Site Health Report Card
“Surprisingly quick. Unsurprisingly serious.”
Pica's take. The IRS site is lighter and tidier than you would expect, with four outside scripts and proper locks. It loads fine. What you find inside is a separate matter, and Pica does not do taxes.

Run the TTFB Check on irs.govPica runs these checks on your site every day, and only writes when a grade slips. $11.11 a month for 50 sites.
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.
