTION

WHAT HITS THE WIRE

Every visible panel listed on CompareSMM enters the monitor automatically. Removing a panel from the public directory disables future checks.

WEB://HOURLY LIGHTWEIGHT WEBSITE PROBE

One due website measurement per panel per hour. A scheduler runs every ten minutes and claims at most 30 overdue panels per run, preventing large bursts.

  • HTTP HEAD request
  • Up to three redirects
  • 5s connection / 8s read timeout
  • TLS certificates are verified
API://DAILY REAL CATALOG SYNC TIMING

The API signal comes from CompareSMM's existing daily service-catalog synchronization. SMMMeter records its duration and outcome instead of creating a second synthetic API request.

  • Maximum once per 24 hours
  • Uses the panel's configured API endpoint
  • Records latency and service count
  • Avoids duplicate API load
02 / REGION ROTATION

ONE CHECK.
SIX VANTAGE POINTS.

The primary website region advances after each measurement. A panel is therefore sampled from each region over successive hours—not hit from all six regions every hour.

03 / CLASSIFICATION

HOW A SIGNAL BECOMES A STATUS

HTTP 200–399 / 405OPERATIONAL

The endpoint answered normally or rejected only the HEAD method.

401 / 403 / 407 / 429 / 451RESTRICTED

The site answered, but access from that route was restricted or rate-limited.

OTHER HTTP 400–499DEGRADED

The web server responded with a client-facing error.

HTTP 500+ / NETWORK ERRORUNAVAILABLE*

A second-region confirmation is required before an incident opens.

PROXY CONTROL FAILEDINCONCLUSIVE

The measurement route could not validate itself, so the panel is not blamed.

04 / FAILURE GATE

TWO ROUTES
OR NO INCIDENT.

01PRIMARY FAILS

A scheduled regional probe reports unavailable.

02ROUTE VALIDATES

For network errors, the proxy must first reach an independent control endpoint.

03NEXT REGION AGREES

Only another unavailable result confirms and opens the incident.

Recovery is recorded when a later conclusive website response is operational, restricted, or degraded. API incidents require consecutive failed daily sync measurements, so API confirmation is intentionally slower.

05 / DATA LIFECYCLE

KEEP THE SIGNAL.
DROP THE WEIGHT.

30 DAYSRAW CHECKS

Individual request results support recent logs, investigations, and detailed charts.

400 DAYSDAILY ROLLUPS

Compact regional availability and latency aggregates preserve long-term trends.

5 MINPUBLIC BADGES

Embeddable SVG status is cached and supports conditional ETag requests.

1–5 MINPUBLIC HTML

Live pages use short shared caches; the static methodology uses a 24-hour cache.

NO EXTRA HITSREGIONAL BLOCKS + CHARTS

Public views read cached stored measurements; viewing a page never probes a panel.

AGGREGATE ONLYOUTBOUND CLICKS

The affiliate redirect increments one panel-level counter. SMMMeter does not store a click IP, user agent, or referrer.

06 / READ BEFORE USE

WHAT THIS
DOES NOT
PROVE.

01 A successful HEAD response does not prove that every browser page, checkout, payment method, or downstream provider works.

02 Proxy routing, geoblocking, bot protection, maintenance, and transient network conditions can affect measurements.

03 Hourly sampling can miss short incidents. Region rotation means regional comparisons cover different moments in time.

04 API measurements reflect the daily catalog request, not order placement, refill, cancellation, or balance operations.

05 Technical availability is not a review, security audit, endorsement, or guarantee of panel quality.

06 SMMMeter is independently operated. Panel links may be affiliate links; commissions and outbound click counts do not change status calculations or ordering.
