here two ways to optimize checks:
- offload some of the most frequently checked monitors to a load device. if there is a page that is slow to load, it is best to run them locally[1].
- use crontab to schedule checks within a specific time period.
[1] From Pricing | Distill – In cloud, checks are counted in units of 10 seconds. If a check takes upto 10s, it is counted as one. If it takes more than 10s and less than 20s, it is counted as two.
