“Came for one thing. Loaded forty.”

Pica's take. Target's site is bright, friendly, and a little heavy, like a cart that started with toothpaste. Twenty-eight outside scripts help with the shopping. The locks are solid and the store is well lit.

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.
