Several targets answer their home page with a redirect, and a check follows it. Their figure then times the request to the new URL too, often on another host. Every S3 region redirects to https://aws.amazon.com/s3/, and B2 (https://api.backblazeb2.com) redirects to www.backblaze.com. The AWS Console and Akamai home pages redirect too. So these figures do not measure the host their name names.

Found while working on #190.

Definition of done

  • Every target is checked at a URL that its own host answers without a redirect.
  • README.md says what a figure includes.
  • A test covers the targets that used to redirect.

Model: opus-5-5
