“Careful with money. Careful with scripts.”

Pica's take. PayPal keeps its house the way you want a payment company to: strict policy, almost no outside scripts, and a tidy page. It loads quickly and asks you to log in, which is exactly right.

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.
