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 2025 Hurricane Season Web Performance and Uptime Report Intro
The 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season runs from June 1st to November 30th, the period when more than
97% of tropical and subtropical storms typically form in the Atlantic. This season covers storm
activity in the Northern Hemisphere, specifically in the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and
Caribbean Sea, often affecting North America.
The Atlantic Hurricane Season started on June 24th, 2025, with Tropical Storm Andrea, followed by three more Tropical Storms — Barry (June 28th ), Chantal (July 4th ), and Dexter (August 4th), leading to more than $61.97 million in damage and 14 deaths.
The 2025 Pacific Hurricane Season began on May 15th in the Eastern Pacific and on June 1st in the Central Pacific, with both ending on November 30th. Unlike last season, which marked the latest start to a Pacific hurricane season in the satellite era, this year saw several storms form early in the season.
The season began with Tropical Storm Alvin on May 28th. Since then, there have been one tropical depression (Eight-E), three tropical storms (Cosme, Dalila, and Keil), two Category 1 hurricanes (Barbara and Gil), two Category 3 hurricanes (Flossie and Iona), and one Category 4 hurricane (Erick).
Altogether, these storms have caused over $290 million in damage and resulted in 25 fatalities. For the 20th year in a row, WebSitePulse will offer free monitoring and alerts throughout the remainder of the 2025 hurricane season for five leading websites that deliver real-time forecasts, emergency updates, and donation options during hurricanes, floods, and other natural or human- made disasters.
The WebSitePulse Performance Reports will measure the websites' uptime and response time as the most critical metrics for any web-based operations' availability and reliability — crucial for the End Users' overall online experience. Web transactions will be measured every 15 minutes simultaneously from three different monitoring locations. In-depth analytical information is also collected and stored in the WebSitePulse system for future reference. 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.
