Webwinkels in recessie?

During the 18 October - 18 November 2008 period, Nimsoft Cloud Monitor tested the websites of 38 Dutch online shops. Every 5 minutes, one of the test stations of Nimsoft Cloud Monitor retrieved the homepage of the site, without graphics, frames etc. This HTML page was expected to download within 8 seconds, without any errors. If that time was exceeded or if an error occurred, it was verified by one of the other test stations. If this station also established an error, it was counted as 'poor availability or not available'.

An uptime of 99.99% or higher is extremely desirable for high-profile companies and those that achieve high turnovers through their sites. Many companies stipulate an uptime of 99.9% as a minimum requirement in the Service Level Agreement with their IT department or provider. An uptime below 99% is usually regarded as unacceptable. In the table below these limits are indicated with colours.
