Methodology:
The 2021 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 Apr 30rd and May 10, 2021. 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.

Websitepulse 2021 Mother's Day Performance & Uptime Report Summary
Mother's Day 2021 has passed with big success even in the current COVID-19 pandemic. After all,
about 83% of the US population celebrated it. A record of $28.9 billion was expected to be spent this
year, $2.2 billion more than 2020 Mother's Day spending.
The holiday was wildly successful for the online retailers who fulfilled more than half of the gift purchases.
Now, when the holiday weekend is over, we have finished monitoring 11 of the most popular gift shopping websites for our 2021 Mother's Day Report.
For this Performance Report, WebSitePulse, as usual, measures not only the performance of the websites' home pages but measures a complete web transaction representative for the end-users interactions with a website as well.
The report measures 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 the multi-step online transactions are made every 15 minutes, simultaneously, from 3 different monitoring locations: Washington DC (US East Coast), San Francisco, CA (US West Coast), and Chicago, IL (US Central).
The overall performance of most of the monitored gift shopping websites demonstrated their preparedness to meet the challenges of the expected heavier web traffic during the Mother's Day week.
We have found out the daily average response time from all monitored websites was 1.923 sec., which is nearly 0.3 seconds faster than the last year's. The daily average responses by locations are as follow:
