MyCoupons.com Checks Out Web Performance with AlertSite

Top Internet coupon provider counts on AlertSite’s DéjàClick to ensure shoppers can maximize their dollars 24 hours a day

COCONUT CREEK, Fla.—October 20, 2008—The Web’s oldest and most popular coupon code provider, MyCoupons.com is now using AlertSite®’s DéjàClick™ to monitor its Web performance and ensure that 650,000 monthly users have access to downloadable coupons and discount codes for online merchants and local grocers around the clock, and around the world.

“It only takes one system breakdown to make you realize you need a better Web performance monitoring solution,” says Gregory Stoltz, President of MyCoupons.com. “That’s what happened to us before we found AlertSite. Our service went offline for six hours on a Sunday afternoon, and we didn’t know it. Consumers couldn’t get our coupons. The Google AdWords we were buying sent people to an unavailable page. What’s more, our revenue stream took a hit, because we only get paid when consumers redeem our retailers’ coupons. Frankly, we were out of business for six hours.”

Soon after recovering from the system failure, MyCoupons’ IT team did some comparison shopping of its own. After testing several Web performance monitoring solutions, they chose AlertSite’s DéjàClick, the first inside-the-browser business transaction recording and playback system, for its capabilities and ease of use. Network administrators at MyCoupons now use DéjàClick to record, measure, and monitor crucial Web performance metrics, such as addresses, text, images, HTML, JavaScript, CSS, Flash, and more.

“Within just a few minutes, we had more insight into our Web site’s performance, load time, and availability than we ever had access to before,” Stoltz says. “Most important, if something goes wrong, we’ll get an alert within minutes. Thanks to AlertSite, I don’t think we’ll ever have unplanned downtime again.”

MyCoupons.com is the latest in a series of premiere Internet destinations that have chosen AlertSite for Web performance monitoring and measurement.

“MyCoupons’ commitment to giving visitors the best Web experience possible has helped the site evolve as one of the most trusted cost-saving resources among shoppers,” says Ken Gross, President and CEO of AlertSite. “And with DéjàClick now monitoring the performance of MyCoupons’ site, the company can be sure that new and returning visitors will always have access to the site’s wealth of shopping deals.”
