Maintenance windows tell Zepeed to skip scheduled speedtests during defined time ranges. Use them to avoid noisy alerts and skewed metrics during ISP maintenance, planned router reboots, or any period when your connection is intentionally down.

​
How it works

During an active maintenance window:
  • Scheduled tests are skipped — they do not execute and do not appear as failures.
  • Manual test runs are still allowed unless you choose to block them.
  • Notifications (webhooks, email) for skipped runs are suppressed.
Once the window ends, the regular schedule resumes automatically.

Common use cases

Overnight ISP maintenance

Block tests every night between 2:00 and 4:00 AM when your provider performs routine maintenance.

Weekly router reboot

Schedule a short weekly window when your router or modem auto-reboots.

Planned outage

Create a one-time window during a scheduled service interruption to avoid false failure alerts.

Travel / offline periods

Pause all tests while you are away and the site is intentionally offline.

​
Manage windows

  • Edit — Click any window to update its time range or scope.
  • Disable — Toggle a window off without deleting it.
  • Delete — Remove a window you no longer need.
Maintenance windows do not delete or hide historical test data — they only prevent new tests from running during the window.
