Site Health Report Card
“Peer reviewed and pretty quick.”
Pica's take. The National Institutes of Health runs a calm, light, well-locked site with barely any outside scripts. It is exactly what you want from a research institution: careful, fast, and not trying to sell you anything.

Run the TTFB Check on nih.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.
