We monitored and tested the leading shopping websites in six different countries to see how they fared in the lead up to and during the holiday shopping weeks.
The 300-plus websites we tested in the United States, United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, Belgium, and The Netherlands performed quite well overall. The country with the most sites in the 100% uptime category was Germany with 33% of the 30 tested sites experiencing no downtime during the reporting period. Coming in second was the United Kingdom with 31% of the 89 websites experiencing 100% uptime, followed by Spain with 29% of 17 websites and the United States with 27% of 100 sites with no downtime. The Netherlands had only 12% of the 91 sites tested with 100% uptime, while Belgium sites performed worst of all with only 10% of the 83 sites tested with 100% uptime.
