“Loads before you blink. Looks like 1998.”

Pica's take. Craigslist is a hundred kilobytes of pure function. No images, no outside scripts, no nonsense, and it loads before you finish clicking. It skipped a couple of modern locks, but honestly, there is not much in the house to steal.

How 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. A look from the outside is not a server audit.
