A report card for your site, every day.
Pica runs these checks on your own sites daily and only writes when a grade slips. $11.11 a month for 50 sites.
Watch my websiteThink a site belongs here?
After the top 100 we keep going. Suggest a site and Pica will add it to the queue. Bribes are not accepted, snacks are considered.
Suggest a siteHow we grade. Four checks, weighted equally: speed timed by our own browser, a security look from the outside, public reputation signals, and the network the site lives on. The order of the list is roughly by traffic, not by grade. A look from the outside is not a server audit. These report cards are an early preview and the figures are illustrative until the live checks run.
