Mixed
Results vary across websitepulse.com: of 10 URLs tested, 2 are blocked, 4 are disrupted some of the time and 4 load normally. The Great Firewall resets the connection and blocks the connection outright. 497 tests have been run under this domain since 2011-05-07, the most recent on 2026-10-19.
The two are filtered by different means — an unencrypted request by the address and keywords it carries in the clear, an encrypted one by the server name in its TLS handshake — so one working while the other does not is normal.

Plain HTTP and HTTPS differ here: http://websitepulse.com is intermittent, https://websitepulse.com is not blocked. The two are filtered by different means — an unencrypted request by the address and keywords it carries in the clear, an encrypted one by the server name in its TLS handshake — so one working while the other does not is normal.
A VPN or another circumvention tool routes the request outside mainland China, past the filtering that blocks websitepulse.com. GreatFire runs GreatFire VPN; the Analyzer also tests the domains of many VPN and proxy providers, so you can check whether one is reachable before relying on it.
