FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Orlando, FL - (May 17, 2007) – WebSitePulse, a leading provider of global, independent and remote monitoring of web applications and e-business transactions reported today that Hallmark.com was unavailable for more than 10 hours on Wednesday, May 9th, a key last-minute shopping day for buyers wanting delivery of gifts by the Friday before Mother's Day. In addition to May 9, Hallmark.com also experienced problems on May 8, 10, 11, 12 and 13.
"Starting at 8:30 in the morning and during the whole day, up until 7:15pm, the Hallmark website was not accessible most of the time, returning either 'Service Unavailable' errors or not responding at all," said Iavor Marinoff, CEO of WebSitePulse. "During the short periods of time when our tests showed their online transaction sequence was working we recorded very high response times. We believe Hallmark.com struggled with capacity and was not able to service all online customer requests."
Hallmark.com was one of six key online retailers monitored by WebSitePulse from May 8-14, 2007. Other sites monitored included AmericanGreetings.com; FTD.com; MarthaStewartFlowers.com; ProFlowers.com; and TeleFlora.com.
"The daily Average Response time from all six monitored websites was 5.12 seconds, which, by comparison, is about five times slower than the tax-related websites we monitored between April 5th and April 26th of this year," Marinoff added.
