New Benchmarks for Asia Pacific, Central and South America,
and Europe More Than Double the Number of Gomez Benchmarks
Worldwide
Gomez, the web performance division of Compuware Corporation
(Nasdaq:CPWR), today launched several new international industry
benchmarks that provide companies with an unbiased view of the state of
web and mobile site performance to improve customer experiences online,
provide brand support and drive revenue.
Gomez's benchmarks, recognized as a comprehensive set of global
independent web performance metrics, have been expanded to include
benchmarks in eight new countries: Australia, Brazil, France, Hong
Kong, Italy, Japan, Singapore and Sweden. These new international
benchmarks measure the performance of the home page--the front door--of
the websites of the selected companies in each industry.
"Because benchmarking helps companies to better understand the
connection between web and mobile application performance, business
results, and improved process discipline, it has become a valuable tool
in today's competitive online marketplace among leading international
companies," said Matt Poepsel, VP Performance Strategies, Gomez. "The
demand for benchmark metrics has been steadily increasing across the
globe, and we are meeting that demand by expanding our benchmarks in
eight new countries, with more to come."

-- Australia Benchmarks: Australia Banking, Australia Insurance

Gomez has doubled the number of global web performance benchmarks it
has published for over ten years to more than 100 that include more
than 2,000 companies in dozens of industries. Gomez web benchmarks
involve testing the websites of target companies using a subset of the
Gomez Network, which features more than 150 high-bandwidth "backbone"
locations and more than 150,000 actual end-user "Last Mile" locations
around the world. Gomez Mobile benchmarks test mobile-specific versions
of target websites. These are typically "streamlined" versions of
websites that were created specifically with the mobile form factor and
throughput speeds in mind. Gomez Business Process benchmarks measure
typical multistep processes--such as purchasing a product or performing
a stock trade--across major brands in the same industry. For more
