New features in the website monitoring service

Filed Under (Website Monitoring) by admin on 28-01-2011

We have introduced three new features:

1. The website is online during all the trial period? No problem, trial account users can now simulate the outage by simply clicking a button.

2. Checking the server response is not enough? Our system can now confirm if your website HTML is fully loaded by checking the presence of the "</html>" tag.

3. Changed the URL of your website? Or decided to use the service to monitor a different website? You can now modify the URL and decide whether to purge the historical data or not.

More to come soon.

Egypt Shuts Down Internet

Filed Under (Website Monitoring) by admin on 28-01-2011

The situation in Egypt now seems to have taken a new turn. First, it was <a href="http://www.website-monitoring.com/blog/2010/05/04/twitter-facts-and-figures-history-statistics/”>twitter, <a href="http://www.website-monitoring.com/blog/2010/03/17/facebook-facts-and-figures-history-statistics/”>facebook followed shortly after and now it’s the whole Internet communication. After the hack attack launched on their websites yesterday, the government has now cut off internet access and mobile coverage in the country.

Customers of Link Egypt, Vodafone/Raya, Telecom Egypt, and Etisalat Misr are suffering from a massive Internet and SMS blackout. The orchestrated plug-pulling happened around 12.30 am (Egypt time) and our system immediately detected the blockage of the government sites.

<img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-457" title=" Egypt government sites block" src="http://www.website-monitoring.eu/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/fe1c8_Egypt-300×178.jpg” alt=”" width=”300″ height=”178″ />

According to a BGPMon report as much as 88 percent of the traffic was successfully shut down leaving the country without external communications. Still, as <a title="Mashable" href="http://mashable.com/2011/01/27/youtube-flickr-show-escalating-violence-in-egyptian-protests/” target=”_blank”>Mashable reports, mostly on-the-ground news outlets have still found ways to upload images and videos of the escalating violence that is shaking the nation all over.

The government is facing its hardest test today as mass protests are expected all over the country after Friday prayer and the Egyptian army now patrols the streets of Cairo with armored personnel carriers, CNN reports.

We will continue to follow the situation closely.

To see how the Internet blackout looks like, you can find an interesting graph here - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/28/this-is-what-egypts-cutoff-from-the-net-looks-like_n_815335.html.

Primary Vendor Tag Selector Improves Audit Accuracy

Filed Under (Website Monitoring) by admin on 27-01-2011

New Feature: Primary Vendor Selection

By default, every SiteAudit will automatically discovers all pages and all supported tags. However, when sites are very large (500,000 pages or more), have complex structures or very heavy pages, a small number of tags may not appear during the audit. For these situations, we’ve added the “Primary Vendor” feature.
