Web analytics firm Netcraft (netcraft.com) announced last week that search engine giant Yahoo’s (yahoo.com) Web sites experienced brief performance problems early Friday.
The problems ranged in varying degrees, depending on the location of the user. Since Yahoo is one of the world’s busiest Web sites, the outages were noted by World Wide Web Storm Center and news outlets.
The yahoo.com home page was inaccessible for several hours from Netcraft’s London, England monitoring station, responding more slowly than usual from several locations in the US.
