We have a lot of very cool features planned to extend this as well.
We're also working on putting together some aggregated statistics about these metrics for a future blog post.
Great looking site, btw.
Edit: hang on it's going up and down a bit, it's at 65 now (giving YSlow score of 83) didn't realise it was going to be dynamically updated. Actually looks like a good site speed summary.
Sorry for the inconvenience in getting your score promptly. On a good note 92 is a really great score. Our score incorporates the following items:
- Time it takes to download the HTML - Time it takes to display the title - Time it takes to paint the page - Time to Interactivity - YSlow! score
We take all these measurements from different locations so if you get a 92; it means that no matter where in the world you user is - they will have a great initial experience with our site.
Try refreshing the page or searching for the URL again.
What URL were you querying?
Email me if you still have problems (jrosoff AT yottaa.com)
It looks like the site is having issues with load. My first click of the link gave me a giant wall of text, which looked like the result of badly crafted HTML + a dropped CSS request.
Other pages have serious Flash of Unstyled Content issues, as well the "render everything, then collapse everything with jQuery" issue that you never notice in dev, but everybody on the internet sees every page load.
Extra bonus points for this one having a name so bad that typing it into a new window while reading the original landed me here instead: http://yotta.com/
As to the service itself, it will be wildly inaccurate for anybody running on Cloudfront or another CDN that allows using CNAMES so that img.yoursite.com is served from the CDN. I'm curious to hear their plans for dealing with that.
regarding the CDN. Totally agree, you can't just assume it's a CDN based on CNAME. we're working on some smarter ways of identifying the CDN you're using based on a few things. we walk the dns resolution tree. so we'll see, for example, that img.yoursite.com is cname'd to xxxxxx.cloudfront.net. we're building a database of known cdn's so we can easily identify what CDN you're on. we also want to let site owners tag their own domains to self-declare which things are cdn's and which are self-hosted. all of these will help to give us better data.
oh and we love feedback, so please tell us if you've got better ways!
It took about 10 minutes I reckon to run though.
