👉 It is direct financial loss.
1. Downtime = More Than Just Lost Sales
Example:
- Daily revenue: 60,000 TL
- Hourly revenue: 2,500 TL
👉 1 hour of downtime = 2,500 TL
But that is only the visible part.
2. The Real Cost Model
Direct Loss
Downtime Cost = Hourly Revenue × Duration
2,500 TL × 3 hours = 7,500 TL
Conversion Rate Drop
- CR: 3% → 2.4%
👉 20% decline
10,000 traffic → 60 lost sales
Churn
- 5% customer loss
👉 long-term revenue loss
SEO Impact
- crawl error
- ranking drop
- traffic loss
Operational Cost
- developer time
- crisis management
3. Total Impact
👉 real cost = 3x – 10x
4. Benchmark
Test:
- traffic: 10,000/day
- CR: 3%
- AOV: 250 TL
VPS:
- downtime: 2–4 hours
- high loss
HA:
- downtime: <10 min
- low loss
👉 90%+ improvement
5. Production Scenario
