Performance Tracking > 2010 Mother's Day Websitepulse 2010 Mother's Day Performance & Uptime Report SummaryThis Mother's Day went very well for the retailers, at least in terms of performance. All but one of the six monitored sites, which included AmericanGreetings.com, ProFlowers.com, TeleFlora.com, FTD.com, 1800flowers.com and Hallmark.com, hit the 100% Uptime mark and since no major outages were detected, the average uptime reached a new high - 99.999%. It doesn't get much better than that, but... let's wait for next year. The improved customer experience is not only noticeable in the availability of the sites, but also in the constantly improved response time. This year a typical transaction loading took 1.980 seconds on average compared to 2.260 seconds last year. Hallmark.com have climbed to the top of the response time table with FTD.com following closely behind. The visitors of TeleFlora.com had to be the most patient, as the transaction there took in average of 3.846 seconds seconds to complete. We will be back shortly with more statistics because the Vacation planning season is upon us.

Best regards, and takeITeasy™ with WebSitePulse™ Iavor Marinoff, CEO Methodology: The 2010 Mother's Day Reports reflect a complete web transaction, representative for the End Users' interactions with a website. The reporting period covers the dates between May 05 and May 14, 2010. Performance and availability measurements are made for a typical multi-step web transaction at 15 minute monitoring interval, every day 24/7. The WebSitePulse application monitoring service is used to collect data and to create the reports. The steps in each transaction are comparable for all websites, and reflect the real online shopper experience. The simultaneous monitoring is performed from 3 US-based locations of the WebSitePulse monitoring network: San Francisco, CA, Chicago, IL, and Washington, DC. In case of a detected malfunction or unavailability, the system performs automated error verification from 3 independent resources and only after the above procedure is performed and has returned consistent results, the detected error is confirmed, recorded, and included in the daily performance reports. In these cases, an advanced WebSitePulse exclusive feature comes into play - Forced Monitoring -, which automatically switches to a 3 minute monitoring interval for increased accuracy. About WebSitePulse: WebSitePulse is a leading provider of global, independent, and objective availability and performance monitoring of web sites, servers, network components, web applications, e-business- and email round-trip transactions.
