Methodology:
WebSitePulse Performance Reports measure Uptime and Response Time as the most important metrics for the availability and the reliability of any web-based operation. Performance measurement takes place daily, every 15 minutes during the entire Hurricane season. The WebSitePulse website monitoring service is used to collect data and to create the reports.
The simultaneous monitoring is performed from 3 US locations of the WebSitePulse monitoring network: Trumbull, CT, San Francisco, CA and Chicago, IL. 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.

WebSitePulse 2021 Hurricane Season Web Performance and Uptime Report
The 2021 Atlantic Hurricane Season has started on June 1 st and will end on November 30 th, 2021. It is
related to storms and hurricanes formed in the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean
Sea, which most commonly affect the North American continent.
So far, this year's Atlantic Hurricane Season is relatively slow. It started earlier on May 22 nd with the tropical storm Ana. The season includes five tropical depressions, five tropical storms, and one hurricane (category 1). So far, the storms have caused $390 million in damages and 19 fatalities.
The 2021 Pacific Hurricane Season started on May 15 th in the Eastern Pacific Ocean and on June 1 st in the Central Pacific. Both will end on November 30 th, 2021. Although there were ten tropical depressions, eight tropical storms, three hurricanes, and one major hurricane (category 4), their impact was low on the US coastline. Only the hurricane Enrique affected Baja California Peninsula, causing $50 million in damages and two deaths.
For the 16 th consecutive year, WebSitePulse will provide free monitoring and notifications during the 2021 hurricane season to five of the most popular websites that present their users with real-time forecasts, emergency information, and donation opportunities in times of hurricanes, floods, and other natural or man-caused disasters.
The WebSitePulse Performance Reports will measure the websites' uptime and response time as the most critical metrics for the availability and the reliability of any web-based operation, crucial for the End Users' overall online experience. Measurements of web transactions will be made every 15 minutes, simultaneously from three different monitoring locations. In-depth analytical information is also collected and stored in the WebSitePulse system for future references.
The Reports reflect the most common performance criteria: response time and availability - but in-debt analytical information is also collected and stored in the WebSitePulse system for future references.
