The Natural Law
party has opened up a commanding lead over Labour,
Conservative and the Liberal Democrats – in
website performance at least.
According to
figures released by performance monitors Keynote,
in the week to June 5, connection times to the
Natural Law party website averaged 0.49 seconds,
compared with 1.25 seconds for the conservatives,
2.32 seconds for Labour and a whopping 8.91
seconds for the Liberal Democrats. The party also
scored best for overall reliability, with 99.78%
availability compared with Labour’s 99.58%,
Liberal Democrats’ 99.13% and Conservative’s
97.17%.
The Natural Law Party trounced the
opposition in terms of peak performance, with 0.28
seconds recorded for the fastest download and 2.97
seconds for the slowest. The Liberal Democrats
again found themselves lagging behind the two
major parties with a best time of 5.13 seconds
compared with Labour’s 0.79 and the Conservatives’
0.77. The Liberal Democrats also posted the
slowest of all times with a thumping 35.44-second
download, compared with 16.56 by Labour and 3.23
for the Conservatives.
None of the parties
surveyed can realistically blame slow downloads on
heavy traffic - Panel based researchers NetValue,
told netimperative.com that traffic on those sites
was “too low to report on and make the numbers
statistically robust”.
