"Pokémon Go" is now a worldwide craze that is being played by a lot of gamers at the same time. Hence, this makes Niantic having a hard time to keep the mobile game online and support all these players at once.
The Disadvantage Of Down Server
A lot of players around the world are affected whenever "Pokémon Go" system crash. But, if there's anyone who is more concern of the down system, it would be Niantic.
Niantic is, obviously, losing a lot of money whenever "Pokémon Go" goes offline. When no one is playing, no one will spend their cash out in the game.
"Pokémon Go" players are paying out virtual money called PokéCoins that can be used to buy items from the title, Wired reported.
In fact, as per the analytics firm, AppAnnie, Niantic can earn up to $1 million a day on "Pokémon Go" that can go up to $1 billion a year if its server doesn't act up.
A New Site Designed To Check 'Pokémon Go' Server
So, a new site created by a group of engineers at a New York tech designed a web page called Is Pokémon Go Down Or Not?
This web site is specially made to see if "Pokémon Go" server is working perfectly fine or once again crashes.
The "Pokémon Go" tracker can check the availability of the server every 30 seconds using the Pokémon Trainer Club account, which you can find the API here, according to Forbes.
From here the gamers can see how "Pokémon Go" system will respond. If the login time takes more than eight seconds that means "Pokémon Go" is having a little hard time to open.
If it takes more than 15 seconds, "Pokémon Go" is at a critical level of loading. If "Pokémon Go" uptime goes below 95 percent it is an alarming level and less than 90 percent is also unstable.
