Release notes

• 15 May 2025

  We work continually to improve our Internet measurement methodologies. We’ve recently updated how we calculate two of the measurements that we use on the country profile pages that live under Country Reports, both of which will have an impact on how they’re represented in Pulse.

  The section of Pulse that covers Internet Shutdowns is our most popular by far. We’ve heard from the community that they want it to be easier to show and understand the scale and impact of shutdowns around the world. We’ve taken the first big step in redesigning this section, so that it’s easier to find ongoing shutdowns, explore those that have already happened, and see where the worst offenders are.

  If you’re using the Pulse API you can now retrieve the data for many of the endpoints in a spreadsheet-friendly CSV (comma-separated values) format, in addition to the existing JSON format.

  In reviewing and updating the code we use to generate the Internet Resilience Index, we noticed a few bugs, two of which had an impact on the data we use to generate the scores. We’ve fixed them, and then updated our methodology document to reflect the latest updates. The scores are now more accurate, although, as a result of these updates, many have been adjusted up or down by a few points.

  We’ve redesigned the country reports in Pulse, so that they’re more curated, easier to use, and can be understood by a wider audience. Our goal is to help people use country reports to explore Internet health, resilience, and development at country or territory level.

  We've been working on making the data for the IXP Tracker more usable, including releasing it as an open source library. We've also made some other changes and updates that more accurately reflect the growth and membership of IXPs.
