Site Health Report Card
“Powers half the web. Loads its own page fine.”
Pica's take. WordPress.com runs a tidy front page on its own network, with sensible locks and a short guest list. Considering how many plugins the rest of the WordPress world installs, this is remarkably restrained.

Run the TTFB Check on wordpress.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.
