Site Health Report Card
“Seven-minute read. Two-second load.”
Pica's take. Medium is clean, readable, and quick, with a short guest list and a home on Cloudflare. It is a lovely place to read, right up until the members-only wall.

Run the TTFB Check on medium.comPica 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.
