Site Health Report Card
“No paywall. Just a polite request.”
Pica's take. The Guardian is fairly light for a newspaper, well locked, and asks for support instead of putting up a wall. Twenty-one outside scripts is modest by news standards. A solid read.

Run the TTFB Check on theguardian.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.
