Tax Web Sites Perform Well
April 20, 2006 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) Web monitoring and application provider WebSitePulse (websitepulse.com) announced on Wednesday that leading tax Web sites offered uninterrupted and consistently reliable services to the late e-filers over the two weeks prior to April 17.
The IRS revealed that, as of Thursday, April 13, online filing was up 15 percent compared to the same period last year, marking the greatest growth for e-file among those filing from a home computer. Twelve of the most popular tax Web sites – based on last years’ increase in traffic data and overall search engine visibility – were monitored by WebSitePulse between April 1 and 17.
Performance was measured for a standard 3-step Web-transaction, every 15 minutes, from the San Francisco, Chicago, and Washington D.C. monitoring locations, to simulate the end users experience. The results were summarized, published daily and released to the public in the WebSitePulse Performance and Uptime Reports and through RSS feeds.
“We are pleased to report that all monitored tax Web sites performed without interruptions or major deviations from their normal response times during the last two weeks of the 2006 tax season,” says Iavor Marinoff, CEO of WebSitePulse. “Usually, their traffic increases between 20 and 100 percent during this time of the year but their Web sites, Web systems and applications offered reliable access and consistently high-quality services to the large crowds of late e-filers.”
